Pumpkin Carving

I really enjoyed carving pumpkins this year! Here are some pics and a video!!

We started simple - just created a pig - no carving involved

The real deal - the top comes off!Hmmmmm

She said "coooool" when she felt the seeds

She loved how they felt!!

The final touch - the candle!

The finished product - so cute! And we roasted seeds too - Cat loved them!

Days at Cookie and Papa's House

I love spending time at Cookie and Papa's house. Every Thursday afternoon, Papa picks me up from Mommy and Daddy's and takes me to his house. He and I spend time together before Cookie gets home from work. I spend the night at their house and Fridays are Cookie days! I do so many fun things at their house. Here are some pictures of things I like to do!

Zoo Trips

I love the Zoo. Every year Baboo gives me a Zoo pass ofr my birthday! I can go as often as I want and ride the train as many times as I want - it is so much fun! My favorite things are feeding the giraffes (Gabby and Colby), petting the farm animals, and riding the train! One week I went twice - once with Mommy and once with Baboo and Mommy!!

Visit to Mobile Aug 30 - Sept 1

The very first weekend in September, we went over to Mobile for the weekend to go to a Stock the Bar party for Aunt Larinda and Uncle Chris. It was tons of fun to hang out with them and Cat had a BLAST. She especially liked playing in the pool and hugging on Chris' dog Harley. Too bad a hurricane was on its way in and Chris had to spend a lot of the weekend working :(

On Sunday, we went to the Exploreum which Cat fully enjoyed! And we did too!!

Then we heard that the Mobile Tunnel was going to be closed in the next few hours, so we took off and headed home to Navarre. It was a great weekend though!!
