Behind the scenes

Days where someone has forgotten to take my blog picture until after I've gone to bed are well documented on this blog. Here's a behind the scenes look at a blog pic behind shot without my knowledge at 11:06 p.m.

This is my go-to dress up outfit. I jump into it whenever I can.

Water World

Went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City this weekend. It was a swimming paradise. I even went down the BIG water slides.

Mighty muddy

Dirt + water + an empty garden = the softest, squishiest, best mud around.

Ghoul's Grille

Jello brains and gummy worm intestines were on the menu at the Ghoul's Grille. My job, as a waitress, was to hand out candy to all the trunk or treaters who came by The Wichita Eagle on Friday evening.

Who has the best table manners (like chewing with your mouth closed) of all?

My first pumpkin

I decorated that pumpkin I got from the pumpkin patch last week. Looks pretty good, eh?

Just being neighborly

My neighbor, Ava, came over to play. First order of business: dig a hole in the sandpile and see how far down we can go,

Croup! (There it is)

I woke up this morning with a nasty cough and a fever. A trip to the doctor told me I had croup. Doc says I'll be better in no time.

Swing from the trees

Dad added to the backyard swing collection with this awesome rope swing. I'm still a little bit too small for it and have trouble staying upright, but I'm sure it's going offer a lot of fun for years to come.

The Arty Party

Fire Chief Blackwell is a pretty good narrator when he's reading Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham."

Sitting in quiet, reflective thought

It's nice to have some downtime when there's a busy weekend ahead.

Mr. Squishy, we hardly knew ya

We were so happy when Mr. Squishy the Fishy came into our lives on Friday, but Lexi made a sad and startling discovery today. Tonight we held a funeral for him. Poor guy.

Applejacks pumpkin patch

Went to the pumpkin patch today. In addition to pumpkins, they had trains, and slides, and trampolines, and corn mazes and a host of other amazing things. My classmates and I had a great time.

Playing matchmaker

Dad and I played "Frozen" today. He says I need to work on my "negotiation" skills, whatever that means.

Got the gear for the game

Can't just let my new cleats stay in the box or my shin guards remain in the package. Gotta give 'em a try.

(Oct. 12, 2014)

Sporting the latest style

Got some new cleats, shin guards and other assorted apparel. I'm ready for the pitch now.

Happy little haircut

Is it going to the kiddie beauty salon that I love, or is it playing fun games on the iPad?

Dino speak

I'm learning about dinosaurs in school this week. Here I am showing off my best pterodactyl scream.

This girl's got game, too

Went to my first soccer practice yesterday. Coach Hannah and the rest of the team showed me all kinds of warm-ups and drills. Next on the list: find better-fitting shin guards and some cleats.

Who you callin' ugly?

"The Ugly Pumpkin" is my favorite book to read in the fall. It's about a gourd who's feeling a little left out. My favorite line from the book? "Oh my gosh! I'm a squash!"

Bend it like Beckham

Look out, Mia Hamm. I'm only four, but I'm pretty fast. And I can dribble with both feet, too.

The girl's got game

Bridgit plays this great sport called soccer. I think I'm going to give it a try.

Pug hug

I made the rounds giving out hugs before bed. Even old Norton the pug got a hug.

Santa is Coming to Kansas...in October

I love it when Tony comes all the way to Wichita just to read stories to me at bedtime.

Boo!

It's never too soon to start getting ready for Halloween. I helped set up this scary skeleton, and his scary dog, on the front porch.

A hair-raising experience

Looks like my hair can grow if you add a little water.
