Halloween Party

Friday night was the Halloween Party at the Please Touch Museum.

Unlimited rides on the carousel! Miss C chose the pig.

Gma LaLa got to ride!

Our very own little frog.

Sittin on the egg in the big tree. A fun, loud, crazy event.

Miss C is so comfortable at the museum from her many visits.

I enjoyed watching her show Mama and Dada the way everything works.

TWO YEARS OLD

Miss C is two.

Here she is with tutu and crown!

PaPa, Nonnie, Uncle J and MaMa are enjoying Miss C open her gifts.

Birthday Cake with two candles. Yum.

Toy Surprise

In honor of Miss C's birthday, we dropped a toy (for The Toy Society)

at this library near Philadelphia.

Here's the little pink bird waiting for a child to find her.

No one was in the children's department when we left her.

Little Pinkie . . . with her baby egg.

Dressing

Miss C wants to put things on. She can handle the tutu, and gets her legs into pants. Today we bought two new sleepers -- bigger size, she's growing! -- and she decided to try out a new look . . . . .

Her feet are in the arms; one for each sleeper. And she's very proud of her accomplishment.

The Toy Society

The Toy Society has been spreading cheer and smiles around the world, and I decided to join in. You simply make a toy and "drop" it someplace. I made a birdie:

And dropped it at a park in the neighborhood. The tag says "Take me home." There's a letter inside the bag asking the person to email the Toy Society when the toy has been found. I hope someone enjoys the little bird with her egg in a pouch!

Here's the park; Miss C went with me, and she was excited to leave the toy "for some child that we don't know."

Can you see the bag hanging on the swing?

PURPLE DATE

Mrs T and Mr T just left to go to a movie. Usually when they go out, it's after Miss C is in bed. Tonight they went earlier. We said good-by at the door, and Miss C asked if she could go on a date. A PURPLE DATE! In a purple car! Sounds good to me. . . .

Out on a Limb

What's it like to live in a tree? To be in a nest?

The new exhibit at the Morris Arboretum answers these questions. A huge nest hangs in the tree tops. Cross the bridge. Go inside, sit on the eggs, walk around the nest, look out from this bird's view.

What kind of a bird will hatch?

Squirrels live in the treetops, they run along the tree branches. This netted part of the "Out on a limb" gives you the feeling of running with the squirrels.

This huge trunk is perfect for Peek A Boo.

It was Sunday, after several days of painting, with the project still incomplete. We needed a little break, so took a few hours to live in the trees. The project is finished now; the beautiful white walls and ceiling are a great improvement. Hooray!
