Thor!

Today was "the best Halloween ever!!"   I dressed up like Thor and went trick or treating with my good friends Josh and Kyle.  We hit every single house in my neighborhood and now I have so much candy!! Everyone said I made a good Thor with my hammer, helmet and my big muscles.   That was so much fun, I can't wait to do it again next year!

Ohio Fun

I love visiting my family in Ohio.  Uncle Jeff, Aunt Heather, cousins Cole and Luke are just so much fun!  I spent Saturday playing legos and playdoh and Sunday at a fall festival.  I wish I could see them more often!

School photo time!

Here is my latest school photo!  Since I will see most of the immediate family over the next few weeks expect to get your photo in person. 

Sports!

Mom has me very busy on Saturdays.  I have a few more weeks of soccer and today I start swim lessons at an indoor swimming pool.  I am wearing my official swim uniform.  It is supposed to help the kids feel like it is more of a sport and have fun since they have a uniform to put on.   Swim lessons this summer was rough, it was chilly in the mornings and I only participated in a couple of the classes - mom and dad are hoping with warm water and small class sizes (3 kids only) I will actually swim!

Speech Classes

I have been going to Glenkirk Elementary school for 4 weeks now every Monday and Wednesday for speech class.  It is fun to ride the bus (zero bus issues, unlike New Mexico) and show Mommy what we worked on that day.  It is not as intensive as the New Mexico program was but it is all school year long so I will be getting speech help consistently all year which should help prepare me for Kindergarten.   This week we were focusing on the "L" sound and we used the tongue depressor to help make the "LLLLL"sound you make at the doctor.  The depressor was grape flavored, which is amazing. 

Go Gators

I am about to head off to a birthday party, but when I come home it will be football time!  Florida plays LSU today and hopefully the Gators win!

Helper

I helped Daddy change the oil in the cars and I helped my classroom art project this week by supplying the flowers.  I am a big helper!

Weekend Fun!

Darth Dexter!

Riding the train

This weekend while Mommy was running a race Daddy and I went to Maryland to visit family.  Gram made me some new clothes!  A Jedi robe and some fun cameo shorts.  On Saturday Gram's town was having a fall festival where you get to ride a train - so we checked that out and all that Hurlock, MD has to offer :)

Meanwhile Mommy was doing a race with her co-workers.  It was a 200 mile running race with 12 runners.  Each runner took turns running anywhere from 3-9 miles at a time.  Mommy did leg 5 (4.1 miles), leg 17 (7.3 miles) and leg 29 (3.7 miles).  They raced non-stop from 7am Friday in Cumberland, MD until they finished at the National Harbor in D.C. around 1:30pm Saturday.  It was tons of fun and Mommy wants to do it again next year.  There is one from Miami to Key West her friends are talking about doing in February 2015!

Mom looks good after her final run.  15.1 miles in a 24 hour period and little sleep :)

The 12 runners and our 2 van drivers at the finish line!  Our team name was Capt. Crunch and the cereal killers so we made fun hats to wear between runs.  People's crazy costumes and van decorations were half of the fun!

Soccer practice

I am halfway through the soccer season now and I am starting to get the hang of it all.  I enjoyed practice today, especially since Daddy was an assistant coach! 

Saturday I have another game and then we are driving over to Gram's house for the Hurlock, MD fall festival.  Mommy leaves tomorrow for her crazy 200 mile relay race with her coworkers so she is going to miss my game and the trip to Grams.
