This is Halloween!

Halloween Day found us at Vio's, with Little Miss Nora as Little Red Riding Hood (it made more sense with the cape on).  Owls and little girls love books, as it turns out.
Owl in motion.
Double Trouble!  Sophie and Dexter were fascinated by the back hallway and don't they just LOOK like they're up to something?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!

Would you like some tea?

This morning we went to Audrey's house for a ladies' tea.  It was lovely.

Halloween!!!

Oh, Angel Owl...
This weekend we had some great Spooky events.  Yesterday, we went to Megan, Alan and Ruben's for Pumpkin Carving, but we were too busy carving to take any pictures!
Then today was a Costume Party at Tarah, Dylan and Hiram's where there we some very interesting artifacts for a little brown owl to find...
A crayon, a bear, a ladybug and an owl.  Who could ask for more?
Our host, Hiram the Truck.
The elusive small brown owl gravitates toward water of any kind and can be found perched, watching fellow animals around her.
Sometimes there are growly brown bears like Unity!

Hats!

Somehow, maybe it's her Costume Designing mama, but we got the baby who loves hats!  Sophie's hats are in a low drawer where she can reach, and she picks out her hats each day, and promptly puts them on by herself.  She will actually not leave the house without a hat on...

A Perfect Autumn Day

A Very Important Tradition has been maintained this year, that of fetching seasonal squash from a patch where it has grown in order to mutilate it into something spooky at some later date.  This year we went to the South 47 Farm across the water and had a great time.  The tradition we will not be able to maintain is that of putting Sophie INTO a carved pumpkin (see last October's entry...), in fact Sophie is already so big that she just stands on them.
Found one!
After the Pumpkin Adventure, went to Madison Park where we met Mimi, Phillip and Yuki, and Gillian, Basil and Nora for some playtime.  Wait, guess what Sophie did just about the WHOLE time!  Yup.  "Wing!"  Here she is winging it with Nora.
Ducks are going this way, Sophie!

Debating is Hard Work

...or extremely boring.  Here is Miss Sophie wiped out after joining us at Tougo to watch the Debate.  Wiped OUT.

A day at the Park

"More, please!"  Our own little Olivia Twist...
"Wing!!!!"
Still "winging"!
Twenty minutes later....
Somebody REALLY likes to swing.
