Plant a Tree

We all got up early this morning. Mom got ready for work, while dad and I were going to do things around the house today. The house coat was perfect this morning.
Dad and I headed out into the back yard to plant a tree. We took turns to dig the hole for the tree.We had to dig really deep. Almost all the way to China!
We then planted the tree, tied it to two support sticks and I watered the ground around the tree. I made sure, the tree got plenty of water!

Benjamin McDavis

I am partially Scottish. Probably 1/64 or 1/128, or something like that. I have been doing some soul searching lately and have found my way back to my Scottish ancestors, clan colors and so on. I have been considering changing my name to Benjamin McDavis, but have not made up my mind yet.If you ask me, I think I look good in a kilt. The Scottish side of me just comes naturally.
I have tried to talk dad into wearing a kilt also, but so far, I have had no luck. He seems to prefer his TX Longhorns colors.
See, I could easily be standing in front of my castle, watching over my clans men like a great warrior king.
Oh, I know what is on your mind. So, just to bury all rumors: No, we are not naked under our kilts, we wear Huggies Pull-ups!
Anyway, the kilt was a little itchy and I decided to abandon my Scottish roots for a little while. I guess I will stay Benjamin Davis for a while.

After dinner, it was time to open up presents. I have received many presents from the Faroes. Mostur gave me a Spiderman house coat. Omma gave me lots of outdoor clothes and candy, Abbi gave me a sweater and lots of candy and Langomma had knitted some woolen under wear for our Faroes trip and winter. Mom and dad gave me a soccer ball, Black and Decker drill and a Thomas the Train. Thank you for all the presents!!!

Oh, and see the bite mark under my eye. I was bitten at daycare and it is now turning red and blue. I really cannot complain though, since I was biting a few of the other kids a couple of weeks back. Candy!!!!!!!
Mamma and I made some magic dough this evening. I poured the flour in the bowl and mom mixed it together with the water and salt. Tomorrow, we are going to make sculptures out of it. Will be very interesting.

Trick or Treat

As you all know, Halloween was yesterday! I brought candy and my Spiderman outfit to daycare. After breakfast, we all dressed up and went trick or treating at the daycare. For lunch we ordered Pizza and had juice and cupcakes also.

When we came home, we got ready to go back out to trick or treat. We lit our pumpkins and put a big basket, full of candy, outside. Since no one was home to hand out candy, we left it all outside for the kids to take. They all did good and no one was greedy.

I was Yoda. I didn't want to wear the hat at first, but then found out that this costume got me some candy and the hat was accepted. Everyone handed out all this candy and after a few houses, my basket was half full and heavy. I couldn't carry it, but dragged it behind me. Mom offered to carry it, but I refused. I know, she would steal all the good candy out of the basket, if she got a hold of it. Our street was packed with Trick or Treaters of all ages and I think we had around 100 trick or treaters through out the evening.
Then, in the middle of it all, dad showed up. I was so happy to see him. Didn't want to do more trick or treating, and we all hung out in our drive way for the rest of the evening and handed out candy in stead.
Want some candy? I got a whole lot of candy and offered everyone a lolly pop.
Dad got to dress up as Yoda too, but I think I am a better Yoda.

Can't wait until next Halloween. ChhiiiikkChhheeet!!

Computer Class

Hi,

Now that I am two years old and almost a grown up, I have to start thinking about my future and what I want to be. There is a big world out there and I need to be prepared! Ha ha, well, kind of.... maybe 15 years from now. For now, I plan on spending all my time hanging out with my friends, play and just enjoy life. Anyway, I have started in a computer class now that I am two years old. Every Tuesday I put on my red Gigglebytes t-shirt and go to class. We learn about colors, shapes, match pictures, how to use the mouse and all the buttons. And, we also have to learn to share and take turns. As soon as we come home on Tuesdays, I run over to our computer, push the "on" button and try and teach mom how to operate the computer. Benjamin

Getting ready for Halloween

It was nice and cool outside this morning, so we got dressed and went outside to work on the yard. I mowed, edged and swept. Then, we found a very big, little ant community. I know by now, they bite. So, I ran inside and got dad's thick gardening gloves. We sprayed and sprayed and I think we got most of them. It was time for lunch and a nap by the time, we were done with the yard. I had worked so hard and was so tired that I crashed and slept for 2.5 hours. Usually, when I wake up, I yell: Mammaaa!!! Today, I got out of bed, walked out into the kitchen and yelled BOO at mom. We then got ready and walked across the street to Zormarie and Ronnie to carve pumpkins. They were preparing and Ronnie and I used our leaf blowers to clear the driveway. I really like Ronnie and like to talk with him about sports (Ball).
Mamma and I worked on one pumpkin. First, we cut a hole in the top and dug out all the meat and seeds.
We had a great time! I helped out a lot and also made sure to visit the brownie tray quite a bit.
Tadaa! Here are all of our pumpkins. Ours is the one on the left. We put a candle inside the pumpkin and then put the pumpkin outside. Tonight, you can see all of our pumpkins lit up in our neighborhood.
Can't wait until Halloween!!!
