Organizized


Gosh, I love my candy. What's strange about me is that I think I like to organize my candy even more than I like to eat it. I put all the kit kats together, all the suckers together, all the gumballs, etc, you get the picture. I get one piece of candy a day and it takes me a half hour to go through each piece and choose.


What is even stranger is that, like I said, I eat one piece a day, and for some reason over half of my pumpkin bucket booty is gone. Hmm, right? And also I found many many candy wrappers hidden at the bottom of my dad's office wastebasket. You do the math.

All Treats!


Another great Halloween in the neighborhood.


Jack-o-lanterns carved and burning.


I was a stormtrooper and Stuart was Luke Skywalker. But I was one of only three good stormtroopers, so I was a nice guy, and I could be friends with Luke.


We brought along a little monkey named Nadine.


And a little baby Yoda who was very calm and wise.


First treats of the night...off to a delicious start.


Never forget to say 'Thank you' as you are racing down the steps to the next house.


Up on Alberta, the big kids had big kid fun like puppy jousting.


And a Dios de los Muertos parade of skeletons.


When we got home, then I got to stand at my door and hand out candy to other older trick or treaters who went out later than me. Oh, the power! Hope all of you guys and ghouls had a spooky night last night. Mine was perfect!

the great pumpkin

Over our favorite bridge, the St.Johns Bridge, to Sauvie Island, to the pumpkin patch to find a perfect pumpkin for each of us. Halloween is near! Watch out for that bright white harvest moon!

Aunt To Be



Jenna is going to by my newest aunt next year, but I already think of her and call her Aunt Jenna. She came to play her saxaphone at some Portland bars and she stayed with us. Good news for me! My parents were in the thick, or thin, of their not-eating-food and they were very low energy and low conversation and luckily Jenna had some enthusiasm to play with me. I love playing with her. We play games that I make up as I go and only I know the rules so I usually win but good try Jenna, good try though. Hope she comes back soon and next time with Uncle Mike also. Who wants to get cozy???

Master and Servant



Breakfast! Lunch! And dinner! This is what my parents have been only eating for days: juiced lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. No food, no caffeine, no fun. I have to say they are a wee bit grumpy! It is called the Master Cleanse and it is so they can flush out all the toxins that have been in their bodies for their whole lives since they began putting bad things into their bodies. They are supposed to do this for 10 days but they are just going to make it as far as they can. You should see the look on my mom's face when she makes me my delicious smelling meals. They can't stop thinking and talking about food. Let's wish them good luck on this healthy adventure and hope it inspires them to continue a non-toxic life!
