A Special Edition and Very Important 

Halloween Informational Update!

Today is a very important day because it is Halloween! This is one of the best days to get candy so you need to be prepared.  People just hand out candy to cute little ones who are wearing costumes. Elsie and I will maximize our candy potential by increasing our cuteness quotient with extra cute costumes. We think this is a very good plan. 

This is Person's pumpkin.

Halloween is also a time for carving pumpkins! A few weeks ago, Person took us to the pumpkin patch where we all got a pumpkin to carve. Person's pumpkin is way bigger than ours which we don't think is fair! 

We can carve it ourselves!!!

Yesterday we were going to carve our pumpkins. Person said we had to wait until the evening when other Person comes home. We did not want to wait! We had already waited a long time since we got the pumpkins! When Person was working on the computer, we went into the kitchen and got out the pumpkin carving knife and got started! Person was very angry when she found us and sent both of us to time out. I don't understand why she got so upset. When other Person finally came home, we had to eat dinner. People are so slow! Then it was time to carve pumpkins. 

Halloween Eve is almost as exciting as Halloween!

Person carved a picture of us on her pumpkin which made us very happy! Sometimes Person is very sweet and sometimes we love her very much but not always. 

We need to light the candle inside so it will glow!

Early this morning, while Person was still sleeping, we tried to light our pumpkin because it is all pretty with the candle burning. Person found us before we got it going and was mad again. She thinks matches and knives are dangerous. We don't understand why she's allowed to use them and not us.

Can you guess what our costumes are?

This afternoon we were very busy making our costumes. We made them all by ourselves. Well, Person helped a little bit but only with unimportant parts like assembling them. We had the idea.

Where is the chocolate? That's our favorite!

We will be helping Person hand out candy tonight and by helping we mean that we hide some in the coffee table to make sure there's enough left for us.

Happy Halloween everyone!

This is such an exciting day and we haven't even had any candy yet! We hope you have all planned ahead to maximize your candy potential. If you need any advise on increasing your cuteness quotient, just let us know. We like to help except if you are after the same candy we are. We do not like to share!

 Bend Trip

We went on a fun trip to bend with Person last month. We were very happy to go because we had never been there before. We were less happy when we heard how long the drive was going to be. We really need to invent a faster way to travel or cars that are more fun. Maybe one with a little swimming pool would be good. 

These cups have bunnies on them!

When we finally arrived at the place we were going to stay, Person had to do some boring stuff like unpacking so Elsie and I explored in the cupboards. We found some little cups for us to use. The cups even had bunnies on them. Elsie was very excited about this. Person said that we could have some hot chocolate in them before bed. 

This is us at the Deschutes  River.

 After we ate our lunch, which was boring salad again, we went for a hike along the river. We saw some people kayaking which looked very fun. We wanted to hop in the river too but Person wouldn't let us.

Elsie thinks this is a rabbit hole!

We found some holes in rocks that Elsie thought friends lived in. I'm glad Person found her before she got lost. She should also know that it's not polite to go into someone's house when you don't know them. Not all animals are friendly to little rabbits. I'll need to keep a better eye on her.

There's a good view from this tree!

We climbed a tree when Person wasn't looking. We are now all sticky. Don't tell Person please or she'll make us take a bath.

Us on the trail.

The trail was very beautiful and we had a good time looking at everything. Person let us build a fort out of rocks and we had a chipnic (when you eat chips outside). We didn't want to leave but Person said she had to make dinner. She needs to create a dinner making robot so we can have more fun. 

Will you be our friend?

The next day person took us to the park where we met an otter friend. She was very happy to play with us. I think there should be another otter at the park so she is not lonely. Otters are very friendly animals.

You can do it Elsie!

Then Elsie and I did some rock climbing. Rock climbing is very hard and you have to be careful not to fall. We are getting practice for climbing up the table or into the cupboards so we can get things without having to ask Person. This will be a very useful skill for us. Elsie was scared but I told her it was important for getting more chocolate!

So many pretty flowers!

We wanted to ride in this wagon but person said that it didn't work and that we would need horses. I wonder why the car doesn't need horses.

Can we please go swimming!

Please! We're sure it's not too cold!

We were sad that it was time to go home but person says we can come back someday. Next time we want to rent us a little raft or kayak so we can play in the water. We also want to go to a toy store and get ice cream. We'll need to go back when it is summertime so we can do all these things. Although, playing in the snow would be good too. We really need a faster way of traveling so we can go more exciting places more often. We'll work on figuring something out. It can't be that hard. 

 

Camping Trip!!!

 This August person took us camping at the lake. When she told us we were going, we couldn't stop yelling, we were too excited. Person was not happy about this and says that next time she won't tell us in advance. We know about the calendar though, so once we learn to read better, we can be prepared for what fun things are coming up on our own. Maybe if we write fun things in, person will be confused and take us to the zoo or the park. 

 

Driving is not very interesting for us.

We had to drive a very long way to the lake and were very bored in the car. Person kept telling us to sit still and to stop asking if we were there yet. It wasn't a lot of fun and Elsie dropped her chocolate on the floor and I accidentally pulled Elsie ear and person wouldn't let us put our heads out the window... We thought the three hours would last forever!

Almost there!

When we were finally almost there, person let us look out the front window. The road was very pretty but we just wanted to get to the lake.

Our home for the weekend.

 Once we arrived and had picked out the perfect campsite, we helped person set up the tent by bouncing on the air mattress to make sure it was filled up correctly. Person said this wasn't actually helpful and wanted us to go play but we know she needed our help so we could get to the lake quicker.

Such a big, beautiful lake for us to play in!

After getting the campsite set up (This took a long time. People are very slow.), we all went down to the lake for a picnic lunch. Person had brought some boring healthy salads but she had also remembered chips so it turned out OK.

Playing by the lake.

We went on a hike around the lake in the afternoon riding in person's backpack. This was fun, especially since we found some chocolate in there and helped ourselves to a generous serving.

Having a campfire was exciting!

In the evening we had a big campfire and sang songs and drank hot chocolate. Person didn't bring any marshmallows so that was sad but we did have some sausages to roast over the fire. Next time we will check person's food packing inventory to make sure we have everything we need. Person says marshmallows aren't healthy but we think all fun foods are healthy because they make us happy.

Get up person! We want to go play!

After an exciting night sleeping in the tent, we woke up very early the next morning and wanted to go play. Person was sleepy and cranky when we woke her up but we eventually got her to get up. There was still a lot of boring person stuff for her to do like make breakfast but we eventually got ready to go play!

This is so fun!

The most exciting thing that happened when we were camping is that person let us get in the lake and float around! It was a little scary for Elsie because she was afraid we would fall in but I wasn't afraid. Person may be mean and silly sometimes but she always takes care of us.

We looks so tinny at the big lake.

We were very sad when we had to go home from our camping trip. We don't see why we can't live at the lake forever in the tent and play all day everyday. Person said some silly things about work and responsibilities but we weren't paying attention. Elsie had climbed onto a rock and I joined her. We were planning to refuse to climb down so we couldn't go home. It seemed like a good idea but person just picked us up and put us in the car. We weren't expecting that. Sometimes she's smarter than she seems. Person told us that we can go camping again next summer and we are so excited. We are already planning all the fun things we want to do next year!
