One
of the funniest things that Vivi said this month was “Fine for you, not fine
for me!!” We were taking about something
at dinner and whatever I proposed, she didn’t like. I said it would be fine, and then she said “Fine
for you, not fine for me!!” It was so
funny that she would be able to express that idea in such a succinct way. She used it again in another conversation,
but that time she said, “Good for you, not good for me!”
Vivi
was still my super-duper garden helper when it came time to pick our
pumpkins. We had a few dozen of them
growing in our little patch! After I
pulled them or cut them free from the patch, Vivi carried them over to the
picnic table. She remembered that we had
stacked all of our pumpkins there last year, so she felt like we needed to do
it that way again. She put some gloves
on, like me, and helped me move most of the pumpkins and then she and Ryder
arranged them. A few days later, she
helped me move most of them to decorate the steps and front porch.
Since
there were a few Halloween events, Vivi had a few different costumes. The first event was Trunk or Treat at Ryder’s
school, and both she and Ryder dressed up as skeletons in the skeleton PJ’s. Then Vivi had two Halloween parties and
parades at school, so on day one she was a princess in purple and on day 2 she
was new She-ra. She liked the parties
and parades, but for some reason she didn’t want to to the donut game, which
she had told me in advance. I’m not sure
why she didn’t like that game, since she does like donuts, but both days she
was not interested in participating.
On
Halloween, Vivi wore her She-ra costume.
It was actually very warm that evening, so she didn’t need too much
extra clothing over or under her costume.
She started out with a jacket, but that came off super quick. Now that Vivi knows what candy she likes, she
was sure to get those kinds when possible.
She came home with a ton of M&M’s and Hersheys. As always, once we got to the end of our
route, we pulled the kids home in the wagon.
Vivi had already been riding in the wagon on and off; she seems to love
that part! When we got home, all the
candy was dumped out and sorted, then a few pieces were eaten before we got
ready for bed.
