The ball shot

 

They finally got the ball shot at the office.

But really, this is too easy.

Fall swimming

We’ve just started a two week course at an indoor swim school. We arrived early and watched the end of the class before us.

The bell rings and it’s own turn, we’re ready to go!

It was very odd that we can only see ourselves in the window from this side… but Mum and Papi promised us they were there the whole time.

Pumpkin picking at Dewberry Farms

Our friends Murray and Kai invited us to pumpkin picking at Dewberry Farms.

We rode tractors.

Played in the playground

and on the big fort.

Met some chicks

and singing chickens.

Said hi to the ponies

and worked on our lassoing skills (I’m so at home in Texas)

Since we were there for the fall festival we did check out some of the seasonal attractions.

Such as the pumpkin house full of amazing carved pumpkins!

We jumped on the Dewberry Express

and choo chooed passed the pumpkin patch.

But we were so busy doing all the other fun stuff at Dewberry Farms we ended up leaving without a pumpkin!  Maybe we could go back new weekend?

It was a yet another steamy hot Texas day – check out what pumpkin picking in Oregon looked like: 2012 and 2013, beanies, jackets and gloves!!

 

 

Mum always has a plan B

We were planning on filming a dance video on the hill today, but it was raining and the venue was outdoors.  So as we pulled into the carpark with the rain pouring down, Mum said, “tengo un plan B” and we said “Vamanos!!”

We went up to Katy Mills for lunch.

A carousel ride.

And a run around the playground.

Not a bad Plan B.

 

Photos from office

Mum and Papi love it when during the day they get photo updates of me doing cool stuff at my office.  Such as,

Painting my reflection.

Sewing.

Playing outside on the slide.

But they are yet to get a clear photo of me in the gym.  We go to the gym every day but I don’t stay still long enough for a good shot!

Polystyrene picking and pick up

We picked a piece of polystyrene apart in the car today. Mum had asked us to refrain from such an activity but it was just too satisfying to stop.

So when we got home Mum gave us a plastic bag and ordered us to pick up all the pieces.

“No Rafa! You’re just a little boy so you have to pick up all the little pieces. I’ll pick up the big pieces.”

Hall monitor

What’s the password?

Haaaarrr

yah!

huh!

Okay, you may pass.

Dentist day

I’ve been waiting a whole six months to come back to Lathrop Dental so I didn’t waste a single second when we arrived in arranging myself a new pair of Elsa gloves and jumping aboard my rocket ship.

Lucy and I got to lie back and watch a Dr McStuffins episode.  Ahh, what a relaxing morning.

Meanwhile in the room next door, Rafa was checking out all the cool dentist tools.

And was a champion astronaut in his very own rocket ship.

He also got to test run the new shark chair (all three of those big fish have a good set of pearly whites!)

Dr Lathrop gave my smile a 10 out of 10 too!

We were at Lathrop Dental Center on FM1463 Katy.

My favourite pants

For the first day of autumn I thought I’d pull on my favourite pants.

But I think they shrunk over summer.

Sunday sundae

I had some princess friends over to play today.

To mark the last day of summer, our princess feast was sundaes made with frozen yoghurt, fruit and my favourite ingredient, rainbow sprinkles.
