Upside down and backwards
She saw another kid do this and had to try. That girl's mom apologized profusely, saying that the girl's older brother taught her to go down slides headfirst. Kids these days!

Memory lane
At the pumpkin patch, the family had a huge collection of old farm machines. I don't have any photos that do the place justice, but it was a big setup, with lots of fun and very beautiful play spaces for kids, plus a ton of these old machines that you can walk up to and touch. It was heaven for Charlie and Paul. And Sylvia :) And you know what, we didn't even buy a pumpkin! But we did get doughnuts. Oh, the doughnuts ...
How farmers have fun
This amazing thing was at the pumpkin patch we went to tonight. It's full of CORN.

Mom draws Sylvia
I don't have to tell you how many caveats came with this drawing (Mom, the most humble artist I have ever, ever met). And yet here it is, wonderful. Thank you, Mom!

Pink?
It's red. For the Chiefs. But it really looks pink. I asked Sylvia the color and she confidently said, "Green!"

Evening walk
If you walk to get burgers and fries, the calories are burned before you get there and therefore you can also share a chocolate shake. Life lessons.

She loved it. Of course.

Favorites
Sylvia is learning what it means to have a favorite of something: "oh, my fayv-wit!" is becoming a common phrase on our house. She's also learning to say "I wuv you" and "I wuv it!" with great enthusiasm.
Tonight she picked up an al-anon book of daily meditations and perused it quietly, talking softly to herself. I heard her say, "oh, I wuv dis part."

Faux camping
Our friends invited us to cook out at their campsite this weekend. Then we went home and slept in our own comfy beds. Win win!

Last few hot days
At the Loose Park spray-ground. Sylvia doesn't really like getting sprayed with water, so mostly we sit on this bench and eat snacks.
Mardi Gras beads make any outfit better
Black sundress, brown sandals, pink and purple socks (two on one foot, one on the other), plus beads. Done.
