Goings-On

I know, I know, it's been a looooooooooong time since I last posted. So let me show you a few things we've been up to in the past several weeks.

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit last month and we had ourselves a really good time.

Learned how to self pony braid my hair.

Tons and tons of ice skating this winter. Lessons at Johnny's Ice House (where our beloved Blackhawks practice) has us skating all over the city....

... And the suburbs with my old buddy Jake.

And check out how good Mae is getting at spinning, after just a few weeks of lessons. Go on with your bad self, Mabel!

We've got some naked blow-drying going on.

And one more thing I'm doing these days... getting older.

Bat Girl Strikes Again

So Halloween was fun this year. We had a really big party at school that mom came to and then we had a parade and got to walk around and show other classrooms our costumes. Here's me with my bestie, Nadia.

Then we went out to Nana's and I painted a mask on my face and got serious about trick or treating. My cousin Sophie was a really spooky looking witch and Eli was, well, a fox.

And when it comes to jaguars, I got to hang with the most loveable jaguar of them all, Miss Mae.

Actually, Halloween kicked off a couple weeks ago. See, we were going to Jake's house and our moms and since Mae and I had just gotten our costumes we really wanted to wear them, so our moms and dads said what the heck and we all wore them. 

And you should probably be careful when the Dark Knight and Batgirl are around.

Since we were dressed up we decided to hit up the local pumpkin patch and a playground by Jake's house, which was a lot of fun.

And these two were dressed up as Mom and Pax, best costumes ever.

Top O' The Morning

So it was St. Paddy's Day last weekend and we definitely did it up. First, we went to Nana's for an Irish breakfast. This is one of Nana's favorite days of the year and not just because it's named after my Dad.

So I showed up in my festive hat that I made at school for the occasion.

And did I say Irish breakfast? That's a bit of a stretch... but there were green sprinkles on the donuts.

Then later in the day we headed over to Jake's house for some corn beef and cabbage.

And then it was story time. First I did a little reading by myself with the seat next to me vacant.

Then Jake showed up and I read his favorite Batman book to him.

And then a little later we got a little closer. Seeing as this is Jake's basement, our moms laughed about how you could fast forward 12-13 years and this would be really funny. Dad's face got quite serious and he said something about that being not "really funny" at all.

Kisses, Coasters & Cuddling

Had some fun stuff going on lately. I won't bore you with a lot of up-front banter, let's just get right into it.

I went to see my boyfriend, Jake, and as you'll see, he made a move on me. This was the first time he tried to kiss me and obviously I was taken off guard a bit, but all in all, I'd say our first kiss was a success.
Then we went to the playroom in Jake's house and I got to ride a roller coaster. For any of you who have been to Six Flags, it was kind of like being on the American Eagle.

And this is my new friend, we're cuddling buddies.
