What.A.Week.

I just wanted to share a few pictures from last week. With Halloween and my birthday, it was crazy busy! As you may already know, I was a pirate for Halloween...

...along with my brother, sister and mom (Dad doesn't like to dress up- you can blame my mom for that!).

 Our first fun event was going to the Natural History Museum in Brewster, MA. They had all kinds of fun craft activities for us to make and do a little trick or treating. My friend Taylor came with to help me make some crafts. Here we are making spooky trees out of paper bags.

Next, we carved our pumpkins. Mom and Dad had to do most of the work because Liam and Addy did not like to get their hands goopy in the pumpkin! I don't mind so much- I love the squishiness! I chose to have my pumpkin carved into a cat. Looks good in the dark!

We figured every good pirate needs a ship, so we made one out of my wheelchair. First mom made a mast from a rug roll she got from a local rug store. Then she wrapped a black shirt around it along with some skulls. The one on top had flashing eyes! Finally, she made a ship out of cardboard. She spray painted it brown and used electrical tape to make the lines. The last touch were some skull lights around the front.

  

I was so excited to ride in the school parade. Everyone thought my ship was so cool! When I went to my first grade class, all of the kids came to look at my ship!

After school we got to go trick-or-treating with our friends Corey and Alana.We got so much candy and lots of people said my costume was the best they had seen all night!

On Friday, November 2nd, we celebrated my 7th birthday! I went to school and got a present from a special new friend who had just met me two days before. She is a student in my school. That night we had some chocolate pudding and whipped cream for dessert after singing Happy Birthday!

On Saturday was my big 7th Birthday Party! Mom was in her birthday planning mode, so Taylor came early to help out! We had so much fun! We played all kinds of game with a parachute and another called Pin the Hat on Kai! But the best part was Trevor the Juggler! He juggled all kinds of crazy things...

 Like Chickens!

My friends got to throw some balls to Trevor and help out with the show. 

After the juggling we sang happy birthday to me and had cupcakes!

Then we went inside and played freeze dance. I got to control when the music stopped and started with a special switch, then I let all my friends have a turn. We opened presents and I got all kinds of fun things: clothes, books, gift cards for iPad apps, AquaDoddle, a hammock, remote control car and a thing that makes a rainbow on my wall!
 Taylor stayed to hang out with me after the party! I love her!

Mom says our "photographer" (friend Liz) has most of the good pics, so we'll post more when we get them!
