For Halloween this year, I was several different princesses

Minnie Mouse dressed up, too! I don't think she got the memo that we were all supposed to dress up as princesses. Silly Minnie!


I dressed as Ariel for the dance party on the pool deck.

I'm not sure why I changed out of my Ariel costume when I decided to take pictures with Ariel, but I did.

Then it was off to story time at the kids' club. We also did a little wiggle. Mommy thinks my dancing is really cute. She also thinks my "deer in headlights" impression is cute.

For photos with Mickey and Pluto that night, I dressed up as Sleeping Beauty. Mommy and daddy joke that I don't sleep anywhere near enough to wear this costume. I like late bedtimes, you know. But that's another story for another day.

OMG OMG OMG

It's TODAY! I'm leaving on my Disney Cruise TODAY!

Disney characters, here I come! Princesses, I'm looking at you. I'm even dressed for the part! I'm ready to be inducted into the brainwashing hall of fame after a week of Disney Disney Disney! Wish mommy and daddy luck.

Another crafty hiding place from the ever-elusive Caroline

I bet you can't find me!

When you're me, it's always birthday o'clock

Today I celebrated with gourmet churros!

Why yes, I AM a little cookie monster

Thank you for noticing. And accommodating.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

I love this dog. Can you tell where I am for dinner again?

Did I forget to mention my sunglasses?

Yes, I need those. NEED.

The definition of "ready"

I have my tutu and a rhinestone shirt. Pink shiny sandles. My purse. My rings are on. My hair is in a clean ponytail with a pink puff. My pink necklace is on. I am ready. Let's go. I don't care where we go, but I insist that they have horses there for me to ride.

Candle-topped cookies too?!

Oh, stop it. This is too much. (Psst: don't stop. I love it.)

I had a nice talk with Susan after her photo shoot and camera appearance

We had a lovely conversation. I told her that I loved her on Top Chef Masters. We all love watching that show. She and her business partner, Mary Sue Miliken, are fantastic! We sometimes see them at the Border Grill truck on special occasions, such as on Earth Day when we went to the California Science Center downtown.

Susan had the kitchen bring me some strawberries as a special treat. That was very nice of her!

I ordered a burger

I'm not a particularly big fan of burgers, but I have a book called "Yummy Yucky" that starts with "spaghetti is yummy, worms are yucky..." and also proclaims "burgers are yummy; boogers are yucky!" -- so now I love to order burgers. I call them boogers because I think it's funny. It's rare that I eat any portion of them. Thankfully, daddy likes burgers. And when Scott is here, he eats them too. That dude lives on burgers. With extra fries. He lets me dip his fries in ketchup for him and shove them into his mouth.

I enjoyed the pickles, though!

Daddy's steak sandwich was a winner

I helped myself to his fries.

Purple potatoes?

I like purple. But I'm not so sure about purple food...

I tried them, but it turns out I just really, really don't like potatoes unless they're french fried. Mommy can't blame me - she agrees.

Ever the fan of little food, these finger-sized appetizers did not disappoint

Oh. My. YUM.

Angry eggs make me happy

I'm not sure why Susan calls these angry eggs. They made mommy and daddy happy! They were *delicious*. Or so they said. There was a little bit of a kick to this dish, so they didn't share with me. Next time.

Here is some good food

We went to Susan Feniger's STREET. Ever the celebrity chef, a camera crew, photographer and others were at the restaurant taking pictures of Susan. We had a front row seat!

I AM NOT FOOD

Dear wanna-be vampire in my class: I am not food. Don't bite me. My mommy is an attorney, and she is very protective of me. She will CRUSH you if you so much as look at me sideways again. Sincerely, Caroline.

I told you I love shoes

I got these new ones and insisted on wearing them to bed. Aren't they pretty?! Mommy bought them because (1) they're beautiful; and (2) the brand is Nina. Ha!

I really, really love shoes

I'll even try on Uggs at Costco and do a little dance to see if they are sufficiently comfortable to buy. These were not. NEXT!

Potty training is hard work!

But I helped mommy potty train my pig. She was tired of changing her diapers. She kept pooping at inopportune times, like right when we are about to leave the house.

I warned you that I was a climber!

I'll climb anything. Or anyone.

Only a few more weeks until I go on my first Disney cruise!

I'll say hi to this guy for you.

Proper girls always hold their pinky up

Even when eating fried chicken.

Isn't this how *everyone* sleeps on a pillow?

Mommy has no idea how this could be comfortable.

Here are the other reasons...

Crostini with truffled mascarpone cheese. YUM. I love dipping the mini crostini with my mini fingers into the mini truffled cheese spread!

A perfectly cooked divers scallop topped with a quail egg. I ate mommy's entire scallop, and both mommy's and daddy's quail eggs. Mommy and I went that weekend to get me some quail eggs. They are so cute and so delicious! Just proves my theory that little food tastes better.

The kids menu mac and cheese. No silly cheese sauce made from a packet - this is the real stuff! The good stuff.

Sweet corn ravioli with roasted brussel sprouts, topped with a butter-sage sauce. WOW.

Mommy said this prime rib knocks the socks off of Lawry's. The potatoes were really interesting too - crunchy on the outside and smooth and delicious on the inside. Mommy ate the outside for me so I could enjoy the smooth mashed potato inside.

I have a new favorite restaurant: Gordon Ramsay at the New London Hotel in West Hollywood

I'll give you one guess why it's my new favorite.

Excuse me, baba, but did I say you could leave?

No. No, I didn't. Let's try this again.

See how fast I scoot?!

Too fast for the lens! Notice I also won't take my eyes off of myself as I scoot. My mommy says you would stare at yourself in the mirror too if you were as pretty as me.

Instructions are for chumps -- I'll *make* this fit!

I helped daddy put together my new scooter. He'll agree that I did most of the hard work. You're welcome, daddy!

Orange you glad I'm so smiley?

LOL!

I am an experienced and discerning Farmers Market shopper

First, I know you sample everything, THEN decide what to buy. Second, I know you sample by poking a toothpick through a piece of fruit. I love stabbing the fruit with my sword!

OCTOBER! Finally!

I am already packed and ready to go on my Disney cruise!
