Trick-or-Treating

I'm going to be honest, by the time we actually got to Halloween this year, I'm a little burnt out. Maybe that has more to do with the fact that I'm still not sleeping a lot more than my holiday-spirit, but I was REALLY hoping it was more fun than last year. Thankfully it was!

We started out the day my glitter painting our tiny pumpkins. Nothing says Halloween like pink glitter pumkins! For your information there is a dog, a cat, and a dolphin on the bigger pumpkin. Of course, you could tell that. I was just making sure. They all tend to look the same.

We headed over to Megan and Keith's for the festivities. We started out at the neighboor's Halloween party/carnival. They have it set up so cute every year and all the kids come over to play games, earn prizes, and get thier face painted. Emmy was VERY in to earning token this year. Since Beckett wasn't having the best day, he opted for his skeleton costume and some snuggles. We'll count next year as his "first" trick or treating event. We headed out and Abby and Emmy couldn't wait to race and see who could ring the doorbell first. Emmy kept just inviting herself into people's houses and into the candy bowls. She also would say "To the next house!!!" everytime they would come back from the door.

There were a few scary things too. One how she said was REALLY scary. THis is her making her scary face in front of the house. She just sat there and stared at it for a long time quietly.

There was also a house that had a "gorilla" sitting by the front door. The kids came up and the "Gorilla" would jump out and scare them. Thankfully, the gorilla was smart enough NOT to jump out at the little girls or we might've had major issues, but it still made a BIG impression on Emmy. After that, she told EVERYONE she met, people at the door she was getting candy from, the nighboors, me, about the gorilla and about how scary it and the other "scary" house she saw was. This video doesn't really do justice to JUST how empatic she was about the gorilla, but at least she can tell you in her own words.

I'm officially DONE with Halloween. It was a fun October but I'm glad we're done =)
