Halloween!

We had so many festivities for Halloween this year! The weekend started with a parade of costumes at school for the girls. It always amazes me when we get there and the teachers have actually succeeded in getting fifteen toddlers into their Halloween costumes. All of the kids looked so cute and Emerson had a blast!


Ready for school on Halloween morning!

Sydney and Ya-ya. Poor thing was ready for a nap!


Okay, mom and dad - I'm done!

After the school parade, and a quick nap for both of the girls in the car, we headed home to the party in the cul-de-sac. In the past we've ordered pizza with all the neighbors, but this year everyone brought an appetizer or dessert and there were so many yummy choices. We brought grape jelly meatballs, Mr. H made great chili, the Kies made some awesome guacamole and there were platters of cheese, crackers and Chic-fil-A nuggets, along with brownies, cookies, cupcakes and CANDY! Kelly, our neighbor who works for Miller lite, provided two kegs, one that was Yuengling.


Party in the cul-de-sac!






Think this will make it into the Panthers' ROAR magazine?

Will took Emerson trick or treating in the wagon, with all of the kids from our street, while I stayed in the cul-de-sac with Sydney and most of the other moms. He said that she loved it. They would get to a house and she would run up to the door giggling, say trick or treat and then run back to the wagon giggling. They ended up going to a lot more houses then planned since she was having such a good time and she even got to see one of her teachers from school.


Ready for trick or treating!






Kevin, Mary and Yoda (aka Henry) stopped by.


Partying is hard work!

We concluded the weekend by having Emerson's playgroup over for pizza and cupcakes. It was fun seeing everyone in their Halloween costumes!








How cute!

Pumpkin Patch!

October has been a busy, busy month. We didn't make it to the pumpkin patch until the weekend before Halloween, but late is better then never! Emerson enjoyed riding the tractor to the patch and picking out her own pumpkin this year. And of course she had to pick one out for Sydney too!






Sweet Sydney!
