HAPPY HALLOWEEN




Halloween was a fun night, filled with pumpkin guts, candy, family and lots and LOTS of walking. It's nice being in a neighborhood. We actually had about 80 kids come to our house. Of course we were gone for a little while, but that is still about 70 more than we had last year in our condo.
Emmi was Annie this year. "Isn't her costume cute!" She has cute pantaloons under the dress too. After sewing her Herbie costume last year (See the picture below), I wasn't willing to test my sewing limits any more, so I ordered it from a lady off Ebay. Awww, the wonders of the world wide web.


So it was a fun Halloween. Emmi enjoyed getting to trick or treat in our own neighborhood and I enjoyed watching her have the time of her life. Even carving pumpkins and digging out the "pumpkin snot", as Emmi calls it, was fun. Plus the best part of carving pumpkins is getting to roast the pumpkin seeds... I can smell them coooking right now.... YUMMY! Sometimes, being a parent is just like being a kid again, and Halloween is definitely one of those times.

Happy Halloween everyone!
