Halloween

Where has the time gone? I know it's November already and the holidays are just around the corner - literally! I'm just not ready.

I wanted to post some Halloween pictures of Emily as Minnie Mouse. She had school on Halloween and everyone wore their costume. There were plenty of princesses and super heros. All the parents gathered in the parish great hall to see the parade of students in their costumes and to give out candy. I had my bowl ready. The 4's and 3's went first and they were cool. Then the 2's came in and a few of them were crying including Emily, who was scared. Once she saw me she ran to me and would not let me go! Poor thing! All the cameras and strangers scared her. I had to walk with her to finish trick-or-treating. She calmed down a bit but then I had to leave her once we got to her room. Oh I was a wreck the rest of the morning!

Our evening of trick-or-treating went much better. Emily actually said something like, "tricky tree" at each door. Lucky for us she doesn't eat hardly any candy except for plain M&Ms. I'd say our Halloween was spooky and fun!!
