Halloween

It didn't take long for Emma to get into the swing of Halloween. We got her all dressed up and then took her next door. She wasn't quite sure what was going on but after she realized that if she held out her bucket, she would get some candy, there was no turning back. We only took her to five houses but if Emma had been given a say in the matter, we would have hit every house in the neighborhood. She couldn't wait to delve into the candy as soon as we got home and needless to say, it disappeared quite quickly to be rationed out over time. After trick-or-treating, we went to a party at Lisa and Joe's house. Emma had a great time watching the teenagers and eating cookies and other goodies. It is a wonder that she didn't have an upset stomach that night with all the sugar she consumed. Amazingly, we got home and she crashed; we were a little afraid she would be on a sugar high. The next morning she had to check out her trick-or-treat bucket first thing and was disappointed to find it empty. Fortunately, the disappointment passed quickly as it turns out it is a useful vessel to store rocks. Here are a few photos of our ladybug this year. Josh does make a cameo appearance in one photo but the poor little man was without a costume and was left home for the trick-or-treat portion of the evening. I can't wait until next year!



Candy! Checking out her loot!
The morning after!
