Halloween Carnival

The Halloween Carnival was fun for kids, but needed adult beverages to help pass the time! Basically, you walk your child(ren) around and wait in long lines to play games. The prizes were yucky plastic toys that "magically" disappeared by the time we got home. Emmett was especially good at throwing spiders thru a pumpkin cutout. He made all but one! The lady running the game was pretty impressed, as was the proud pappa! At least there was no wind or weather to deal with. Today it is so windy that Jolene and I are staying home for trick-or-treating. Emmett and Luke are going to walk around for a block or so and then call it a night.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

15 weeks and counting...

Jolene is growing like crazy these days. Holding her head up, wanting to sit/stand all the time and soon we start cereal! Her first Halloween will be pretty uneventful, but the pictures will be
cute.

Halloween eve

Last night, Luke, Emmett and I carved pumpkins for the first time. Emmett did not like getting his hands dirty and wound up being scared of the lit up pumpkin. I did not realize that he was going to be scared of the pumpkins, hence the scarier looking of the two. Emmett liked putting stickers on the pumpkin the most. He is pretty proud of his creation. We had a great time and the toasted seeds turned out delicious!

Today, we went over to Darby and Cooper's house for a Halloween tea party. It was pretty cute and they had sandwiches cut into ghosts and pumpkins. I think Emmett loved the chocolate cupcakes the best. It was a fun idea and a great nap maker(those kids play hard when they get together!). Emmett is out like a light and resting up for the Halloween carnival at the rec center tonight.
