Halloween

I hope you all had a fun Halloween!  We sure did!  Emma got a goody bag at school, which she loved.  There's a little pumpkin toy in it that she's been carrying around (and sleeping with!) ever since.

That evening we went to the Harvest Hoedown at our church.  I discovered on the way there that the battery on our camera was completely dead!  So frustrating!  At least Daniel had his iPhone, so we were able to get a few pictures.  I don't have them on the computer yet, sorry.  We did the cake walk first, and Emma won!  She got to pick out her cake.  Despite Daddy encouraging her to select the pumpkin swirl cheesecake, she chose the little pumpkin shaped cake with Mr. Potato head embellishments.  Then we went upstairs to the games.  Fortunately, they have a little kid room that Emma enjoyed.  She did the bean bag toss, basketball toss, bounce house, hula hoop toss, lasso toss, and pumpkin sweep.  Andrew was not a fan of any of it, except the pumpkin sweep.  I think he was pretty overwhelmed with it all!  After Emma did the maze/slide twice (once with Daddy and once by herself), we decided to head home and go trick-r-treating at a few houses on our block.  Then we asked Emma if she wanted to hand out any candy, and she said yes, so we picked out a few things that the kids can't eat (like Jaw breakers).  We only had a couple kids come by since it was starting to get late, but fortunately, the first thing to go was the whistle that Emma got a church!  Woo hoo!!  Sorry to the parents of the child that got that!
