Happy Halloween!

Following the storm, we weren't sure what would happen with Halloween. Luckily our area was spared major flooding or damage and so Halloween went on!

Emma was very excited for Halloween. We've been counting down to it all month. She decided in early September that she wanted to be a princess. Since we already have princess dress up clothes, we were set, even if her mind changed from Cinderella. Early in October, she decided she wanted to be a fairy princess. We already have wings for dress up! Easiest Halloween EVER! :)

For Mia's first Halloween, she was a skeleton whose bones glowed in the dark! So adorable!

Our friends, Kyle and Mary came over for dinner and then manned our house so that all 4 of us could go trick or treating. We ended up being out for about 30 minutes (it was cold and Emma wasn't wearing a jacket, it started sprinkling, and Emma's basket was full) before we came back inside. Emma was adorable! She was very excited to go out and knew to say "Trick or Treat!" and to follow it up with "Thank you!" At first, she wanted Kurt to go with her to the doors. After a couple doors, she said, "It's OK Daddy, I'll go by myself." And later, "You wait here, I'll go all by myself."  Mia had fun being out in her stroller and seeing all the activity.

When we came inside, Kurt showed Emma how to sort out her loot. As soon as they were finished, she offered both of us some. Such a sweet girl!

Kurt then went out on our steps with Kyle and Mary and Emma had fun being in and out handing out candy with them for quite a while.

The previous weekend, Kurt and I went to a friend's Halloween party. I dressed as "The Cloud," and Kurt dressed as "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Pictures coming soon!
