Happy Halloween!

We started the day with Susie in her Halloween pjs. She had FOUR outfits to get through today!  (Boy are we in trouble later!!)

After school we stopped at Maw Maw's house. Fix-It Felix Jr. and our little ghost stopped and played for a few minutes with Maw Maw and Uncle Steve.

Then we went to Gigi's for her church's trunk-or-treat. Emmett loved the decorations here, especially the ghost in this trunk. He kept telling her to "push the button" to make the ghost sing and dance.

Isn't Susie sweet as a little kangaroo?

Pumpkin Update

We are so upset. Someone stole the pumpkins off our front porch. DURING THE DAY. Who does that? They took all four pumpkins, but left one stem right in front of the door. Emmett carried it around saying "Where's my pumpkin?" and woke up crying the next morning for his pumpkin. I hate that they ruined something we had put so much time into. Emmett enjoyed lighting the pumpkins so much!!

Cam and I debated what to do about it, and finally decided on this:

Pumpkin Carving

We carved 4 pumpkins this year! I really wanted to carve Emmett a Mickey Mouse pumpkin, and I really love how it turned out. It just took forever to do it! I chose a crazy face because that's how I'm feeling lately. Susie's pumpkin has a toothless grin, just like hers. Cam's is a result of indecisiveness. Emmett loved lighting them and looking at the faces.

Trunk or Treat!

We had our church trunk or treat. I'm so proud of Emmett and Camron's costumes. They're perfect as Wreck-it Ralph and Fix-it Felix. They had lots of compliments! Emmett had a great time going around to the different cars, playing the games inside, and running around outside with lots of bigger kids!

NC Transportation Museum

We went with our friends to the Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC. It was freezing in the morning, but we had a blast. Emmett had a major meltdown in the middle, but he pulled through and enjoyed seeing all the trains and things.

They had a special deal for Halloween where they had a pumpkin patch, games, trick-or-treating, and hot chocolate for the adults! But what did the boys want to do? Play with the Thomas the Train tables. Seriously? Overall, a great experience, especially considering the fact that we had 2 two-year-olds and 3 babies!

Mommy's Day Off

Last Friday I had the day off. It was WONDERFUL. Emmett was an angel (and Susie is always an angel) and we had SO much fun. We baked cookies, we crafted, we played. He listened so well all day. I so needed this day to just be Mommy for a while. One of my favorite moments was when we were making cookies, and all of the sudden Emmett asked "Where the eggs go?" He was very concerned that he couldn't see the eggs once they were mixed in.

Four Months Old

At Susannah's four month check-up, the doctor said she was doing great and ahead of schedule on everything, and that we could try baby food. So this weekend, she got her first taste of sweet potatoes. She liked them, but needs some practice still! I can't believe how fast time is going by. She's getting really good at rolling over and I'll often find her in her crib the opposite of how I put her down. Her sweet smile always brings a smile to anyone she's around.
