Happy Halloween

This year we celebrated Halloween three days in a row! Emma goes to Preschool every Wednesday so she had a Halloween party at school where all the kids dressed up and did fun Halloween things. When I was getting Emma ready for school she did not want to wear her Halloween costume. I did everything I could to try and get her to dress up but she was insistent on wearing her blue dress with white hearts. So she went to school wearing her blue dress with white hearts instead of her princess costume. When she got to school and saw all the other little girls dressed as princesses she wanted to wear her princess costume too! Luckily we had put her Aeriel dress in her school bag and she was able to put it on over her blue dress with white hearts.

Here is Princess Emma with her preschool teacher Miss Suzanne (who is not really a witch)!

On Thursday we spent the day at Ethan's Kindergarten class helping out with his class Halloween Party. Ethan wanted to be Mater again this year (which was fine with me) and Emma had no problem putting on her Minnie Mouse dress that morning before the party! I dressed Eliza in Ethan's old devil costume because I knew she would terrorize his classroom!



Here is Ethan with his Kindergarten teacher "Dr. Shaw"!

On Friday, Micah's sister Natalie invited us to her house for a Halloween party. The kids went trick or treating in their neighborhood and we ate yummy food at her house. We had to leave early because Emma had decided earlier that day to chew and swallow a whole pack of bubblegum. She threw up pieces of chewed gum.

Here are Minnie Mouse "Emma" and Tinkerbell "Eliza" posing with their candy.

That's so funny about Emma not wanting to wear a costume to school! Good thinking to pack the Ariel costume anyway.

I can relate with the bubble gum thing. Last Christmas when Liv was only six months old, one of the kids passed her a big huge bubble gum candy cane while we were driving to grandma's house. We had no idea she even had it, but she swallowed most of it. When we got out of the car and she puked bubble gum everywhere! She had the worst diapers that night and the next day, too. Gross, I know. Sorry!

Emma eating all that gum reminds me of how Ethan would get gum for his potty training. I was at my mom and dad's place and saw one of his little poops in the toilet with many pieces of chewed up gum throughout it.

I miss you, Lora. I need to call you. I loved reading about your Halloween. Don't you love the days that you get to leave early for those kind of occasions. They're not so fun. Anyway, I loved reading your Halloween post.
