Halloween 2008

By Kerry -
Halloween was loads of fun but we definitely tried to do too much in one day. To start with, we went to the Halloween Parade at the girls' school. Addison was upset and didn't want to walk with everyone. It turns out that she thought Papa had left her (he got there early to help out the class) and she was upset that she was left at school without him... not knowing that Papa, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa were waiting with all the other parents to see her. Poor girl probably thought she was going to have to sleep at the school overnight!

Emme on the other hand had a blast. I have been trying to get her into her costume for over a week as "practice" but she refused each time. Her teacher, Miss Kamila, was able to do it the very first try... ahhhh, the power of a talented teacher and a little bit more peer pressure. Her entire class was ADORABLE!!!!

After the parade we all went home where Addison and Emme were able to decorate their pumpkins from school. After relaxing and getting Addison happy again, we went trick or treating at the local mall. Addison didn't understand the concept at first, but got the hang of it after the second or third person gave her candy for just saying three simple words. I quickly made sure that there were two additional BIG words that she needed to say each time as well. I have to say though, she is just such a polite and sweet young child that she almost always remembers to say thank you.

Below are just a few pictures from the day. P.S. Both girls went as ladybugs!

She was triple-dog-dared

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Pappy = Pee-Paw

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
