Here is a photo of my handsome prince on Halloween. Aren't their costumes great? And that horse....a strong and noble looking one indeed!
I thought we could slip one past Emma and just carve the boys pumpkins this year...aparantly not. Emma decided on Halloween night that we should "Cut my pumpkin". She looks so serious about it, too!
Steve had clients in on Halloween this year, so he had to be a "brave one" and join in on the fun at work. Usually, he avoids it like the plague. Not his thing. The idea his group of teams came up with was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs...and guess who got to be the Handsome Prince?? Doesn't he look great?
The boys dressed as Star Wars characters and since I wasn't really planning on having Emma trick or treat, but decided on it at the last minute, we borrowed a costume from my sister and Emma went as a duck. I originally thought Emma wouldn't make it too far, as it is usually so cold, but it was in the 60's yesterday, so she made it down our long street and all the way around the other side of the block...which took us about an hour and a half. She was quite the trooper, especially considering she did not nap yesterday. She spent two hours singing and rocking her panda instead of sleeping!
Here are the totals:
4 Milky Ways, 1 Take 5, 1 100 Grand, 9 Kit Kats, 8 Smarties, 7 Miscellaneous Chocolates, 4 Fruit Snacks, 4 Skittles, 8 Twix Bars, 3 Milk Duds, 1 Starburst, 2 Laffy Taffies, 3 Licorices, 2 Almond Joys, 3 bags of Pretzels, 22 Suckers, 5 Whoppers, 2 High School Musical Gummies, 4 3 Musketeers, 3 PB Kisses, 3 Sour Patch Candies, 19 Tootsie Rolls, 4 Crunch Bars, 4 Jolly Ranchers, 8 PB Cups, 5 Butterfingers, 5 Bubble Gums, 5 Snickers, 1 Nerds, 1 Dots, 1 Hannah Montanna Candy Bracelet, 25 M&M's, 3 erasers, 3 pencils, 1 bag of Cheetohs, 1 bag of Sunchips, 1 popcorn ball, 1 Now & Later, 2 boxes of Candy Sticks, 1 Easter Egg filled with junk (who gives out Easter Eggs on Halloween) and 2 used Mc Donald's toys (odd??)
For a grand total of 193 treats for the Fidlins!!
Happy Halloween!!
We carved pumpkins on Sunday with the kids. Of course, the boys wanted to do Star Wars characters...so they searched online for some ideas and here's what we came up with. Darth Vader and Yoda...not too bad, eh?? We only carved two pumpkins, as Emma's pumpkin was so small, we wouldn't have been able to carve it too well. Emma had fun helping pick the seeds out, which we roasted afterward. Yum!!
I posted photos of my handsome boys a couple of weeks ago....and here is the youngest of those handsome guys. Caleb joined Cub Scouts this year and boy is he excited to wear the uniform. Go figure, the child never likes to dress up. Jeans and a t-shirt is the dressiest this boy will get....except for Cub Scouts. Maybe he'll be a police officer someday?
Emma loves to sing. She often spends the first 20-30 minutes of her naptime singing songs to herself or anyone else that will listen. Here is a little video clip of her singing away in the bathtub. She seems to have a love of music. Maybe she'll be a future girls choir member...or maybe she'll use the piano that Steve worked so hard to re-finish and is currently just collecting dust in our dining room.
