Halloween

I'm glad that I have kids for a lot of reasons. One of those reasons is because they have really revived Halloween for me. Since about 6th grade, Halloween has been my least favorite holiday. Pretty bah humbug, I know. I guess that was when I hit the stage of being too old to trick or treat but not having anything else very fun to do on Halloween. But having kids has made it fun again. I have fun doing things as a mom: finding them costumes, going to the pumpkin patch and picking our own pumpkins, Halloween parties, etc. This year we went to our first ever Trunk or Treat and had a great time. Here we are in our costumes. Mini was a fairy princess or just a princess, depending on whether or not she was in the mood for her wings. Emmy was a unicorn. I wore my 9th grade cheer outfit and Adam wore my 9th grade cheer sweater and warm-ups. (We actually had some people ask if we were cheerleaders together!)

This is not a great picture, but look at that amazing sunset!

We had a Music Makers Halloween party.

One of our activities was wrapping the kids in toilet paper to be mummies

Not related at all to Halloween, but here's a video of Mini doing a cartwheel--not bad for three years old! And the next video is of Emmy. She's so funny. She's conditioned to say "cheese" whenever I point the camera at her. I love how she says marshmallow ("mallow") and water and she says them both on this video.
