Halloween 2009
Halloween Parties!
Emmeline had a Halloween Party @ day care on Friday, October 30th. They wanted them to wear a costume, so she went as a witch (it was easier to go to the potty in than her other costume for trick-or-treating). The witch costume was a "left over" of Sophie's. Emme was so cute & loved the costume, epecially the witch hat. She did NOT want to take it off and had a fit to sleep in it.

Treat Bags (bowls) & Black Cat cupcakes for Emmeline's class. Public school doesn't allow parties for kids anymore, so Sophie didn't have one at school, like we used, to way back when I was in elementary school....I swear, times have changed and not for the better in some ways.
So, my friend Sherry & I hosted a party for the kids at her house on Friday night. Everyone had a great time, even those that came that didn't have kids. We had chili, cornbread muffins, "mummy" dogs, and an assortment of snacks & appetizers. To our surprise, gracious friends of ours made a hug pot vension stew, & another family brought oysters. We had a "graveyard hunt' in the edge of the woods. They had a trail back to a field through the woods and we set up tombstones, lanters, candles & spider webs. We threw out glow-in-the-dark skeletons, skulls, skeleton hands, bugs, critters, eyeballs, and rats....the kids were given flashlights & they searched to see who could collect the most in the dark....they loved it! Then they did the pinata & hay ride....adults & kids loaded up in the trailer & we were pulled through the woods & fields on their farm...then those daddies & adult men who did not go on the hay ride, hid in the woods at the end & jumped out and scared us....I about wet my pants, but it made for a great laugh!

Sophie was a black princess cat.
Emme a pumpkin.Am-ma (my mom) & Ammie (Ron's mom) went with us. First we had to make the required stops at our grandparents (the kid's great-grandparents) & my great-aunts for the special treats. Then we went to Erika's (our babysitter) parents neighborhood for more trick-or-treating. Erika's dad drove us in the back of his truck. Emmeline wouldn't let Shane, Erika's boyfriend, go. It was, "My Shane" all night long. The girls really enjoyed it. With Erika & Shane's helped I got to enjoy watching Sophie & Emmeline enjoy trick-or-treating....Sophie sacked out on the way home Emme called for her "Shane" or would ask, "Where my Shane go?" all the way home.

Pumpkin Carving
We had a great time carving the pumpkin. When daddy (Ron) got home from work the girls met him in the yard, all excited about carving the pumpkin. Sophie wanted a cute happy face - nothing scary, so I drew out a face and we got started.
Emmeline did NOT like how the "guts" felt - she has texture issues like momma (me). Sophie, on the other hand, got used to the funny feeling of it, jumped right in and took over the "gut" removal.
Since it was so hot that day, we scratched the idea of roasting hot dogs in the fire pit & we made "mummy" dogs instead.
When 2 little girls get quite on a Saturday morning, this is what you may find, like I did.
Sophie lost her 2nd Tooth! Sept. 21, 2009
EMMELINE TURNED 2 - SEPT 10, 2009
My baby turned 2 on Sept. 10. We celebrated with family at Am-ma & Grandy's house (my parents) with an owl themed party. We took cupcakes and treat bags to share with her friends at day care. Boy time flies. I can't believe 2 years have flown by so fast. Life has been so exciting, fun, and sweeter, and definity busier with her. She is our surprise gift from God and she keeps us on our toes. She is a busy-body! We love you sweet baby!
Emmeline loved her birthday crown she got a school, and would not take it off. The girl loves cake and we couldn't keep her out of it. It was her birthday, so cake she got!
Sophie helped open the presents, since Emmeline was more interested in the toy she got.
Here she is saying "I two!"
