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.
