Boos and Pumpkin Games

 Saturday was a busy day for us.  First thing Emme's had her first Halloween party to attend.  Her friend Michelle who lives down the street was having a Halloween party.  Emme had so much fun.  They colored, played bingo, bean bag toss and danced.  Emme loves to dance.  I am not sure you could call it dancing.  She likes to jump around and twirl.  Livi was taking a nap at home.  (Don't worry I left Matt home too) After her fun party we headed to the Boo at the Zoo.  We have been looking for different traditions to for each holiday.  Things to make the holidays ours and not just following the path of others.  Let me say unless you like crowds and pushy people this is not the activity for you.  It took almost forty minutes to find a parking spot. Then we packed the girls into the wagon and tried to enjoy the day.  It was so crowded you couldn't see the animals, except the tigers. (who were asleep)  The candy tables were crowded and there were lots of pushy people who didn't seem to mind pushing a two year old out of the way for a piece of taffy.  (Taffy is gross by the way)  The best part of the zoo was these two young ladies dressed as Princesses.  They greeted each little girl with hugs and stopped to take pictures.  Poor Livi though didn't realize they were Princesses.  The minute I put her down she freaked.  I had to stand in the picture to hold her.  We left early and went to Matt's cousin's Grandson first day party.  I think we got more sugar at the party then at the zoo.  By the end of the day Emme was bouncing off the walls.  Livi just wanted her blanket and dolly.  She was exhausted.
