Halloween

Happy Halloween!  The kids love this holiday and so do we.  Sadly Emme came down with a cold last Friday passing it along to all to Livi, Alex and me.  Livi got over it quick but it hit me and Alex harder.  Emme's preschool had a program that morning.  She was super excited.  They had been learning songs and dances for it.  She loved that her Grandparents came with us.  She was the loudest kid singing.  She knew all the songs but one she didn't know all the verses but neither did the other kids.  There are thirteen kids in the class.  Emme loves her preschool class.  She is learning more and more each day.  She loves her teacher and learning.  Poor Livi though wanted to be up there singing and dancing with the kids.  She wants to go to preschool too.  Next year she gets to go.

When she gets nervous she chews on her sleeves

Livi was  so cute in her pumpkin shirt

Poor Alex still wasn't feeling well when it was time for trick or treating.  It was nice and warm but we decided it was best for him to be inside.  So Matt took him to his parents so that he could play and not be stuck in the stroller.  The girls were so anxious.  Livi was Rapunzel her favorite princess.  Emme was Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.  We started out about 530.  Of course we went first to our neighbors who always make the girls a special treat.  Every house Livi told her life story.  "I am Livi I am Rapunzel I am three years old  Look at my dress  I love to dance.  We are going to Grandma"  We had to remind her to say thank you and move on or we would still be at the Spencers. They tried every door they came across.  In Alaska we would only go to house with the porch lights on because that was the signal they had candy.  Here there will be lights on no candy and houses with lights off with candy. So the girls just tried everyone.  They wanted to pet every dog they saw we even had some lady invite them in the house.  (Complete Stranger we had a nice long talk with the girls after that) It seems people in our neighborhood just let their cats wander around or we have lots of strays.  Emme is allergic to cats so we had to remind the kids not pet them.  We had one who follow me around the neighborhood.  It was a cute cat but we really don't want to see how bad her allergy is.  (So far we have hives and eyes that swell shut)  After a couple of hours they were tired and climbed into the wagon and had Daddy pull them home stopping at each house along the way.  We then went to Grandma's house for a late dinner.  The girls love showing off their costumes. They love their Grandparents. Alex was having fun playing chase with Grandpa when we arrived.  That little boy adores him.  He launch at him when he see him.  The girls were begging for another sleep over but we had their cousin Zayne's party the next day and then Emme's.  Halloween was super funny.  The next day Livi asked to go trick or treating again.

Off we go
