We had a few events this year for Halloween! It was busy and fun. It made the last half of the month all about Halloween. Ethnie was a princess and Emmett was an Uglydoll. I tried to decorate the front porch a bit:

The darn squirrels ate all of our pumpkins. I know there are certain sprays you can buy to cover the pumpkins with, but most of them hurt the squirrels and I don't want that to happen. So, we bought some more and decorated again! It was fun anyway and Ethnie loves the paint markers. She and I decorated while Emmett took his afternoon nap. What do you think?

We attended a Halloween party at our church one night and the kids had a blast. There were lots of activities, snacks and a 'trunk or treat' in the parking lot at the end of the party.

Ethnie's twin friends, Violet and Piper, had their 5th birthday party over the weekend and we all went. It's a pretty big production! They make it an annual 'boo bash' with adults and kids. Ethnie knows the girls from her class. We all had a nice time.
