Halloween

Here are my two cuties, Cinderella and Lightning McQueen about to head out trick or treating ...



My beautiful princess.....
Talking with Meemaw and Papa online prior to heading out to get some candy....


We discovered that trick or treating at an apartment complex is AWESOME. Every few yards there is another door waiting to be knocked on. We live in a very kid friendly place so most of our neighbors participated and there were tons of kids out and about....




Some of the neighbors got really into it and decorated up their porches....

A photo of the loot. We are still eating our candy several weeks later...

Emma also got to had out some of our candy. This was one of her favorite things last year and once again she loved giving other kids candy.....
And was very sad when the last trick or treater left and she had to go to bed...

Halloween Festivities

The week before Halloween was very busy...the kids ended up dressing up four times. First was a party thrown by our apartment complex. They went all out. Haunted house, bouncy castles, cotton candy, caramel apples, DJ, and lots of fun games. It was very fun....








Next up was a Halloween parade and trick or treating downtown Menlo Park with the Davis family.








Then on Sunday the parents group at our apartment complex had a get together at the playground near our house.....







And then, our course, actual Halloween....pictures to come.

Siblings

I LOVE this photo!!

It captures them as siblings so well. They are the best of friends.

Pumpkin Carving

It was fun this year as Emma was old enough to decide what kind of face she wanted on her pumpkin...

They both helped dig out the seeds...

Emma drew the face she wanted on her pumpkin...Johnny drew all over his pumpkin...



And Emma chose a happy face girl for her pumpkin....."nothing Scary" as she put it...

Lemos Farm

What is October without a trip to a farm to get a pumpkin? This year we drove to Lemos Farm in Half Moon Bay. We made the mistake of going on the weekend and it was packed.

Johnny loved the tractors....
And the little train ride....


But the big event of the day was Emma's first pony ride. She beamed the entire time...

There were also goats to feed which we all loved....

I think Emma wanted to take one of them home...
