Halloween

This sorry post is the extent of my Halloween pictures. Let me explain....Halloween started on Thursday with Emma's school costume parade that was immediately followed by her class party which was at the exact same time that Brielle had her preschool carnival, so I took the camera and Nick took the video camera. (hence pictures of only one child). That night was at our ward's Trunk-or-Treat and since it was dark by the time we were outside, I didn't take any pictures then either. The next night Emma was invited to two birthday parties which overlapped a little so she gone for four hours that night doing Halloween stuff. On Saturday we planned to go to Nick's parents Trunk-or-Treat but by the time we got there it was raining and Brielle didn't want to get her Jasmine dress wet and Emma only walked around to 10 cars before people packed up and left. So, then I told myself to get a picture of them on Sunday sometime...yeah....never happened. Just picture Brielle in a cute purple princess dress with a crown and high heels and if you could see Emma's picture better you would notice her costume was Jasmine as well, but she looked more like a gypsy to me. Anyway, you can tell Halloween is not my favorite holiday.  We just do the basics!

Preschool Pumpkin Patch

It's finally Brielle's turn to have preschool field trips!  Her first field trip was last month at the pumpkin patch where she got to pick out a pumpkin, play in the corn box and go down some fun slides. She had a great time and it was nice to spend some one-on-one time with her. Her perfect pumpkin was not even allowed on our porch until Halloween weekend because she wanted to keep it in her room!

Soccer

Emma wanted to play soccer this year. I don't mind encouraging new things, but it was a lot of work to add one more activity to our week. It turned out that practices were on nights that Nick was at work and games were also while Nick was at work so it was up to me to get her everywhere. The bad thing was that I know nothing about soccer so I was a little lost. Luckily, Emma had fun. She was a little timid to play but she did a great job for having a clueless parent! Hopefully, we'll both feel more comfortable in the spring!
