Happy Halloween

I see every Halloween being a very busy time but oh so fun!  After deciding what to make for Addison's birthday dinner we decided to just get take outs (I know such a lazy mom but it was the quickest and easiest for a busy evening), we still made sure to make the birthday mein (noodles).  Funny enough when we asked Emma what we should have for dinner for Addi's birthday, she said "Mein Mein".  Both Rod and I were surprised when she said that...how did she know we should have that...just coincidence??

So after a quick dinner, then singing happy birthday and blowing out 1 candle we quickly got into our costumes (kids only) and bundled up to go trick or treating.  Addi really enjoyed her chocolate cupcake, this girl can really eat....to think I was so worried she wouldn't eat. 

We joined our neighbors Chuck and Jennifer with their girls, Madelyn and Grace and walked our street.  This was Emma's first experience of going around trick or treating...Rod and I loved watching Emma enjoy herself so and get so excited....Going to the doors and knocking, took a little getting used to but by the end of the night she was running to the doors and trying to be the first to ring the doorbell, she asked us to hold her pail as it was getting too heavy.  She sure got tons of candy. 

She was taken aback by one house where Madelyn rang the bell and peered through the window...the lady, dressed as a witch opened up the door and asked, "What are you peeking through my window for??"...Madelyn very politely said, "Trick or Treat" and held out her bag.  Just aswell Emma was standing toward the back, else she'd probably would have come running to us.  She's constantly asking me now, what did the witch say and why??  Everything is why these days...
 
Addi all this while was sitting in her stroller, staying warm under her blanket.  Should be cute next year when she's walking around and trying to keep up with her sister, as she's always trying to do...

Can't believe we now have 2 more months left of this year, it has gone by way too quickly.  Funny how we so look forward to things and they're over in a flash....
Today in the car Emma pipes up....Daddy's birthday is next.....yip, Daddy is the last to celebrate in this family....now what to get Daddy for his birthday and what cake to bake next???  Will be here tomorrow....how old are you this year daddy?? :)

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween.
