I can’t believe it is already November and Halloween came and went so fast. Soon it will be Emma’s second Christmas.


Halloween was fun. Brianna brought her over all dressed in her Elmo costume and she looked so cute that Tara felt jealous. We know this because the first thing Tara did was put her front paws on Emma’s chest and pushed her over on her bottom. Emma got her back after I put Tara in her bumble bee costume from last year. Emma thought that was so funny she would bend over with her hands on her knees laughing so hard. It really tickled her to have Tara all dressed up.


Emma thought that Trick or Treating was loads of fun. She really likes the idea that you go from door to door with a little Elmo bucket and people put CANDY in it. Brianna and I took her to the nursing home, Energy Electric, Aro and a couple other businesses and to one of my co workers, Bobbie, who makes the best popcorn balls for Halloween each year. Emma made herself at home at Bobbie’s house. She always has loved Bobbie who is everyone’s Grandma. Cassie came over and while I worked she and Brianna took Emma out door to door. Cassie stayed the night with Emma, well and Brianna and Jordan so I went over to their place when I got off work at 10. Emma was still up and going strong on her sugar high. Cassie tried to rock her to sleep but she wasn’t having it. So I took her and rocked and sang to her, putting her asleep in 5 minutes. Now that I think of it, I think she goes to sleep so she doesn’t have to hear my off-tune singing anymore! Oh well, whatever works!


Yesterday we went to see Grandpa Lee and Grandma Mert since they didn’t make it out there trick or treating. Emma had a good time trying out the dolls chairs and seeing what she could get into. She had a good time having all that attention on her. She always does.
