A Very Happy Halloween!
We had a great Halloween.
Luke spent a long time (15 minutes?) under his gym batting at toys. This is by far the longest he was self-entertained this way. It was especially nice because it gave me time to prepare for our Halloween party hopping afternoon.
First we went to a party at the Birth and Family Place. Emmett was brave and ate a sticky candy eyeball, and enjoyed the dry ice in the punch. He loved saying "OOOOooooooo" and waving his arms to scare people with his ghost costume. Luke napped, adorable in his pumpkin suit.
Then it was on to the Tenfold party. The office was decorated and there were lots of fun activities. Emmett loved the "fishing" game, where you throw a line over a barricade and someone clips candy on it for you to "catch." There was also a "spooky tunnel" between some cubes. It was dark-ish, with smoke and spooky music. Emmett had to really work up his courage, but he went through. Afterwards, he called that his favorite thing from the party.
Back at home, David put makeup on Emmett to complete the costume, and we went trick-or-treating with our neighbors.
The word "scamper" was invented just to describe how Emmett moved from house to house. He was having a great time! Luke came trick-or-treating too, sleeping in the sling. Emmett's night ended with a bath to get off the greasy makeup.
