This Halloween was so much fun. Monday I took the girls to the Halloween party at the library. Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Kim met us there while they were voting. Then we went to surprise Daddy at work so he could seem Emily and Aubrey dressed up in their costumes. Emily was a lady bug this year. Anthony decided to be a ghost. He was kind of a bloody zombie ghost, with a split throat and blood on his chest and back from a gunshot. He got to wear his costume at school this morning. Aubrey was a dalmation dog. All three of our children got to wear it as their 1st Halloween costume. This year was the first time it actually had to get washed. Aubrey went number 2 while visiting Daddy and got a tiny bit on her costume. Sorry Aubrey, it was funny. I'm not mad at ya ;-) Daddy was surprised and so happy to see us. He got some tokens for Emily so she could play in the gameroom. We had an early dinner so we could get the kids ready for trick or treating. You would think that with our early start, we would have left the house sooner, but it takes a long time to get three kids ready, so we didn't leave the house untl 7. We started at Grandma's house and then dropped Aubrey off so Grandma could "puppy sit." She was getting a little cranky. We had a great time. They both got compliments on their costumes and Emily was the most grateful little lady bug in town. Every year she starts out shy, but by the end she's having a blast. She used good manners and remembered to say Trick or Treat and thank you. As we were between houses she was swing and repeating "trick or treat, thank you" n a little sing song voice. By the end of the night, she was racing Anthony up the driveways so she could get to be the one to knock on the doors.
All three of the kids wore the same costume for their first Halloween. A Dalmatian dog that barks. By the time it got passed down to Aubrey it stopped barking. That costume hasn't been washed (because of the electronic button that barks when you press it) But it never got dirty. Until it was Aubrey's turn. She got a little bit of yellow poop on it. Oops
