Happy Halloween!

 Emerson was Rapunzel for Halloween this year!  She went back and forth between a princess or a mermaid many times, but on the day we went to buy the costume, Princess Rapunzel was the winner.  We didn't find a wig to match, but she found this lovely headband when we were at the dollar store getting some school supplies one day...doesn't it look beautiful? :-)  We went trick or treating down our street with our neighbors, but Emmie actually had more fun passing out candy at our house.  She stood by the door waiting and calling out "HI!" to anyone within earshot.  She got so excited when she saw someone walking up the driveway, she frantically counted how many kids and got the right number of treats ready for them.  It was adorable.

So excited for trick or treating!

Waiting for trick or treaters

Pumpkins!

Emerson got a big pumpkin from Grandma Liz and Grandpa Bob's garden (they are her babysitters)  She cleaned the outside, helped me scoop it out and bake the seeds, then Daddy carved the design that he and Emmie chose.  Once we put it outside on our porch, a hungry squirrel came along and ate most of the front the next day :-(  So we decided to paint the smaller pumpkins after that!

More Summer Fun

 Emerson had lots of fun on her trampoline this summer!

2nd haircut ever!

She saw another girl at Snip-Its getting braids and she had to have them too :-) 

She slept in the braids and loved her wavy hair in the morning ("I look like Kenzie!")
