Is October really over?

Halloween came and went so I guess that means it is officially November. October was a good month, hopefully November can match it... don't think it will.

Our Halloween was fun. We carved the pumpkin in the morning, but we never actually carved a face in it. All we wanted were the seeds and to give Ellen a chance to help clean it out. All she wanted to do was shove the spoon in there to try to clean it out. There was no convincing her that using her hands would work better. Then, all of the local family met and we marched through Multnomah Village to go trick or treating. It was extremely busy. It reminded me of being in line at an Amuesment part for the big ride, only stopping every two feet to grab some candy along the way.

Erika came up with a great idea of making a Christmas tree costume for Ellen, so that's what she was this year. Complete with lights and everything.

Amelia was a cute pumpkin. And Izabella wore a Halloween themed outfit. It was a lot of fun, and I think the little ones enjoyed it too. Ellen was on a sugar high after the three pieces of candy she ate. We'll definitely have to limit her intake in the future.

When the trick or treating was done, we made our way to Jenny and Josh's place to watch the big football game. That was fun, and Ellen managed to find a fun activity that Emily and her could do together.
