October Part 2: Happy Halloween!!!

Well, I was thinking my Halloween post would be long because I planned to do lots of fun Halloween stuff this week. However, things didn't quite go as planned. Jeremy and I got hit with a 24 hour stomach bug on Monday. It was not pretty. Let's just say I lost 4 pounds in one day (don't worry, I've pretty much gained it all back now). Thankfully Shelby didn't get it. Most of the rest of the week I had horrible sinus issues, which caused migraines- well, you get the idea. We were at least able to make it to the ward trunk-or-treat on Wednesday, and of course out trick-or-treating tonight.

Shelby could not wait to trick-or-treat. She was so excited to go up to each door, knock, say tick-or-treat, thank you, and then run back to show daddy that she "got a trick-or-treat". It was kind of funny to watch people try and figure out who/what Shelby was dressed as. Most older people don't really know about Clifford the Big Red Dog, so to them, she looked just like a little girl wearing a cute shirt and skirt. Oh well, Emily Elizabeth was the only thing she wanted to be for Halloween.

Kind of hard to see, but here are the pumpkins we carved. Mine says "Happy Halloween" and has a ghost. Jeremy's is a scary jack-o-lantern face.




Ready to trick-or-treat!

Nice pile of loot! Looks like y'all had a great time trick or treating! We missed having you at the Halloween party, you'll have to come down and play one time when you can get away from work for a while.

Sorry about the stomach bug. That's awful! Thank goodness Shelby didn't get it (especially in the car again!)

She made a cute Emily Elizabeth with her Clifford!

Wish we could have gotten together but this month was cray-zay!

Let's do something soon though!
