October was a very exciting month for us. Halloween is a much anticipated holiday here since I start working on costumes about a month before and Emily gets to watch them slowly come to life. I had originally planned to dress Emily up as Milli, and got so far as finishing a satin dress for her, but then I saw a scarecrow costume for Sean and decided Emily could accompany him as Dorothy. I think they approved.
Our first Halloween outing was 'Trunk or Treat' at church the Sunday afternoon before the actual holiday. They had face painting, cotton candy, and lots of games for the kids. It was an absolute blast.
We also did some real Trick or Treating the next Sunday, which Emily was so very into that she wore herself out after about an hour. We weren't too sad about that. =D
I had a chance to take them to the Montgomery Zoo one day in October as well. They have finished the giraffe feeding platform and both kids got to feed the 3 year old.
Sean has pretty much mastered the art of sitting up by himself, but every so often he gets so excited he tips over backward. It's pretty adorable. In fact, some times he is the last man standing...
He is just such a happy little guy. He brings a smile to our faces every day!
As always, don't forget to check out all the new pictures in the October folder!
