Pumpkins!

Emma got a second round at the pumpkin patch with Mimi and Papa and she had lots of fun with the oversized pumpkins:

 Here she is with all her pumpkin booty:

Happy Halloween

Emma got to go Trick or Treating for the first time this year.  And had a wonderful time.  Here are pictures of all the fun:

Here is their daytime outfits (thanks to Aunt Stephanie for them):

 There was face painting at pre-school today.  Emma made a great cat:

 

Here is monkey Sarah (thanks again to Aunt Stephanie):

 Both girls on our way out:

 Sarah's version of trick or treating was staying in the stroller and letting Emma beg for a second piece for her sister:

 And here is Emma at one of our stops:

 And look how much candy Emma got.  She will be bouncing off the walls for weeks to come:

Happy Halloween everyone!

Dancing Fool

Emma still really enjoys her dance class and has now begun a ballet and tap class.  Here she is getting into first position:

 Practicing her teddy bear routine for her recital in December:

 With her tap shoes:

And here is a little clip of her favorite part of the tap shoes, walking around so they make noise:

Feeding fun

Emma is a great big sister. She loves to help with everything to do with Sarah, including feeding her:

 

Sarah is not such a good eater.  Mostly she ends up wearing all of her food:

Emergency!

During our Saturday outing, Emma got to see different emergency vehicles.  Here she is with the fire engines:

 She might need some leg extensions to be the driver:

 A new way to ride:

 Driving the police car:

 We aren't sure it is legal to have 2 drivers:

And hopefully the portion of the police car we NEVER see our children in:

 And, of course, Emma's favorite part, the K9 unit:

Halloween day fun

We spent the day today doing fun stuff together around town.  Emma had her science lesson, where she had a wonderful time learning how to make a volcano:

Then we took her to Boo at the Zoo and she got to wear her costume; Cinderella:

 Here she is at the zoo getting her face painted:

 And naturally she got a blue doggie (she LOVES the color blue):

 Here she is enjoying the zoo hayride:

Pumpkin decorating time!

We went pumpkin-picking two weekends ago, and decided that it was about time to decorate the pumpkins that we found.  Here's Emma, getting all set to decorate.  Daddy was ordered to carve the two big ones, and Emma decorated the three small pumpkins with stickers and markers.

She offered to help get some of the pumpkin guts out, but decided it was too yucky to do much of it!

After we decorated all of the pumpkins, the girls put on their pumpkin hats (that Mommy knitted for them!) for a photo shoot.  Here's our favorite shot of Sarah:

And then the only picture where you can see both girls at the same time.  Apparently Emma has a pumpkin for a body.

Note also that one pumpkin has three eyes, and one has six.  Emma made some interesting artistic choices, and Daddy was happy to carry them out!
