Trick-or-Treating

Here they are ready to go. There weren't as many houses open as there normally is because so many of the guys are deployed. Shrek and Fiona were the favorites of the night. They couldn't go 5 feet without someone taking their picture or wanting to talk to them. It was pretty funny. Emmalyn wanted to go wherever they went and just kept staring at "Princess Fiona". Zachary just kept talking to Shrek. It was so funny. We had a good night.

Scarecrow

Emmalyn's costume turned out great. She is the cutest little scarecrow around. She got comments everywhere we went. We impressed the masses. I'm glad that I spent the time making it. After she got it on and got going she didn't even complain too much. (By the time halloween came around she had changed her mind and wanted to be a princess. I'm telling you, peer pressure.) She made a point to tell everyone that she was a "nice" scarecrow.

Zachary's School Halloween Party

Zachary's school had a halloween party and parade. Zachary was dressed as a pirate and most of the costume is actually for Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Carribean." In the last picture he is sitting with his friends Alex (also a pirate) and Luke (knight). They were really cute playing together. Afterwards they had a fun lunch that all the parents pitched in for.

Emmalyn's School Halloween Party

Emmalyn & Ashley are here waiting in the pick-up line after school. Hers and Zachary's parties were at the same time so I didn't make it to both. Her teacher said they had a great time though. They trick-or-treated to the different classes. Emmalyn was supposed to be a scarecrow for halloween but that didn't work out this morning she wasn't feeling it. I will have her wear it for sure later though. I spent too much time on it for her not to.

CRAZY!

Doesn't Zachary's hair look wild???? We had one of those blow up squishy balls and it broke so we used it for a wig and we got this. How cool is that??

Emmalyn's Family Party

What a cutie. She loved all her presents from grandma Harmon (apron) and Grandma Shumaker (purse). Emmalyn helped Mommy make her birthday cake. She wanted it to be purple so I dumped a ton of fuchia food coloring into her white cake mix and we got this awesome color. Then I suggested lime green for the frosting which also looks awesome, with pink sprinkles. It says "Emmalyn is 3" and I drew a couple of little flowers. It turned out cute enough. It tasted good too.

Emmalyn's Birthday Crown

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMALYN!!! We did this for an activity while Zachary was at school. We had to do something for her birthday and this made her feel very special. Look at that concentration.

Go Steelers!!!

Daddy sent Emmalyn a Steelers cheerleading costume. She is adorable. She loves it.

Pirate Festival

The Pirate Festival was sooo much fun. It was pretty hot though so we didn't stay for too long. There were some awesome costumes and lots of pirate gear. The kids got pretty hot so we didn't stay for the parade but we will definitely go next year and try to catch it. I got the kids pirate hats, necklaces and muskets. They love it. You should have seen me try to take them to the bathroom trying to hold all that stuff plus two extremely hot corndogs. We couldn't put our stuff down because the bathroom was really disgusting so I was trying to hold everything and still help wipe. It probably was amusing for everyone else though.
