Halloween



This year Oliver wanted to dress up as Scooby Doo - obviously the most expensive costume out there!! Anyway, we waited until they were on sale and picked one up for him. Then, of course, he was a bit reluctant to wear it but with a little persuasion (and the fact his sister was dressed up too) he put it on. He wore it to a halloween party on Friday and then again last night to go trick or treating. He did very well at saying "trick or treat" but he was quite scared of the kids wearing masks and any scary decorations - quite understandable with some of them! But he came back with a whole bunch of candy which will no doubt last the entire year. I ended up throwing away some of last year's because it just got forgotten about!! Emily didn't go trick or treating but she had two different costumes to wear - a monster and a butterfly. Very cute!

Not too much else to report. Emily is still working on the whole crawling thing and is obviously still trying to sprout more teeth as she has rosy cheeks continually. With any luck both things will happen sooner rather than later as she is getting so frustrated!!

Here is the latest bunch of pics and videos!


Happy girl after nap and milk

Tired girl after working on the crawling

Book time after breakfast! A friend of mine gave us these books in a bag of clothes for Emily - Oliver has decided he likes them and reads them every day.

Emily got to hang out with me at the car dealership last week

Oliver with his chocolate pumpkin lollipop he got at school - it didn't last long!

Emily playing with Scoop - she loves her!

And Scoop really wanting Emily to play ball

Yes, mum, I am responsible for this mess

Ha! They both look really guilty

Scooby Doo!

I put Scooby Doo to work before heading out to the party

Scooby's head got in the way and Oliver didn't want the hood up so Scooby had to sit beside Oliver :)

Pumpkin carving - Oliver got bored with the whole thing shortly after this

Wearing her cute halloween shirt sent from the Curry's

Butterfly!

Oliver made a huge car park with all his cars and trains this morning - kept him quiet for AGES!

Can you spot those two bottom teeth??!
