YEHAW!!!

Ben and I were able to help out at the Fall Festival for Emma's class. It was so fun hanging out with all the kids!


Who doesn't like a nice cowgirl hat?!

My job was to paint all the little faces...so fun!

Cut outs are the best!

Emma enjoyed eating the donuts! Yummy!


Yes, that is me riding a horse around the maze with Emma.
(Some one had to show her how it's done!)


This is Emma making me a craft to put at my desk.


Ring toss!



Now comes the really fun part!


a


HAYRIDE!
Not just any hayride, one with a HUGE hill!
And they survived!


Watching the other kids have a turn!


WHAT A FUN DAY!!!!

Trick or Treat


Ready...

Set...


Let's go get some candy!


We are like most family's. We find a nicer spot to go trick or treating and we hop to (well we drove, there wasn't much hopping going on). We love West Dundee, so we traveled a few blocks over yonder and began the adventure.


Daddy did A LOT of carrying Emma! (It was really cold)



We did try to get Emma to walk on her own with her fancy shoes.



This is one of the few houses who was participating in Trick or Treat. Some had there lights on, but didn't come to their doors. I guess they don't know the rules.
Thank you for the Yummy candy!



It got too cold to stay outside much longer, so instead of heading home right away (that would have been lame), we went to Starbucks! Emma's never been in Starbucks for a long time, so we enjoyed every minute of the comfy couches and nice conversation.
