Sorry it had taken awhile to get these Halloween pictures up - we have been sick. Emma brought home a nasty virus that she shared with both of us. I had the flu for a week and Jim is still getting over the last of his.
Anyway - this year Emma decided to be The Little Mermaid. This was the second costume pick. The first one we picked up was a pirate She loved it in the store, brought it home and hated it. She was really interested in the boots but when she found out they were just covers that went over her regular shoes she wanted nothing to do with them. On to costume #2. Little Mermaid was a hit and she is still wearing it around the house.
Since it was a typical Seattle day - cold and rainy, we decided to take Emma to Alderwood Mall for trick or treating. Beforehis she didn't get the "trick or treating" thing buy she was happy to ride around in the little cart they have. She quickly learned that if she smiled, held up her pink Disney Princess bucket and said Trick or Treat she would get candy. She was a natural.
The mall was crazy. It was cool to see all the different costumes and little kids running around. We got there at 6pm and half the stores we out of candy. Apparently they start this at 1pm- who trick or treats 1pm? To our suprise she didn't get much candy and that was just fine with us. Her favorite was a green sucker which she fell in love with (green is her favorite color).
When we were done collecting candy we took Emma to Ruby's for dinner. They have a few electric trains that go around the ceiling that she loves. We all had a great time!
