Fall Fun

Oh my oh my. Blogging almost seems like more of a task these days...hence the reason my last post was like 4 months ago. whoops! But I know that there are a lot of family and friends that like to keep up on what we're up to (especially Emerz) since they don't get to see us very often, so I will try to do a little better. This fall has been so much fun. Nice weather and lots of activities with family and friends. I must say that fall is definitely my favorite season of all. This year for family night we decided to start the tradition of carving pumpkins! I honestly haven't carved one since I was like 1o or something...so sad. Its fun to do as a family and makes for some fun Halloween decor! Corey got into it and Emery loved taking out the slimy seeds and then putting them back into the pumpkin. It seriously kept her busy for like an hour! Amazing...nothing every keeps this girl busy for even 10 mins! I realized i didn't get a picture with them all lit up...we had company that night so we finished in a rush and then I forgot to do it later. I was about to go out last night and take one last pic of them but i remember that em had been playing with them and she kicked them off of the stairs and now....lets just say they don't look so grand.

Em has also enjoy helping mommy rake up the leaves from our gigantic tree. She also loved scattering back out once I had finally gathered them all up. Stinker.

This Halloween I was a little out of sorts and just not on top of the costumes. Luckily my mother is great at sewing so she imitated a little Indian princess costume I found online. So Em was "potahanas". And i must say she is the most adorable little thing when she tries to say that word! I already had the boots and we cut up an old coon hat my mom had from when my brothers were little for the fur around the top. Throw on an old shell necklace i made years and years ago...(i was looking for something like elk teeth or a bear claw but my dad reminded me that they also gathered shells...so that was easier!) Thanks mom for the last min costume. It looked awesome!

She loved trunk or treating at our church and didn't really have a clue what was going on. All she knew was that she was getting treats and saying thank you about every 2 seconds!
