Thursday night Emma was able to wear her costume for dance class and all the girls looked so adorable! We were able to sit in for the whole class and I was so impressed at how far they've all come. Emma and her friend Sarah were little stinkers toward the end trying to put tape on one of the instructor's back, tickling each other and talking when they were supposed to be listening. It was my observation that this was the case because Emma was so quick to volunteer to demonstrate the next drill...which left her sitting...and getting bored while the other girls all had their turns. Otherwise she was attentive, definitely participating and having fun. Love seeing her so happy.
Friday night I decided Emma and I could have a date night. David had to work and then was working out after he got off. So Emma and I headed to Barton Creek Mall to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs in 3D. The movie was fun and Emma was so excited. This had also been the day that she had her class "pumpkin party" at school. They had a pinata, face-painting, games etc. I also had an ulterior motive for going to Barton Creek Mall. Mommy needed new jeans and they have a Motherhood Maternity @BCM and it's right by the theater.
After the movie we just enough time to shop at Motherhood before the mall closed at 9PM. At this point we were both exhausted and needed to get home to our DD!
Saturday David had to work. Emma did her regular Saturday morning routine with her grandparents and then I picked her up and we headed over to visit Granny Gamble. My mom met us there and we all visited for an hour or so before Granny needed to head down for dinner. Then Emma and I went over to my parents house, put some finishing touches on Emma's costume and put on eyeshadow and blush (Emma was so excited- we don't normally do makeup) and lip gloss. When she was all ready we headed over to Redeemer for their 'Trunk or Treat". It's an interesting concept which I had never heard of before. A row of vehicles were lined up and were all decorated so cute! Many had games and activities for the kids, but mainly they just go car to car 'trunk or treating'. Since David wouldn't be home until almost 7PM after working all day, I decided this was a good option for us this year. I'm so not into Emma having a bunch of candy. She gets at least one "pop" from her grandparents every Saturday and treats from school and us every now and then. Other than that I think candy is pretty ridiculous this young- at least bagfulls. At this age it's not fun to have to try to reason with them every day. Emma is excited about having an apple, yogurt etc. and when we take her for ice cream, or let her have a cookie it's a real treat and she knows it. Next year I'm sure we'll be going door to door, hopefully with our munchkins in our wagon. Enough ranting, just don't understand all the infants we saw with their own bags of candy.
David got home just in time for the UT game. My parents joined us at our house for dinner and the game. We didn't have a single trick or treater all night long. Crazy!
