Halloween Week

I have known since February that my sister and her family are going to move to Idaho. Her husband has been living there since March. They finally got someone to sign a lease on their house and this was their last week here. I went up Monday-Tuesday to visit them and help her packup. It has seriously been heartbreaking for me. Her daughter is only 4 weeks older than S and they seriously love each other.


As soon as we got there these two held hands and walked around talking for awhile. I'm sure going to miss having them close!!


Cute cousins!


Five cousins in a tub....only missing Avery (of the ones who were here).


We were there helping till around one on Tuesday. Scarlett napped for a sum total of 30 minutes in the car on the way home. That was it. Oh well, that's just life some days. All of the sisters met up that evening for one last hoo-rah with Cami. We ended up doing dinner and bowling. We had a great time with lots of laughs together.

I had to make refreshments for our piano recital on Thursday and S loved being the "helper". It's amazing how happy sugar cookies and frosting could make a kid.




On Halloween we went to pick a pumpkin from Nana and Papa's house. S loves being outside, and always has fun with Nana outside.



We took time to carve pumpkins together after naps. She loved sticking her hand in the pumpkin and also tried eating some of it raw.




S was a monkey for Halloween. She loved doing her monkey "ooo" to people she saw. She said, "trick-or-treat" and "thank-you" to the houses we went to. We didn't go to many people because she's little and doesn't last long, but she had a great time! I had to take some pictures. Possibly a picture overload, but I just couldn't pick.





I have to explain this pumpkin. We are typically a bit more original, but Scarlet LOVES the book "The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything". She knows a lot of it herself, and says parts of it together with you as your read. This is the same pumpkin that is in the story. I think Brett did a great job. S loved it and kept saying "boo! boo!" because that's what the pumpkin says in the book.
