Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Though it was a freezing, wet, and even snowy night, the girls still had a great time trick-or-treating!  Sadly, most people weren't passing out candy or participating but we still found a few houses!  They dressed as scarecrows :)
 


The day before, Josh decided to carve a pumpkin with the girls while I was at music practice for church.  This picture is before the huge mess.  The carved it together and the girls touched the pumpkin guts and were thoroughly grossed out.  Then he told them that they could cook and eat the seeds of a pumpkin.  Amelia sorted all the seeds and put them in a bowl of water.  While Josh was trying to wipe off Charlee, the whole bowl of seeds and water dumped all over the table and floor.  In the mean time, Amelia had asked to go to the bathroom but he told her to stay on the chair until he could wipe off hands.  Just after he'd cleaned up all the water off the table and floor, she waited to long and had an accident all over the chair and floor!  Yikes!  What a mess!😦  I laughed when I heard all of the evening's events but I'm sure it was not too funny at the time!  Josh said, "I don't think I'll be carving any more pumpkins without you anymore." Haha

BY THE WAY...We're having another baby!!  The new baby will be here around the 1st of May!  Amelia and Charlotte are super excited, although they don't really have any idea what's going on.  Amelia asked, "Did you buy the baby at Walmart?"😄  I'd been pretty sick the first trimester but feeling much better now!

A few kid funnies from the last couple of months:

-The kids were "swimming" in our kiddie pool in August and then all of the sudden Amelia face planted in the pool.  After blinking away the water and surprise, she said, "Mom, did you see my trick??"

-Amelia tried Skittles for the first time yesterday.  Today, she said, "Mom, can I eat some more mosquitoes today?"

-Amelia calls the weed wacker a mow wacker.

-After Charlee moved to her big girl bed, one time I checked on her and she wasn't in her room.  She was "sleep standing" next to Amelia's bed!

-Amelia was pretending to read her Bible and she told Charlee, "Quiet Charlee, God is speaking to me."

-Amelia sneezed.  Charlee said, "Bless you."  Amelia said, "Man, I got the bless yous again!"
