Busy October

We had a busy October.  I don't remember September very well...maybe it was so busy I forgot to record it.  

First off, I had a bunch of dental work done.  I'm still in the middle of a root canal and I still need a cavity filled.  Hopefully, it'll be done soon and NO MORE DENTAL WORK, at least for a while.  

Emi-chan was invited to 3 birthday parites.  The first on was for a Sunday School classmate and it was held at Pump-It-Up.  Emi-chan usually has a great time there, but this time, maybe because it was in an unfamiliar party room, or different kids, it was noisy, she had a hard time.  She did like the little cars they had out.  

It's a wee tight, but I like it in here 

The second party was for 2 neighbor boys at a local party place.  Emi-chan didn't like it there, either, although we had her last birthday party there.  

The third one was for a school classmate.  She didn't even make it to getting a slice of pizza.  We didn't even have time to take pictures.  She had it with all the kids, adults, new noises, unfamiliar places, etc.  

 We took part in a walk-a-thon for school.  We weren't sure how she would do with all the people and the noise, but she did okay.  We walked around the track 4 times.  That seemed like the average for the kids in her class.  

Here we go a-walking

With Papa

They kept playing Gangnam Style LOUDLY while we walked.  
It was fun the first time...not after 3 times

Then, it was Halloween!  Emi-chan LOVED it.  She wanted to be first Kiki the witch, then Super Martian Robot Girl, then finally, Duchess the white cat from The Aristocats.  I had to make a white cat outfit because there were only black cat outfits at the stores.  I have to admit, this year's costume was pretty lame but Emi-chan was happy.  I guess that's what counts.  There was a parade at school.  At first, she had a hard time because of the loud music, but soon was able to take part in the parade.

I love a parade!

Later in the evening, we went Trick-Or-Treating.  It was funny.  Emi-chan practiced saying "Trick-Or-Treat" all day, but when it came to actually say it, she got stage fright and said, "Good Morning!"
