Emma was the only one that was able to do the mutton bustin' this year. Luke was too old and heavy and Myles wasn't old enough! Emma was excited at first and then the jitters set in. Nothing like a little bribery to help ease the nerves. We also had our friends, the McNeils, join in on the fun.
Emma had a great cheering section. However, she was not loving it and was much happier when we went to see/pet the animals.
I love the look on the face of the lady who is holding the bunny. She is looking at that other woman like, "Uhhh, this is for the kids!" Haha.
We swapped a weekend with Cramers in the summer for a couple's getaway and they were up first! We had a blast with their kids. We did the county parade and received copious amounts of candy. We sit right at the beginning of the parade and everyone is very excited to throw handfuls of candy towards our line-up of kids. It's pretty ridiculous when candy is left on the street because the kids reach a point they become selective about which candy goes in their bag. Our kids are currently still enjoying their candy from that parade--just in time to replenish with Halloween candy. We filled the rest of the weekend with lots of playtime at home, assembling a glider, playing at parks and attempting church. The youngest two were done before church even started! :) Love these neighbors and friends who are like our family!
Emma loved having another girl around...we all did. :)
Emma lost her first tooth back in July! (I need to play some major catch-up on the blog). She was pretty excited about that tooth coming out and is currently working on losing her next tooth. Our tooth fairy pays $1 per tooth. I think Luke may have pulled a tooth slightly early in order to reach his saving's goal to purchase a lego set.
