I decried last year how Halloween seemed to be receding into a holiday no longer impacting our lives–mostly because Madysen and Speed are getting too big to cuddle.
That was true again this year, maybe even more so since Madysen and I were in Norman for the OU game against Kansas State. It was a beautiful day, though Madysen almost missed it all since I woke her up at 2 p.m.! Anyway, the game looked to be a walkover as we had an early 21-0 lead, but the lead was cut to 6 points twice in the second half, which had me awfully nervous. But they won 42-30, and I think Madysen enjoyed herself. A big treat that she got to see the Pride play “Thriller” at her first game.
Meanwhile, back at home, Emma and Layla and, to a lesser extent, Speed, got their Halloween on. The girls decorated pumpkins with Mr. Potato head parts and carved a pumpkin with bats and stars. Speed carved a skull pumpkin.
Though hard to see in this picture, Emma went dressed as a candy corn (most people thought witch because of the hat, which irritated her greatly) and Layla as a bumblebee in a costume made by her friend Rachel. Emma made the bigger haul, which pleased her.
