Halloween was a lot of fun.....that night. I'm having my doubts about it now after the fact. Emalie has since become scared of everything and only wants to be with a mama. Maybe rushing around the neighborhood in the dark and asking strangers for candy wasn't the best idea after all. In the past day and a half she has cried a lot, clung a lot and slept a lot less. It's a classic case of hindsight being 20/20 and 'it seemed like a good idea at the time.' It's hard to see her struggle with anything that affects her normal, happy balance. At the time, she did love her costume (Snow White), she did like hanging out with the older girls who adore her, and she did like going to everyone's doors. She did, she liked it all. I think it was actually our own front door that scared her the most-- a creepy, howling decoration. After that, it became all about the "noise". As for Nikolas, he had a great time that night. He trick-or-treated on our street with a friend before going to another (more dense) neighborhood with that friend and his family. I think his costume was mighty frightening. Thankfully it was the one thing that Emalie was not afraid of as we'd convinced her that Nik was just a dog (as opposed to the creepy werewolf he actually was). Anyway, here are the pics as we were headed out the door. Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!
