Happy Hallow**n

Here are my 4 youngester along with their Cousin Cassie.  Erin got into Hallow**n this year.  She started to talk about it a week and half ago, wanting to get a pink wig and a witch hat.  She asked me on Friday if she could go trick or treating this year with her sisters.  I told her that was fine.  Last year we tried to get her to go and she wanted no part of it.  So it is nice to see her excited about it.  Katie and Monika were having a argument over who was going to be a drama queen until Monika got a panda jacket, she then decided to be a panda.  Jenny lost trick or treating and costume dressing due to some acting out and name calling that she had been doing and wasn't taking the other consquences serious enough.  She was not happy, but she been handling it pretty well.  I am so thankful that Erin is starting to get more into everything, she still is quick at times in deciding she not going to like something, but she is trying more and is learning to that things are fun.  When the kids got home they dumped their candy bags out and started to sort them.  Monika and Katie set aside the reeses butter cups for their Dad and gave me all the butterfingers, Erin seperated all the chocolate out since she doesn't like it.  She traded some of the chocolate with her sisters for their candy.  I asked her what she was going to do with the chocolate and she said she is going to find people to trade with.  She had a big smile on her face.  I am not sure if it is due to a school night or not, but they said around 8, people started to turn their lights off, so they came back home.  My two nephews (teens) came over, they were dressed up too.  They were going to go trick or treating with their other cousin, but it didn't go as planned, so they have announced they are trick or treating next year with my girls.  Tonight Erin said good night to her younger sisters on her own.  She has been saying good night to me for awhile now, but usually bypasses her sisters.  Her sisters almost always say good night to her and she would just nod her head in acknowledgement, but didn't say good night and tonight she did it on her own...another baby step for her.  Erin also did Katie's hair and makeup tonight.  Happy Hallow**n everyone.
