Halloween 2012

Another Halloween is in the books!  Last year as you may recall, Emma was an adorable cow.  This year we tried to stick with the barnyard theme so we decided a duck would be fitting.  Some of you may be saying, "Jason, a duck is not a barnyard animal."  Well I, along with Old MacDonald, disagree. ;)

Before Emma donned her duck costume we needed to take care of some pumpkin business.  In case you've never carved a pumpkin before, there are certain steps you need to take.

Step 1: Pick your pumpkin.

Step 2: Clean out the innards.

Step 3: Mark out your plan.

Step 4: Cut it out and enjoy the end result!

Step 5: Set them out for display.

Step 6: Light 'em!

Once the pumpkins were set out and ready for the night it was time to get Emma suited up for her ducky debut.  We loaded her in the wagon and took a stroll around the block stopping to say hi to our neighbor friends.  Emma loved it!  She was very curious to know what the heck all the people were doing out and about and why we were going for a wagon ride after dark.

One of my favorite Emma pictures of all time is from Halloween 2011.  It is a picture of Emma in her cow cos...well here it is:

I posted it in the blog with a caption that read, "moo bitches".  Well, Emma took that same sass and channeled it into her duck portrayal this year.  So I give you Emma's impression of Diva Duck:

Quack Bitches!

Happy Halloween :) 

Jason, Melissa, and Emma
