Emma's preschool did the cutest thing for Halloween, they had a "trunk-or-treat". At first I didn't get the concept and had to read the handout a couple of times but the basic idea was that parents park in the preschool parking lot and then the kids trick-or-treat out of the parents' trunks. The teachers led a line of adorable little pre-schoolers, all dressed up, around the rows of cars. Parents had decorated their trunks and it was very festive. Grandma and Grandpa came to join the fun and of course Henry was there too. Emma was so sweet when she first saw Henry - she gave him a nice, gentle pat on the cheek. She was really happy to see her little brother! Emma collected a lot of loot and when we got home she immediately wanted to count and sort all the things she had collected. She even shared a few pieces with Henry. The next day Emma was admitted to Children's Hospital so she didn't get to go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood this year. That was ok, at least she had already had the experience at preschool. Emma also went trick-or-treating around the HOT unit, dressed in her hospital gown and ballet slippers, dragging the IV pole with her. I am happy that Henry is too young to realize that he missed out on Halloween. We'll make up for it next year. Can he be a golfer again? That costume was just so darn cute!
