Ok, so I'm almost embarrassed to admit this... Jacob and I have been married for 3 1/2 years (that's not the embarrassing part) and we play monopoly sometimes. Well, for the last 3 1/2 years I have gotten my butt kicked every time. I will own up to spiking the board on a few occasions. Today, the tables turned. The first games we played lasted maybe 10 minutes and Jacob beat me really bad. I resisted the urge to spike the board and asked for a rematch. I got the first and second monopoly on some properties and with my lucky roll of tons of doubles (without ever having to go to jail) I racked up some serious money. The end of the story is is that I totally blew Jacob out of the water. It was a very redeeming moment for me.
In other news, Emma had a blast last night. She was a black cat, although her ears looked more like a mouses since they weren't pointed. We went to our ward's trunk or treat and then came home just in time to catch some trick or treaters. Everytime the door bell would ring, Emma would run as fast as she could to the door so she could hand out candy. She didn't want to go to bed for fear that she would miss someone. We were keeping her up until 9:00 anyway to get ready for the time change so we assured her that she wouldn't miss anyone and that they were all done coming to the door. I loved seeing the excitement in her face when she was trick or treating and handing out the candy to other kids.
We carved pumpkins on Thursday night. It was our first time as a couple and a family doing it together so it was pretty exciting for us. Jacob couldn't figure out what he wanted his to look like so he went online to get a template. Emma and I were getting her ready for bed and I decided to check on Jacob's progress. He had gotten out the power drill and was using it to detail his pumpkin. I grabbed the video camera and got some video of it too. If I had a computer cord for the camera then I would post the video. Emma thought the pumpkin guts were gross. She made quite the face which I also got on video (dang it!). It was a good Halloween for us!
