Emma was excited to learn the letter H because, "H is for Holli." She says. She is in this stage where we are no longer mom and dad, but Holli and Andrey. It drives me crazy, but I can't help but laugh. 
We had her color her letter H in her coloring book and then she picked piglet dressed as a ghost holding a jackolantern. She colored that telling me what she was going to be for Halloween (Sleeping Beauty) and was getting more and more excited for Halloween.
I blew up balloons and put activities on paper and put them in the balloons (thanks for the idea mom). Emma popped a few and we would do that activity. The first day we did the "Magic Boo" activity. I got white paper and with a white crayon, wrote "BOO!" and drew a ghost. Emma couldn't see it (good, she was playing along with the 'magic') so I got watercolors and she painted all over the paper until she could see the hiding message and picture. She had so much fun looking for it and being able to make a mess painting.
The next day we popped some more balloons and made a Halloween chain where every night Emm and Ellie get to tear off a chain and when they are gone, it is time to dress up and go trick-or-treating-Halloween!
The girls colored on paper and we cut that out to form the chain. Ellie has taken a strong liking to coloring so she helped a lot (and is eating fewer and fewer crayons).
The next activity we did was sucker ghosts. We got blow pup suckers, tissue, tape, and a marker. Emma put the tissue over the sucker and I taped it up. Emma learned how to draw eyes, nose, and mouths, so she got to decorate the faces. We made one for Grandma, Grandpa, Bailee and Kaycee (they were watching them that night while Andrey and I had our mutual activities-miniture golfing and Halloween dress up Party). She then made more for the women that I visit teach.
It is fun to see her learning a lot of new things and using her imagination.
I wonder what activities we will do today for the letter 'H'.
