Halloween 2012

 

Jack had an awesome Halloween day.  It was full of friends and playing and his first trick or treating experience.

 

We started off the day in the costume his dad chose for him this year which was a fisherman.  Needless to say he wouldn't wear his hat & was pretty grumpy everytime I tried to put it on him.

We were planning on heading to the zoo, but becuase of the frigid temps the group changed the venue to Monkey's Playhouse which was an excellent choice.  

Jack was warm and kept himself extremely entertained for a couple of hours. 

I grabbed a few snapshots...Is there anything more manly than a fisherman playing in a pink kitchen?

 After a long nap Jack woke up, watched some Sid the Science Kid (his favorite), and then got ready for his second costume of the day...the lion. This was a repeat from last year (a little short but otherwise fit) and kept him much warmer outside than the fisherman. 

I couldn't believe it, but he just fussed right when I put the headpiece on him but otherwise was content.

Our neighbors Christin & Blakely joined us for some playing and chili before heading to a few houses.

Blakely was the cutest little pumpkin and loved Jack's mane.

 

 

Tyler got home from the hospital right as we were walking out the door, so we were excited.

We only went to about five houses, but Jack did great trick or treating.

He held on to his pumpkin and after one man let him pick up his candy out of the basket Jack decided that's what he would do at the other houses, too (we might have created a monster).

 When we got home Jack proceeded to carry his pumpkin around, show Jake all his candy, and deliver to it to Tyler and I piece by piece.

It was truly such a fun day and makes me realize how much fun holidays like Halloween are and will be for many years to come with a little one around. 

I also love seeing all my family & friends' kids all dressed up & cute as can be!

We love you Jack!
