Ok, I missed a day. But, I'm impressed at the rate I'm blogging! Of course, I'm still blogging past events, so it barely counts, but you may not have seen Halloween pictures til February at the rate I was going!
Ok, so we love Halloween, as you all know. (all, 6 of you! heehee) What we are doing is finding the cutest costume we can for my mom to make Jack, and then me and John try to coordinate with him... It's not been easy.
This year, Jack was an elephant. So, the best we could come up with was a circus theme. John was going to be a ringmaster and I was going to be the lady that rides the elephant. Making John a ringmaster, was proving to be difficult. One day, at Target, I spied a "Circus Cutie" costume, aka an adult female ringmaster! It looked great, so we gave up on homemaking and then I was the ringmaster. Now, John was not going to wear a tutu, so we had to come up with a costume for him. We though a pooper scooper would be funny, because circus's have them right? Someone has to clean up the elephant messes! What does a circus pooper scooper look like? A clown. So we gave up on the pooper scooper idea and just make John a clown. We bought a few pieces and thought we could put together a decent clown. We were wrong. We are not good at clowns. Oh well.
Our first Halloween event this year was the Downtown Ferndale trick or treating! We go every year, it's fun to show Jack off !
Checking out his competition in the window of Pinwheel Bakery.
And, how did we get him to keep his head on? The promise of a piece of candy...
Later that evening, we had a Halloween party at our house. Some of the yummy food....
The hosts...you can see this is our worst clown. The makeup was terrible.
The guests:
Barney, Betty and a stegosaurus.
Dr. Trouble and Medusa....
Kermit and Miss Piggy:
Kelly, the Milkmaid (heeehee, that is totally what I should have been Jack's first Halloween!)
A monk, a nun, and Zorro...
I hope this doesn't make Jack scared of his 2 year well check next week.
Boden did NOT like my flashes in his face.
It is impossible to get a good picture of a 2 and 3 year old in costume.
And then, the next day, of course, Halloween and trick or treating!
This time, we did not do the makeup and changed the outfit around a bit, yet it still is not very good.
Our next door neighbors...
He wanted to go right into this lady's house!!
The loot!
