Halloween 2013

Happy Halloween! If you were a blog reader last year at Halloween you may remember me saying that I had already bought his costume for this year and that it went with the "theme." Christopher was a lobster last year.... and this year he was a hammerhead shark! Definitely did not think he was going to let us put the head on but he did! Christopher trick or treated for about an hour this evening. I am surprised we got that out of him. I wasn't too sure how it was going to go at all! I feel like he got the concept of taking his bucket up and getting the candy... thanks to his buddy Nicholas! He kinda followed his lead at the first few houses and then realized what was going on. He had so much fun! We worked all week on "happy" and "Halloween" and Christopher could say both. He would never put them together though. And unfortunately he didn't say either one when we got to the houses. He did, however, throw out a "trick or treat" (in his own way) when I put him in the bath afterwards.

Before trick or treating, Christopher had his Halloween party at daycare! He was a Cookie Monster for that party. Since I didn't think he would get into the shark costume, I had to have a backup! At the party we got to make little foam pumpkins with pictures on them.... of course I forgot mine there so I don't have a picture of it to show! It was fun seeing all the kids there in their little costumes!

Enjoy the Halloween pics!

Playing with Play-Doh!

Tired already?!?!

Swinging with Austin!

Weeeeeee!

Our little shark!

He has a fin back there somewhere...

What do I do with this?!?!

Pictures with Nicholas!

And a video of us trying to get them to look at the camera!

How sweet.

Following Nicholas!

He just stod there waiting. I thought for sure all those kids were going to turn right around and run him over, but they didn't. Once they left, Christopher stood there and made the man bring him the candy.

Walking with Daddy.

Making his way up to Miss Jennifer's house!

And then we have just some randoms from the week!

Shopping in downtown Acworth last Friday! Miss L gave us a yummy cookie to enjoy!

Christopher new favorite toy. A flashlight.

Always trying to be like daddy.

Riding in Garrick's Jeep with Mac. Unfortuntely, neither boy was tall enough to reach the pedals so they just sat there.

Me and Mattie. <3

Fort building with daddy.

Matt was getting ready to go for a run and was stretching beforehand... so Christopher was learning how to stretch!

Has it been that long since I have updated? This is from last week from our Thursday grocery shopping trip. He carried the bag all the way in and unloaded it for me. :)

Working on a puzzle.

Family movie night.... Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin!

And that't it! Have a great weekend!! :) :)
