Happy Halloween!! I must say I haven't always been a huge fan of Halloween. But that is changing now that we have a little one running around the house. It's much more fun to get in the Halloween spirit because I know that we have to at least dress Ethan up. This year when we got invited to a Halloween party, it was time to think of costumes for all 3 of us! Game on!
Ethan's costume had been established for some time. When I started seeing Halloween ads in mid August, I had to think about his get up. And, a pumpkin seemed like the best option! He's a little too young for super heros, and just a little too old for the really cute baby costumes (like his precious lion last year). So pumpkin it was! I think he's the cutest pumpkin I have ever seen (duh - I am his mother!).
Then Corey's costume. He had an easy time coming up with his costume. He was watching TV a few months ago, saw a commercial, said "that would be easy to dress up as for Halloween", and the rest is history. Who was he?
Enter, Mayhem!
It's the allstate commerical guy - he calls himself Mayhem. People at the party did get it (some guessed that he was a beat up husband - also a good guess).
Then for me. The last time I was pregnant on Halloween I was an oven ... and had a bun in the oven. I still wanted to incorporate my belly this year...so naturally I googled for ideas. There were too many suggestions on the web for painting bellies. NO THANKS! Then I saw a "pregnant nun" costume. How funny - perfect! I ordered just a regular nun costume, no need for the belly enhancer for my costume! Enter, a knocked up nun.
Now the entire family. A nun took a wrong turn, found Mayhem, had a little pumpkin (and there's another on the way!):
With costumes set, it was time to go to the party!
Ethan played ball outside while watching the big kids play basketball.
Then he wanted to try the slide - it was really fast!
Basketball! It was time for Ethan to play - making his first basket ever!! I know grandad is so proud!
Another family Halloween shot:
Once it was dark, it was hayride time!! It was a bit cold - but we still had a great time!
It was such a fun party!!
Happy Halloween - to wrap things up here's Ethan saying BOOOOO!
