Halloween

Not much to note about the pumpkins....except Conner thought the seeds were "eww Gross..." no need to mention that last year they were the funnest part. Oh and that Conner decided how his pumpkin face should be. In case you were wondering, well, Steve's pumpkin is a Ninja Turtle....go figure!

Ask me how determined a three year old can be about what he wants to dress up as...First it was Elmo, because he likes Elmo and we had an Elmo costume. But then he saw my FamilyFun magazine and wanted me to make him the dragon costume they had a picture of. It was a cardboard monstrosity....cute and fun....but what a headache. I didn't know how to tell him that Mommy didn't want to pull all her hair out and be bald for Halloween. So thankfully we were at Rachel's and he saw a costume ad in her paper. He was looking at all the dressed up kids and out of the blue said he wanted to be Batman and even sang the "Nananana...BATMAN!" song. Don't ask me how he knew it. He is just a quick one I guess. So then he was determined to be Batman....ask his mom how much fun it was to figure out what we were going to do about that. I hadn't seen any Batman outfits small enough and nothing was going to deter him. Once again Aunt Rozy came to the rescue. She said she had a little Superman costume so we went to her house to try it on. And out of the wonderful basement of treasures came a DINOSAUR outfit. An Aladar no less (for those who are clueless...like me....Aladar is the one from DINOSAURS movie)....and so we were set. He was so excited and he was so cute. From the side or back you couldn't even see his little face. We sent fun pics to all the grandmas. Plus it was warm....always a bonus in the frigid cold. Pic coming soon....
