Happy Halloween

Posted on Monday, November 4, 2013

I have always loved Halloween.  Fall time, costumes, and of course candy, what's not to love!?  It is fun to enjoy Halloween a little differently with a toddler and watch him enjoy himself, observing so many new things. We went to the trunk or treat in my parents neighborhood to let Hudson do a little trick or treating. 


He was the most adorable little elephant!  I think I might dress him up like that again, just to watch him run around in his costume!



I was impressed with how well he picked out candy!  I was expecting him to try and eat every piece he got, but was so good!  He would take his time and look for just what he wanted from the bowl, grab a hand full, and carefully put it in his bucket.



He did get a bit overwhelmed by all the costumes.  For some reason he would not let me or Jason hold him, only my mom, he cried every time she tried to let him walk, or we tried to hold him.  Maybe it was our cowboy hat "costumes" we had on?  But really, I don't think his Grandma was complaining at all.



The next morning I walked into the living room and realized I forgot to put his candy away, he had climbed onto the couch and was sorting through the candy. It was one of those moments where I felt like I was the mom of a boy and not a baby.



On the way to trick or treat we stopped at a park we took pictures at last week, which Hudson loved, to let him play a little, see him in his spooky pjs...
