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...

Happy Belated Halloween!

Posted on Friday, November 16, 2012

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays.  When I was a little girl I would beg my parents to tell me "spoooky stories" at bedtime, and I love dressing up for any reason!  In fact, I think I usually have more fun putting a costume together and getting ready than actually going to Halloween parties.

Now let me flash back, Halloween 2010, Jason and I's first Halloween married, I can't even remember what we did, boring! Halloween 2011, we played games and passed out candy at my parent's house, and announced to friends that we were pregnant with Hudson!  Still pretty uneventful (Besides the prego part)!  Halloween 2012 we had Hudson to dress up and show off, which turned out to be my favorite Halloween yet!

While I waited for Jason to get home from class, I carved three pumpkins in a row, all by myself.  THREE!  Who does that!?  Someone excited for Halloween!

The puking pumpkins, and the baby pumpkin!


Jason got home and we put on our costumes.  The night before we managed to pull together some silly costumes.   We already had Hudson's giraffe costume, so we dressed Jason up like a bear, and I was a Zoo Keeper.


The rest of the night consisted of trick-or-treating at J's work.  Trunk or treating in the neighborhood, and a ward hot dog roast.   Hudson may not remember anything, but we sure will!









PS, Halloween is Tilly the cat's Birthday!  We celebrated her turning 2 with a candle and can of wet cat food, she loved the food hated the candle, in case you care. :)
