We had a great night trick-or-treating this year. The weather held out, although it was a little too cold for all the tiny fingers. It took weeks to finalize the decision for Carson's costume. He changed his mind multiple times a day and I'm not sure what finally made him stick on Batman. "Not that old gray Batman, Mom, the cool black Batman." I thought his mask was adorable though. I put the costume up when it came in the mail a few weeks ago so it was special to break it out for the first time yesterday morning. He wore his mask to story time at the library today too. Haha
Max has a thing with owls right now for whatever reason. Every time I asked him what he wanted to dress up like he would say an owl, so an owl it was. His costume was super easy to make and I thought it came out so cute. It worked out that another mom I knew happened to have this matching hat for the cold night and he was done. In the morning I threw some yellow pants, a feathered collar and some makeup together for me to be a mama owl, but apparently the owl ears I made made me look like a cat. I'm still laughing at how if there's a way to mess it up, I will do it.
Our boys were so cute though and had as much fun as kids should have on Halloween. My neighbor loves their pictures done too so I love that it helps keep me in the tradition of these photos before the sun sets every year. I hope everyone out there was safe too!
Carson's grumpy face here made me laugh so hard. He was having a moment and didn't want to stop for a picture. It always has to be one of them, right?!
Carson and his buddy Cole did a quick costume swap. Cole's family was all from Willie Wonka! So cute!
Here's all the rest of the stuff from October that I haven't posted!!!
I seriously hate that around here they schedule school's fall break this week. Going to school in your costume was one of the best days of the year, hands down. We didn't do any other activities so I wanted to take the boys out so they could get a whole day of dressing up. I figured we were all winged things so what better than a trip to the Butterfly Pavilion?! :)
We carved pumpkins with our lovely neighbors and their two boys this year. The boys ended up inside playing after about 10 minutes and the grown ups laughed at themselves for the rest of the time.
We had some great leaf piles this year.
We found a great family hiking spot down at Castlewood Canyon State Park last month. We came down for a fall Sunday hike along with Christy, Andy, Dustin and their pups and the scenery was spectacular. I've gone Colorado, folks! I never thought you'd catch me saying I went on a hike and
liked it.
Carson at a super fun birthday party making pizza at a local restaurant. Did I mention he is Carl's son?
Fall tee ball is dunzo. I'm over it with the cold and long nights. It is so hard to figure out dinners!! Fall was the Blue Blades. haha
Monster trucks are still a favorite around here. Oh, and Carson has totally found music. See his headphones? Carson spent a good penny on those and somehow Carson has weaseled those and an iPhone out of us to use as his own.
Now here come a whole lot of silly and squishy Max love…
On his way into daycare. I found that if I call it "school" he is 100% gung-ho about going on in.
Good night "pinky promise" that we're best friends. We have Carl and Carson to thank for that family tradition.
Came out of the grocery store from sun to this…. weird.
