I thought you all would enjoy some of our Halloween pictures from this year. We spent the morning here at the house putting finishing touches on our costumes before heading off. Acer was NOT impressed with wearing a costume, even though he decided what he wanted to be and he helped make the costume. After some bribing and some crying after we finally just decided to put the costume on anyway, we were able to get him to keep the costume on. He was the only one who kept his on all night! He even wants to wear it now and then :)
First went for a quick trick-or-treat at the Taylors. Acer had his first taste of real candy when we let him open one of those small bags on m&ms... He ate them all very happily and proceeded to ask for more. It was pretty tough distracting him the rest of the night when he asked for more... AND for the next 3 days he would ask for chocolate just about every hour :) We would find him "sneaking" over to the basket where we had maybe 5 more pieces and trying to find them on his own. We ran out pretty quickly and the chocolate craze is now over, thankfully.
After the visit with the Taylors, we headed to spend the evening with some friends close by. Acer's friends: Noah and Mayla were there along with their parents and new brothers... We had a really great time playing, eating, and carving pumpkins with our friends. It was a really fun Halloween!
Enjoy the pictures and I'll try to write again soon!
Here's a picture of Basil (Kristen's cat), who Acer LOVES, and a picture of Acer in his costume! He decided to be her for Halloween, so Acer and I made a vest and put some ears on a hat that he wears all the time.
Here's one of Acer and Allan all dressed up and ready to go. Allan was a bat. He made the costume with an old shirt and umbrella. Pretty cool. Somehow I went the whole night without getting a picture of my costume. I made and wore a mushroom hat... Even cooler :)
Here we are doing some pumpkin carving with friends. They all had a lot of fun pulling out all the innards...
These are the finished pumpkins. Mayla's is on the left (done by her dad, Kyle). Noah's tractor is in the middle (done by Allan), and Acer's car carrier truck is on the right (done by me).
