Halloween festivites

 

We had a fun Halloween! It is so much more exciting as a parent then a child. Watching Lincoln walk up to his grandparents doors. I bought Lincoln a Mater costume because Mater is his favorite character. But every time I would put it on him he would scream and was not a fan. So we went with skeleton jammies instead. Mommy made chili for dinner, it was a tradition when she was growing up that chili was for Halloween every year. We went to our family houses around town and our neighbors house. Lets face it, the 18 month old does not care to walk door to door and Mama is seven and half months pregnant with swollen feet.  Mommy went has Wilson from Cast Away, Daddy was a Daddy, and Lincoln was a handsome skeleton with spikey hair. It was the first time I got to do anything with his hair because he finally has hair! Great Nana bought him his blue bucket and he carried it around for a week playing with it. Putting his toys in it. Who knew a bucket was so much fun, why do we buy him toys again?

 

He has such a personality when it comes to taking pictures.

 

Walking up to grandmas house with Daddy! Grandma feed him lots of chocolate and gave him a light up football.

 

 He still loves playing with his bucket. It might stay out of the Halloween tot for a while. He also dressed up as a football player to watch the falcons play with Daddy. He filled the bucket with rocks then cried because it was too heavy.

 

I can not believe this was last year, I was one of those parents that put my child in a pumpkin. But it is still so cute! He is turning into a little boy instead of my baby.

 

After going to the grandparents houses, we settled down and watch some football and then went off to bed. But not before he ate Oreos and fruit loops from Great Grandpa. Chocolate from grandma. Played with his little pumpkin from Great Grandma. And his first cell phone from his Aunt Haley.

 

Mommy carved pumpkins this year, Lincoln did not like being sticky. Hopefully he will be more helpful next year.

 

 

It is so fun watching him learn and watch his little mind work.

After touching everyone.

 

It was a very good Holiday.  Next year we will have a Mater costume from Lincoln and a Crab costume for little sister. Holidays are so much fun in our new house. I loved decorating for Halloween. And now my thanksgiving decorations are up. I will need to get a few more since fall is the best time of the year. I am looking forward to watching Lincoln gobble up his thanksgiving meal this year! We are going to enjoy these next few weeks while he is still our only child. Maybe we will come up with a name for little sister soon. Hope everyone had a awesome Halloween.

I have so much fun writing a blog about raising my little pumpkin.
