Halloween

So as we all know Halloween has come and went. Brandon was scared to death of his costume, which I bought too big for him last year (see pic)


So I wanted to see if it would fit this year, but I had the hardest time trying to get him to even look at it let alone try it on. Luckily, in his daycare (which I refer to as school) he learned about dinosaurs like 2 weeks before Halloween. So I made another attempt at trying on his costume like a week before Halloween and was surprised by his overwhelming excitement to try it on. It fit, snug, but it fit (not to be used again by him) and I almost had a hard time taking it off him. He was obsessed with the tail but refused to put on the hat which as you can see or maybe not see in the above pic that was the head of the dinosaur (even if you can't see it's common sense). Mike managed to force the head on for a couple of pics..notice that in the pics, he's not exactly excited to have it on..





and in one of the pics, I just about didn't get his head in it...but you can tell, next year we have to costume shop.

Trick or treating was fun with our headless dinosaur. We were both trying to get him to say trick or treat but that didn't work but Thank you was said every time he got candy, with the occasional greedy "more" There is certain candy I won't let him eat (chewy stuff, small stuff, gum, hard candy anything with peanut butter) but I separated his basket and he can have about half of it. He's managed to eat a couple of kit kats but took one bite of the last one and handed it to me "here e go momma"

Pumpkin picking was fun. We went to this place called Burger Farms on the other side of Cincinnati. Brandon loved all the "punkins" and it was cute hearing him say "punkins punkins" They had a straw maze there and we went in it. If you went the wrong way there was little scary things blocking the path. Well around the first corner daddy said "hey Brandon, go this way" and Brandon went around the corner and saw a skeleton and daddy screamed "ahhh" and Brandon about crapped himself and was afraid the whole rest of the time we were in there!

So we carved one "punkin" and I had these stick in things like Mr. Potato Head pieces that I got last year during the after Halloween sale and stuck them in the other one. Mike said it looked like me..I don't think so but you be the judge.

The other "punkin" Mike carved. He did a great job. We bought one of those carving kits and he traced the pattern onto the pumpkin and cut it out great. He tricked me while carving it by putting fake blood on the knife and sticking it in the pumpkin and letting it drip down the side! I freaked for a second. He was in the bathroom and he was laughing his butt off when he opened the door!! TURD!






We had a great Halloween. The first for Mike with Brandon so he took the night off work to go Trick-or-Treating with him. Brandon walked most of the way.
He also tried to go in 2 people's houses...It was cute..
