| Elvis the Bee |
Halloween was beyond fun this year! The holiday kicked off on Thursday, Oct 28th with the annual Halloween parade at daycare. I am fortunate enough to have the boys right at my work so I dropped them off in their rooms and snagged a spot for the much coveted and ever so popular parade - Dad even joined me (it was also our 10 year anniversary - WOW.) It kicked off at 9:00am and started with the youngest so our little bee was first to make his appearance. All the babies were just as cute as could be but our little bee was the cutest with those big chubby cheeks (may be just a little biased... then again... no, he was the cutest).
Next up was our very own Mickey the Mouse followed by our Spider Man. Joshua loved all the attention and was all smiles - his little flirty smile. Jack on the other hand, was funny. Granted he had a mask on so we couldn't read his true expressions, but he would not give us the time of day. Keep in mind that hundreds of people are watching these little celebrities - it would put the Hollywood paparazzi to shame! Jack tends to get a little nervous in these types of situations but that is usually when he gravitates to us the most. On this day, it was as if he was far too cool for Mom & Dad - was this a glimpse into what it's going to be like in 10 years when he is a teenager? I always say this is my favorite two hours of the year and this year was no exception!
Saturday was pumpkin carving day. Jack loved digging in and pulling all those pumpkin guts out. Josh was deathly afraid of the pumpkins! At one point in Jack's excitement, he flung a piece of the innards towards Josh and he had a meltdown. Check out the look on his face in the pic below. You've got to wonder what is going through his brain at this point - what is so scary about pumpkin guts? Is he afraid it's going to grow wings and attack? Guess we will never know!
Finally, Halloween is here! Since the Vikings were on from 3:00 - 6:30 (glad we won't have to worry about that happening again for another 7 years!) it was up to Grandma and I to get the boys all ready for the big event. This may sound easy but I was sweating by the end so we headed outside for a little pre trick-or-treat photo shoot. Wrangling three little boys to sit still for longer than a nano-second is more difficult than leading the British army - I'm sure of it!

Jamison stayed home to hand out candy with Grandma while Dad, the boys and I headed out. All in all, they did awesome. Joshua fell off a couple of steps and skinned his knee after tripping over his own foot (surprising, right?), Jack handed back anything he didn't like - namely chocolate, and anytime a barking dog greeted the door they ran like the wind, but they had so much fun and brought in a decent amount of loot for the short hour we were out.
We already can't wait until next year. Jack brought up a very important concern though -"Mommy, I was Batman last year, Spider man this year, WHAT am I going to be next year???" He said it like those were the only two costumes in the world and he was in quite the predicament. Guess we will just have to see. :)
