This will probably be a brief entry-Evan is (once again) sleeping on me, and my nose is running like crazy....but to not post about trick-or-treat would be a crime! So here is the best (achooo! excuse me) that I've got! (one-handed)
Trick or treat in our city was on Halloween night. We decided to show Evan the fun of the festivities. We spent the day doing all kinds of fall stuff. We picked out a tree to plant in our back yard for him at our local nursery (which my parents are helping us pick up on Saturday), carved pumpkins (in a celebration theme of our vacation we just booked for our 5th anniversary back to our honeymoon location!), and of course went out on the town.
Here are our pumpkins....
....the sunset is mine, the little one is Evans...He designed it all by himself ;o) (and while we're at it, we'll say Dustin designed his by himself, lol...and I'll say he didn't gripe ONE SINGLE BIT about picking out the seeds to roast) ;o) ;o) ;o) (yum)
Of course I had to torture my little guy a LITTLE bit!! (now you see why I needed a large pumpkin!) He might not admit it out loud, but he had just as much fun as I did!
Unfortunately, he got payback. Just after our photo shoot we put him down for a little pre-trick-or-treat nap...which was short lived and ended with screaming.....and screaming, and screaming. I knew he had a little cold, but apparently in those few moments his little germs decided to explode throughout his whole body. :o( Things got especially ugly when the little people dressed in their costumes started ringing the doorbell, leaving Tango anything but speechless. His Barking lead to Evan's screaming, which lead to - well, our temporary loss of sanity. Needless to say, the rest of the evening went mostly like this:
But we tried to make the most of it. We couldn't NOT take him trick or treating for his first Halloween! What kind of parents would we be?!? (I mean, seriously, look how cute! We would have gypped our neighbors of this!!)
And even though he got both of us sick, too, it was worth how STINKIN' cute he was! (Though once we can all go a day without blowing our noses or crying about our sore throats, I totally plan on dressing him back up and getting his cute little Evan smile out of him!)
Hope you all had a spook-tacular Halloween! Until next time, stay warm, eat soup, drink tea, and keep away from those fall time germs!
