Halloween happenings

Wow, we were amazed by how many Halloween events we had this year for our one-year-old! And in the words of the famous Carpenters' song, "We've only just begun."

We had four nights of fun-filled festivities. Sorry I'm just now getting around to posting about them~we needed some time to recuperate (Jameston napped for over three hours Sunday afternoon, before his first official time trick-or-treating)!

Anyone want to guess what our little one was for Halloween this year?

Duh! We may have beat the monkey-theme into the ground, but hey...I couldn't resist this adorable costume:-) And since it cost more than I'd like to spend on a nice family dinner out to eat, Jameston wore it proudly for three Halloween festivities (and he may have to wear it for family pictures next month. HA)!

"Hey, Mom: What are these? Oh, fake feet? You really think I'm gonna keep these on?!"

And us last year...my how time flies!

A fish-face pose in a monkey outfit? You got it!

We see this face a lot when he's teething. Poor fella :-(

And on Friday night we headed to church for Trunk-or-Treat...and Jameston proudly carried the banana prop around with him most of the night! We didn't get to stay long, since someone didn't nap well that day!

Saturday night we were off to Royse City for a Halloween Bash with Aunt Jessica and Uncle Cade. Jameston was the baby-version of "Dodge"from the show, My Name is Earl. And Brett was Earl...Or maybe a sheriff? Or Tom Selleck from Magnum P.I., or the actor Sam Elliot? Hehe.

Like Jameston's monkey feet, the mustache was also short-lived! And I was supposed to be Joy (from MNIE) but that's hard to do in cold weather (and when the costume-wearer didn't want to buy a wig)! Maddox was the photographer for the night...

The next night...Halloween! We just made the trek around the 'hood to see some of our favorite neighbors...they insisted on giving us candy, and Mommy gladly obliged :-)

Here is JW enjoying a sucker, a.k.a. the only piece of candy his mean momma would let him have (because it felt good on those THREE MOLARS coming in)! He was more into the stickiness of it...By the time we got home (before 7, so we could help Aunt Maggie hand out candy) he was SO OVER Halloween and his costume... (or maybe he wanted the candy Mommy wouldn't let him have)!

But our lil' Monkey managed to pull it together one last time for a picture,and he had decided his temporary tail would suffice!

Hope you and yours had a great Halloween weekend!!
