Wordless Wednesday-Halloween 2011

2011 marks Lil' Man's second Halloween. Sadly, I think last year was more fun for him. Why? This year, I spent Halloween laid up with the worst sore throat that I've ever had in my LIFE, while Lil' Man had Halloween at Grandpa's...

The *HOT* new Elmo this holiday season-- Elmo Mows The Lawn :)

There was a greater interest in lawn mowing than in Trick-or-Treating

Even the dog wanted in on the action!

Examining his haul

This year Lil' Man's pumpkin was MUCH more simple, i.e. We couldn't find the carving kit, and I refused to buy a new one. :)

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate (hold up fingers for pumpkins)

The first one said "Oh my! It's getting late" (wiggle thumb)

The second one said, "There are witches in the air" (wiggle pointer)

The third one said "But we don't care" (wiggle middle)

The fourth one said "Let's run and run and run" (wiggle ring)

The fifth one said "It's Halloween fun"  (wiggle pinky)

Ooooooh went the wind

And out when the lights (clap hands to the word "out")

And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight (roll arms)

Wordless(ish) Wednesday-Baby's First Halloween

As a mom, some of the sweetest events in life are baby's firsts. With Halloween fast approaching, I found myself looking through last year's Halloween photos. Lil Man's First Halloween. He was 7 months old. He was adorable. He was, dare I say, TINY. And this Halloween, he'll be 19 months, have a set of teeth to actually eat candy with, and be able to walk door to door on his first trick-or-treating adventure. I can only hope that this year's Halloween will live up to last years'.

Little Man and Dear Husband plotting the design they'll carve into the  pumpkin

Lil Man playing with the pumpkin "goo". He loved it!

Lil' Man is SUPER EXCITED about his Piglet pumpkin!

We went to Grandpa's house to take pictures. Those are Grandpa's puking pumpkins...
