happy halloween

This year for Halloween we attended a Trunk or Treat party at our church last weekend and a costume party this weekend. And that's about it. We bought pumpkins but never got around to carving them. Somehow, I don't think Christian will hold it against us. Shane's school and work schedule is keeping all of us busy so we were just happy to attend those two events together as a family.

The best part of the holiday was probably getting to watch Christian's confusion as people dropped candy into his plastic pumpkin bucket. He soon decided to turn the tables and started handing out the candy he collected to those passing it out. Pretty darn cute. As per usual.

Of course, soon after we arrived at the church building for party #1, Shane let Christian have a cupcake and then conveniently handed him off to me as Christian proceeded to smear frosting all over himself and me (someone actually came by and wiped it off my face -- I didn't even know it was there!). I wish we had more of an "after" shot but he was such a mess at that point we were no longer posing for pictures.

We toyed with the idea of letting our "Bamm-Bamm" go shirtless for authenticity sake but we decided it probably wasn't appropriate for a church setting. Besides, it's finally starting to cool off in the evenings around here so he needed the extra layers.

We had hoped to all be in costume as the famous Rubble family but didn't pull it off in time for the church party. However, we finally got our act together for party #2. I hope to post a picture soon.
