Halloween 2011

October 31st was a busy and fun day for us this year!  

It began with our weekly trip to story time at the library where the librarian read about dogs (why dogs and not pumpkins??  I don't know..), we sang songs, and did the hokey pokey.  Jack is quite good I might say at doing the hokey pokey :)  

We ran a few errands afterwards and then headed home for lunch and nap time.  

As soon as he woke up from his nap, we jumped in the car and headed for downtown McKinney where they have an event every year called Scare on the Square.  I had been told to be there early and I'm glad we got there when we did.  It was already packed!!  Basically, kids walk around to all the stores and go trick-or-treating.  Jack had a blast and even said "trick-or'treat" when he was supposed to.  It sounded more like "t-teet" but most people commented that it was really cute and that he looked adorable.  Of course ;)  He didn't quite understand that you were supposed to wait until the end to eat the candy, so by the time we left he had eaten two suckers and a bag of skittles!  He was sooo sugared up!

Heading to Scare on the Square
I should have put him in an Elvis costume with his hair like that!  

The mighty Lion
(can't believe he left the hood on the whole time!) 

A view from behind - heading to the firetruck.

Amazed by the firetruck

Not real happy about sitting on the firetruck

PART TWO

Yes, I know.   There's a part two (or three if you count the morning) to our evening.   We drove home and ate dinner ;  I can't believe Jack actually ate after eating all that candy, but he did.  He changed costumes, Patrick joined us and we left to visit a few houses on our street.  

The green Dinosaur

Probably the only belly bump pic you'll see!

I love how little he looks in this pic.  

First time trick-or-treating

We met some neighbors while out and this is their little girl, Ava.
So cute and Jack loved her!

Not sure what he was saying here, but he looks like he means it!
It's possible this was right after he kissed Ava :)

Grandma met us for some trick-or-treating.
I think Jack was telling her about all the candy!

Our night of trick-or-treating was over,
but there were still so many kids and costumes to look at!

I can't help but think how much more fun this will be in years to come with all our boys!
