Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween. It is one of my very favorite holidays. I was especially excited about it this year, because I have an adorable little baby that I got to dress up. I went back on forth on a few different ideas for what I wanted him to be. But then I found this little gem of a costume for only $10! I was sold. That is the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my entire life. EVER.
So, I like my halloween costumes to go together, or to have a theme. After we got Liam his costume, I was still undecided as what our theme should be. Should we do jungle? Zookeeper and Lion? Conor was the one who came up with our wonderful idea........




Welcome to the Circus! I found my costume in bits and pieces. Old dance pants. Top from the DI, and hat and feather from a party store. ( I also got a whip for my lion training, but it's not pictured.) Conor was either going to be a Bearded Lady or World's Strongest Man. But since he's not a huge fan of Halloween and I ran out of time, he got to be an audience member of the Circus. ( I will make everything part of the theme!)

We started the festivities off with a ward Trunk or Treat. It was good to get out and see all the little neighbor kiddos dressed up. Easy too, to get it all done in one parking lot.


On Halloween, Liam and I went with my sisters to Pack's Pumpking Patch. Liam loved it. He loved being outside. He loved the pumpkins. He even picked out his own. Courtney took him into the "corn" maze and he laughed the whole time!






Crawling all over the pumpkins!



He loved riding in the cart with the pumpkins!



And this was him, trying to climb out!



We got our pumpkins all carved and put out on the porch. This year was the best pumpkin carving year for me. Usually I give up halfway through and my pumpkin looks demented, not it a cool demented halloween way. In a blind folded three year old must have carved this kind of way.





Mine and Liam's pumpkins

If you look closely, we made Liam's pumpkin spitting up!














Dad joined us for the fun after he got out of class. We took Liam up and down the street. He was so adorable and started trying to pick out his own candy.

It was so fun to have Liam to celebrate Halloween this year. We hope you all had a very

Happy Halloween!
