Good times...

My wonderful little mikey, who is now 3 years old, has been saying the funniest things lately. I posted the blog about the "punkie patch", and when it came time to carve those pumpkins, Mikey crawled up on the kitchen table and puts his arms around the pumpkin and says " Mom, I love this pumpkin!"

So after this 10 minute love story about him and his pumpkin he says, " mom, you take a picture of us?" Like the pumpkin is someone he knows.

Now the pumpkin's have been carved and it's time to go trick or treating. Mikey has been straying from his first true love, Lightening McQueen, and been spending more time with his new Toy Story movie. We went to get his costume and he picked out 3. Buzz Light Year, Woody, and Sponge Bob. After much thought, he looks up at me and says " Mom, I be Woody." Who can say no to that? So long story short, Mikey was Woody and baby Garrett was a pumpkin. Mikey wore his costume almost everyday before Halloween. He would have slept in it if I let him. Here he is playing with Ariana on her birthday all dressed up and waiting for a gun fight. He was so excited to have a shooting gun like a real cowboy.

Garrett's costume was really fluffy around his belly and when he would sit down, he was less than pleasent. He is not much of a hat kid, but he did great with his hat for his costume. So I will now unveil the great halloween pumpkin, Baby Garrett!!!

Like I said, he wasn't the happiest kid when he was sitting, but he sure is the cutiest little pumpkin! Just a little side note, that huge pink smear on my wall is finger nail polish. That is a whole other story I will have to let you in on another day. Any way, we load everyone into the car and off to day care we go for the party. They had a costume parade, and trip to the pumpkin patch, and a trick or treat around the center. All in all, I think they had a good time. Halloween night, I got home late from work. Anyone who grew up in Nevada can share my disappointment in the fact that I had to work on Nevada day. I think we were the only doctors office in Nevada that was open. Boo :( Anyway, off we went to go trick or treating. We went with my friend Krysta and her family. Her son Mathew is a year older than Mikey and they are best friends. Mat says to me on day " Auntie Emmy, Mikey is my brother from another mother." He cracks me up. Mat was the incredable hulk, and was he so cute.

I pushed Garrett around in the stroller, and when we got to a house, he would get out and walk up to the door with the big boys. When I would put him back in the stroller, he would sit there with his bucket of candy, very content. So imagine my suprise when we take this picture. He is so sneeky!

He looks like he has been busted! Eating the chocolate in the dark! Needless to say, this halloween was great. The boys really enjoyed their costumes, had a great time trick or treating, and had a great day hanging out with their dad.
