Halloween

This year for Halloween we took Connor to a Trunk or Treat that was going on at World gym.  It worked well into our schedule and was reasonable weather. Connor was dressed up as a little monkey and let me just say the costume was perfect for his personality!  It allowed us to get some cute pictures! Connor seemed pretty clueless as to what was going on but at that age it is expected. 

We bought a Pumpkin towards the middle of the month.  The ride home from the store I had to hold the pumpkin so Connor could play with it. He was so excited to hit and touch that big, bright orange thing. After we got home he spent a good while just playing with the pumpkin and trying to eat it.  We tried to carve it later on and that ended badly, of course that was not our fault.  For some reason the pumpkin was really mushy in the inside and extremely stringy. It was pretty disappointing but oh well. 

 Outside of Broulims, one of the grocery stores, they had a stray maze set up for the kids to go through. It was just the perfect spot to take a few pictures of Connor. He was pretty interested in touching the hay and trying to eat it.

 I just think that these pictures are absolutely adorable! I love how huge his smile is in the second pic.  He was crawling after the camera. Man our little guy is always on the go! He'll be walking in no time, he has mastered walking around furniture and is really fast at it! He's not quite 9 months yet either.

 We gave Connor some M&Ms for his first experience with candy. He LOVES them! I didn't realize that the colors would end up running down his face. Look at that huge smile though, he loves chocolate just as much as his mommy!

 For work we had to dress up for our Halloween party.  Seeing how I didn't want to blow $40 on a costume I just made the things in my closet work.  I was some sort of fairy, haha.  It was fun and my classroom and kiddos won for the best decorated room!

We went to the ward Halloween party, well to be honest we didn't have a choice seeing how we are on the committee. We helped to set up and prepare the food.  Adam had to work that night so we basically had time to eat and leave. I wish we would have remembered to take a family photo but oh well. Overall it was a pretty fun time... now on to the better holidays! I have already been listening to Christmas music non-stop!
