Happy Halloween!

We had a very busy Halloween. Lon went back and forth on what he wanted to be for Halloween. A knight in shining armor, Curious George, a pirate. Those were all in play. Then on the Wednesday before Halloween, we were at Sweet Caroline's, and he picked out the fire fighter costume! Who knew? It was a great pick, he could wear warm clothes underneath, wear boots and it was a raincoat too! How cool!

On our way to the Pee-Wee Monster Bash. Every year North Kirkland Community Center puts on a Pee Wee Monster Bash for the Under 5 crowd. It sells out every year.

Waiting in the rain for the doors to open. This year we had to drive up since the weather was awful. We left really early to get a decent spot. We did, but Lon wanted to get out of the car faster than they opened the doors.

Our little monkey. He did not want to wear his coat for awhile, eventually he put it back on. At the PeeWee Monster Bash they give you tickets for each event. That makes it fair, everyone gets a shot at each game and gets prizes for each game. The cookie from the cookie walk were really good! Lon gave me a nibble.

The basketball toss. This one gave Lon a little bottle of bubbles. One of Lon's favorite things! Except in the bathtub. Not a fan of bubblebath!

Lon put his costume back on and played pin the eye on the monster! For this game, he got a paddle ball! I was never very good at those. I don't think I ever met anyone who was.

The baby gym room was all set up, and Lon loved it. He had lots of fun. The next stop we made was the cool down room. Lon finished his cookie, had some apple juice and watched Monsters, Inc. for a while. He was getting overwhelmed. Everyone was. There were lots and lots of kids. We saw lots of friends! (Ty, Alex, Jacky, Lon liked that)

After the Pee Wee Monster Bash we came home, relaxed a little. When Daddy came home, he took Lon up to the store and Mommy set up Giaganto Pumpkin. Lon was NOT pleased that Mommy did not wait for him to help. He was pleased when I let him put the candles and cinnamon into out carved pumpkin.

Daddy helping Lon get ready to go out. We went out at 6pm. Which was not too early, just the right time for Lon. He walked almost a 1/3 of a mile in search of candy.

Lon and all his candy. There was LOTS.

What our pumpkin looked like lit.
