Boo!

This year we went trick or treating as a family of zombies with their little baby pumpkin.  :)

 It's tough trick or treating on a school day/night.  Molly gets home at 4.  She had homework!  It was a mad dash to get homework done costumes on and get out the door. 

 We went trick or treating with friends.  The kids in the car on the way over.

 Every time I got anywhere near Lincoln with makeup he'd run away.  I did get a little on him.

 This year we were trick or treating with 7 other kids.  Molly was the first one to every house with Gabe on her heels.  When the other kids were ready to go home Molly was disappointed wanting to do more.  I'm pretty sure Molly would go house to house all night.

 Lincoln and I were at the end of the pack.  Lincoln is Mr. Independent.  He wanted to walk to every house and he didn't want anyone touching his basket.  It was really cute watching him.  Next year I'm sure he'll be at the front with Molly and Gabe (well until his basket gets too heavy).

My favorite moment of the night.  We went up to a house that had 5+ scary dummies all over the front yard.  One of the homeowners was out among the dummies dressed in all black with a hockey mask on.  He was slowly moving around enough to notice if you were playing attention.  M & G like most of the other kids noticed him, but didn't pay too much attention, got their candy and left.  A couple of the kids were scared and didn't want anything to do with the house.  Then there was Lincoln who tried to go through the yard to get to the man.  I guess in his mind adult=candy.  He didn't care who gave him his candy he just wanted it.  It took a lot of work to get him on the porch where the candy was actually being passed out.

trick or treat

Every weekend in October you can go trick or treating at the zoo.  The first two weekends of the month are free to zoo members.   We were lucky the first weekend in October was beautiful.  Mid 70's perfect to be out and about even with a one week old.  :)  Simon's first real outing not counting Dr appointments.

Simon wore his Halloween onsie that says "don't scare me I poop easily"  Ha!  Hands down Molly's favorite.  Everyday she says asks if it's clean.

 Lincoln loved walking to the candy booths as far as taking pictures...  not so much.  Molly and Gabe on the other hand wanted a picture with EVERYONE.  Since it was opening night it was pretty empty so I was happy to oblige.

 The next weekend we had friends who were going.  Again the weather was perfect so we tagged along.  We figured since Lincoln did so well and walked last time we wouldn't worry about a stroller this time.  Well it took a good 20+ minutes to get into the zoo this time.  It was packed.  Lil man fell asleep before we even made it in.  He slept the majority of the time and he's heavy.

 Molly living it up under the disco ball.  This time she went as Taylor Swift.  While she danced I was placed on microphone duty.

 Gabe was a pirate.  Arrrr.
