We had a pretty fun Halloween this year, all things considered. We started the day out just leaving the house and running a few errands. When we got home, we carved our pumpkins (a little late this year...we left them out a few days after Halloween to get a little more out of them!) I was very surprised at how much Austin enjoyed "carving" his pumpkin. He wasn't hesitant at all to dig right in. He especially loved taking their "hats" off and putting them back on.
Our afternoon/evening went a little something like this:
The boys both took late naps. So the rest of our festivities began later than I had planned. I made some homemade root beer to go with our pumpkin shaped pizza. Austin wouldn't even taste the root beer, but he loved watching it bubble and smoke.
Grammy made Austin's costume this year. I wanted him to be a dinosaur, and he decided that it needed to be red. (Not my first choice of a color for a dinosaur, but how do you resist a cute little boy saying he wants to be a red dinosaur?!? It turned out really cute too) The only problem was that this kid isn't a big fan of costumes. Last year, it took us several weeks of practicing to get him to wear his costume. So, we tried putting it on him a few days before Halloween, and he actually did pretty well with it (once I told him he had to practice "trick or treats" and gave him some marshmallows.)

Trying to get the costume on him on Halloween night. He wasn't very happy about it. He wouldn't wear the whole costume, but we managed to get (and keep) the main part of it on.
We finally made it out of the house (I just ignored the tears, hoping they would stop once he realized what was going on.) Thankfully, he did enjoy getting "trick or treats".
He didn't waste any time getting back into the house once we made it home though!
