Happy Halloween!


For Halloween this year Noah was going to be a duck but after I realized that he was going to scream bloody murder every time I put the fuzzy costume on him we went with plan B. Instead he dressed up as his favorite Playhouse Disney character, Handy Manny. He put on some jeans and we made a little toolbelt and called it a day. He loved walking around wearing his tools and carrying his plastic pumpkin. However, the pumpkin didn't stay full for long. Once Noah realized that it was candy that people had put in there he proceeded to grab pieces and eat as he went along. Wes and I were unaware that he was such an expert at unwrapping candy! Anyway, Noah had a great time until the older (and louder) kids started coming out - he was not very fond of them and kept giving them glaring looks. By then he was tired anyway, so at 7:15 we called it a night and went home. Noah had a bath and went to bed, and Wes and I did what all good parents do - we ate our son's candy!

When it got dark we used the frog lantern that Bebe sent to light our way.
One very tired Handy Manny!

Noah looks so grown up - looks like he discovered sugar at its best last night. Glad Froggy could shed some light. Sounds like Kelly and Wes have the whole eating the child's candy down already.
