Oh, Halloween.... you were a trip. Lots and lots of rain, a teething baby who hadn't napped all day, a trillion people to pay trick-or-treat visits to (most of whom we didn't actually get to - sorry if we ended up missing you this year!), and I was doing it all on my own. Who knows what I was thinking!
I think Will mostly had a good time, and I know the people we did stop and see enjoyed getting some Will snuggles! He was a spoiled little baby and got lots of trick-or-treat surprises - lucky baby :)
I couldn't even get Will to sit still for a picture in his monkey costume. I was so excited about this costume I whipped together, and I couldn't even get a picture of him in it. I
really, really need to learn to stop having such high expectations for holidays and events and just go with the flow. It will make everyone happier, especially me. These are the pictures I ended up with before we went out for the night:
busy monkey crawling away!
sad, crying monkey because i made him sit down (yes, i feel like a jerk)
three seconds of being still so i could get a blurry picture! this costume had a monkey tail that i sewed, but do you think i could get him to stand up so i could take a picture of it? no way! he was all rubber legs mcgee last night.
sliiiiiiding off great grandma's lap :)
getting a trick-or-treat surprise from aunt biz! (thanks for the picture, uncle randy!)
my friend lindsey made this cute little felt banana to go with will's halloween costume. couldn't you just die? in the craziness of getting ready to go out on halloween, i forgot it at home. bummer!
Luckily we had gone to Plymouth's Halloween event earlier this month and had gotten some cute pictures of Will in his monkey costume then!
Thanks to everyone who helped make William's first Halloween special! Sorry again if we didn't make it to you, let us know if you want a special post-Halloween visit. :)
