Nate's First Halloween

Sorry this week's posting is a little late...I actually went to the beach this past weekend with three of my high school girlfriends so Michael and Nate got to spend some quality time together. I had a great time but of course missed my boys (this was my first time away overnight) and I think the boys had a ball as well.

Luckily there was still a fun event this week to post about! I debated for weeks about whether to dress him in a costume or not and finally landed on the decision not to. We don't really get that many trick-or-treaters and he starts getting ready for bed around 7 so it just didn't seem worth it to make him cranky in an uncomfortable outfit for a couple of hours. Turns out it was the right decision. But I did get him a little Halloween outfit to wear so he was still festive! Next year we will torture him with the costume and take him around getting candy for ourselves. (Note - you can tell from the pics that he is doing a lot of finger chewing and drooling...so we are assuming he has some teeth that could be making an appearance soon.)

After the Halloween fun, we put him in the bath for his nightly scrub down...he must have gotten a sugar rush from smelling all of the candy because he turned in to a splashing machine tonight! So, we kept taking pics of course! He was getting water everywhere, so Cameron decided to join in the fun. We may need to think about putting him in the tub for baths now.

So, needless to say, after the evenings festivities he was ready for bed...I don't think he made a peep after we laid him down...
