Halloween Weekend

Even though we had a rainy Halloween, we still had a really great time. The weather put a damper on some of the plans we had but Grandpa Dale came in to town and we still got to go out trick or treating. Nate really got in to it and enjoyed going from house to house and getting candy!

Just like last year, I decided to go with a homemade costume plus a back up. I made him a mummy costume that I actually kinda liked (not sure if this picture does it justice) but I didn't get to finish the top of the pants so I happily let him be a cute little cowboy instead. Here are a couple of pics of him in costume but I added an album with lots more to the right...

The day before Halloween Nate and I played hooky from school and work and went to Wesley Kate's 2nd Bday Halloween Party. I loved having a mommy day and getting to actually go to a play date with everyone and Nate loved wearing his hat and playing with his friends that he doesn't get to see enough.

After the party, I took him to my office to meet everyone (he hadn't been there since he was 6 wks old) and see the pumpkin carving contest. Unfortunately, we got so wrapped up in Nate making his rounds that I didn't take any pictures. He had fun with everyone but now I think he thinks that mommy just goes to play at the office every day (don't I wish!)!

The Sunday after Halloween was gorgeous so Nate got to play with Amanda at her neighborhood Fall Festival. Here is a picture of them just hanging out on the curb (they sat there on their own) waiting on a hot dog and in deep discussion about something.

I am trying to catch up on my postings so hopefully I will have more on the way very shortly!

PS - Welcome to the world Baby Maggie Cibula! I was holding the little (well, not so little - 8 lbs 10 oz) beauty the whole time I was visiting at the hospital so I never thought to take a picture (I am really slacking on my photographer duties!) but she was just so sweet. It brought back all of the memories of being in the hospital with Nate...and I can't believe we will be doing it all again in 5 short months!! Congrats Paula and Clay...can't wait to see her again!
