Halloween Festivities!

 We are SO lucky we've had lots of fun Halloween festivities lately!  These first pics are from Daddy's office.  We went to his office to trick-or-treat and then went to a Halloween party at the gym across the street.

Ahoy, Mate!

We had a little trial run with our Halloween costumes this week. We had some buddies over to play in costume. We got all ready that morning and I kept asking Mommy if I had my whole costume. Mommy said, "yes, you've got your hat, eye patch, treasure map, sword... what else could you need?" And I said, "What about my parrot??" Yikes, Mommy didn't think of that! So we made our own Polly quick and I loved wearing Polly on my shoulder all day!

Here's my treasure map. Daddy burned the edges to make it look real authentic. I told Mommy that my buried treasure in the backyard was full of "lots of cookies and candy!"

Big boy pirate and baby pirate! Isn't he the cutest baby pirate ever?

Max wanted me to have a moustache too, but I didn't really want one. Mommy drew one on me but I wanted her to take it off. I wasn't too sure about the moustache. Maybe for actual Halloween I'll let Max and Mommy draw one on me.

Mommy even wore a pirate outfit too! I wasn't too sure about the big gold earring, so I had Mommy wear that.

My nice friends in their fun costumes - Annie the bee, Max the pirate, Cole the pirate, Maya the bunny, Nolan the dinosaur, Charlotte the strawberry and Brady the shark!

Brady's mom made these cute skeleton cupcakes for us!

This morning I got to shave with Daddy. Mommy couldn't resist getting pics since we were practically in matching jammie pants too!

"I want to grow up big and strong like Daddy!"

We got a new hand me down table from Great Grandma & Great Grandpa Johnson. Now even Max can sit at the big table and I really wanted him to sit by me at dinner tonight. He loved being big like me!

Pumpkin Express!

Last Sunday, we went on the Pumpkin Express with Connor! It was the first train ride for Max and me on a real, big train! We had such an awesome time! It was in Belton, MO. They took us out on the train to a little area where they had games and pumpkins set up. We played there and then headed back. There are lots of pics here, but there were so many cute ones Mommy wanted to make sure I added.

Connor and I liked standing on the caboose.

I'm driving the train!

Getting ready to board! Max felt like such a big boy sitting with us!

I absolutely love giving Max hugs and kisses every chance I get!

Sweet, sweet cousins!

Connor and Max having a chat.

I made ghostie cookies to bring for us to snack on for the train ride.

The boys!

The train was all decorated for Halloween too!

Max LOVED the train ride!

Connor and I played bags together.


Max also loves pumpkins!

Me and the conductor! I was playing a fishing game that was pretty cool too.
