We had lovely Halloween, it was nice and sunny and warm, we spent the afternoon playing in the sandbox.
We had to take a few (dozen) more photos of the Halloween costumes. Sadly I couldnt find helium filled balloons anywhere so we had to go without them this time.
I had to get at least one photo of Mr. Frederickson with his glasses on... not one smile, not one tearfree photo, in fairness I think he was starting to get sick, but at the time I just thought he was really a grump. This time around we decided to go with the white hairspray, so at least he really looked like an old man when he ditched the glasses and walker.
trying to get him to smile while chatting with Em didnt even help... nothing helped him
He was thrilled when he figured out how to get the glasses off... see the smiles. Yeah the glasses werent hurting he, he was just angry.
What a sweet tiny old man. The hairspray washed off right away, dont worry, no babies were harmed.
He may not have liked wearing the glasses, but boy did he love running with them and shouting "no!".
We had a monster front door this year. So easy, I need to remember to do it again next year.
Love the elbow patches on the sweater.
See the glasses arent actually evil
Awesome festive pumpkins. Brian's was so funny because in the daytime it had a huge nose, but at night... nothing... I think I have better photos somewhere.
We needed a few photos this time around of Mr. Frederickson and Kevin where the full effect of Kevin could be experienced. We had to take a few to get a good one. At first he was devastated that Daddy/Russell was taking the photos instead of holding him.
but then he got over it. Dont you just love the Kevin costume? Not to brag or anything, but I thought iiit was so funny, especially given my aversion to wearing bright colors.
See it is possible to Michael to smile, and even be happy. Poor guy was probably feeling pretty crummy at this point. Dont worry he perked up with the first lollypop.
Get ready there are quite a few Mommy/Mikey photos. It turns out we have to take a LOT to get one good one (really that is my fault not the photographer).
We needed a few more photos of Russell and Mr. Frederickson. You would think this would have made him happy, but no the transition from Mommy to Daddy made him a little angry.
Dont worry he got over it pretty quick. Dont they look so much alike? I think they do.
Especially when they both have a happy face.
He was over pictures... poor only child
Brian tried to reason with him.
But he is 1 so that didnt work out too well.
Then Kevin came back. And had a scary face, but look at cute Mr. Frederickson.
He wanted to be free, so I finally relented. See the awesome pumpkin face? It was a couple days old by the time we took this photo, but it was a cool one.
Yes, by the time we took this photo Kevin was just the tiniest bit over Halloween and exhausted. Mr. Frederickson, well he was over Halloween at 1 that afternoon.
See what I mean, over it.
He loved walking down the street with Daddy, you know in preparation for trick or treating (which he did in the stroller).
He wanted to run in the street, what a mean Daddy to stop him.
We thought it looked like he was dancing in this picture, in reality he was running down the driveway, but it looks like he knows some sweet dance moves.
he thinks the driveway is fun/funny.
He wanted to run away... yes that is right, run, not walk, stroll, or crawl, run away into the street with the traffic.
The kevin costume took some time to make, I had to document it well.
we attached the walker to his stroller... which he hated... and lasted 1 house.
Overall, we had a lovely Halloween. We went trick or treating with our fun friends (who managed toe scape the camera), and we were home and in bed (well Mikey) but 8. Oh lovely. Now on to the next holiday. Happy Halloween, Bring on the Turkey!
