Halloween!

Have I ever mentioned Jed and I are procrastinators? Yup, that we are, we are procrastinators. Last year we literally waited till the day before Halloween to get James' costume. There was literally only one costume in his size in the whole store. He had no choice but to be a teddy bear. It ended up up for the best though, cause look how cute he was...

Cutest teddy bear ever!!

This year we did a little better. We had already looked in stores and found nothing so 6 days before Halloween, we ordered his costume from Toy-R-Us. We got it the Friday before Halloween. Talk about cutting it close!  We ordered the Yoda costume, but someone has a bit of a big head, and the ears wouldn't fit, so he was just a regular old Jedi :)

My sweet Jedi :)

We started out the festivities by going to a big trunk-or-treat downtown the day before Halloween. There were TONS of people there, and he wasn't quite digging that.

 He made Daddy carry him most of the way. He didn't like all those people :(

He liked that they were putting "stuff" in his bucket though :)

 Daddy and James...a.k.a Jed's mini-me :)

 They were offering free hot dogs and chili. NEVER have I been able to get him to eat a hot dog...

but he did that day!!! Whoo hoo!!

The actual night of Halloween we went to another trunk-or-treat. This one was at a friend's church. This time we made him walk!

 Not so sure what to do..

Ooh, you are putting "stuff" in my basket. I like you! :)

More "stuff" please lol

Once he figured out all these people were putting candy in his basket he would take off as soon as one person would put the candy in the bucket to the next. He loved it!

At the Glencoe fire-station trunk-or-treat

 He loved the fire truck!

He really enjoyed chatting with the pretty fairy :)

We ended the night at one of Jed's former co-worker's houses. James really enjoyed their daughter's John Deere tractor :)

I can't believe we have now celebrated TWO Halloweens with our little guy! It's hard to imagine he's going to be in 2 in just a few shorts months. Loving every minute with our little man!!
