Down Home: Happy Halloween

Getting into Halloween was a little harder this year. Maybe the whole newborn thing had something to do with it. We didn't carve pumpkins and we didn't get to the pumpkin patch but we did make some Halloween cupcakes, attend the Halloween party at school and participate in the Somerset parade. So in the grand scheme of things that's not too bad!

This year John Henry was a puppy and Schuler was a baby (with a pumpkin hat). John Henry LOVED the parade because he got to ride in the wagon with his cousin Holland, Schuler slept through the parade, and I got to enjoy my wine as I walked with Jay, Sherridan, and the Calvert family. So in the end it was great time for everyone.

Our little puppy.

Cute cousins.

Our little pumpkin slept through all the festivities in his stroller.

John Henry didn't want to put the candy in his bag. He preferred to hold it.

This was the after picture. I'm not sure what caused John Henry to lose it or why Hunter looks like unhappy. Regardless, I think it's a funny picture.

After the parade we saw sweet Emmaline.

A puppy and Dorthy hugging. Isn't it adorable!!!

John Henry pointing out the real puppies in the parking lot. I'm not joking when I say he LOVES dogs.

The only picture I have of my boys together on Halloween.

On his way up to the first door to trick or treat.

John Henry thought it was pretty cool to take candy out of the basket and put it in his bag. We had to stop him after he took his third piece of candy.

After the first house John Henry looked up at Jay and said, " More Candy". Since he seemed to understand the whole Trick or Treating concept, Jay took him to a few more houses before they made their last stop at Bebe's house. Bebe always has the best candy because he gives out full size candy bars.
