BOO!

This past weekend was Ayden's 2nd Halloween....and I have NOT a single picture of him dressed up all cute in a little costume.  There are two reasons for this:

1) mommy is NOT creative and even though Ayden's request to be a ghost was heaven sent, the whole cut a hole in a pillow case and throw it on him didn't go quite as planned.  I started to think that he looked more like a member of the KKK than a cute cuddly little Casper.

but what I like to think is the REAL reason we didn't dress him up is,

2) he was not feeling so hot =(  (perhaps a blessing in disguise - one more year of peace and quiet before many many many years of intricate costume needs and sugar highs)

HOWEVER!!!!  Never fear there are still pictures to share...

We did make a trip out to Bucklew Farm with two of Ayden's friends, Dash and Audrey!

This cutie is Audrey!  She actually kept those cat ears on the whole time!!

Three kids....three different directions....

My little bug :)

What a helper!

Gabi and Dash

We went into the petting zoo and Ayden got to pet a rabbit, llama, donkey, goat...and chase some ducks.  He didn't want to leave.  All I could think was thank goodness for sanitizing hand wipes!!

While Ayden didn't want anything to do with his stroller, Dash was happy to take a load off for a while ;)  Smart kid!

Yes Ayden....that is your father...

My boys!!  And their tiny pumpkin from the picked over pumpkin patch.

Doesn't he look like a little pumpkin himself???

Poor J didn't realize we weren't actually pumpkin picking, so he was sad to leave this perfect find.

It is now officially memorialized forever!

Ayden loved this pole of pumpkins...more so, he loved trying to knock it down.  

Thankfully we were not successful!!

Ayden and his Mimi!

Attempting to get a picture of the kids together...

I just Looooove this picture!!

I think this means we can claim SUCCESS!

The aftermath...
