Halloweenie, Part Deux

Well, it seems that holidays like Halloween only get more and more fun with a little one around.  We had a great time with MP2 this year, and he doesn't even realize that Halloween is all about candy (yet...I know the time will come).

We attended the same downtown trick-or-treating event as last year and had even more fun.  MP2 loved just walking around and looking at all of the other kids in costume.  He also loved the dinosaur/dragon (he was called both, and we're not too certain that he looked more like one than the other - luckily, they both say "ROAR!!" which is on MP2's short vocab list)

It's a bird, it's a plane!  Oh, wait - really pointing at nothing makes MP2 smile.

Heading back to the car on MP's shoulders - if we'd waited for MP2 to get there on his own, we'd still be walking...he's not breaking any land speed records (not yet, anyway :))

Between Halloweenie on Friday evening, and the actual day of Halloween, MP2 enjoyed sporting the dino-dragon jacket around, getting good use out of something that otherwise would have been worn less than 3 hours total.  We were skyping with the Pulles and wanted to show off the costume, and when we tried to take it off, MP2 started crying.  And, yes, that is a plastic measuring cup.  I promise he has lots of toys, but we spend a LOT of time hanging out in the kitchen. 

More kitchen time, getting ready to go out pseudo-trick or treating.  We decided to just drop by a few neighbors' houses and show off our little reptile, and then come home and hand out candy.  Again, MP2 was super interested in seeing the bigger kids, and he loved running around outside in his costume. 

Here are the obligatory shots with MP and I

MP2's BFF, also known as the Farmer in the Dell.  We're making some progress here - we got them both to look at the camera.  Next, will be trying to get them to look and smile...a tall order!

Who needs candy when we can play with toy trains??

We really had fun, and I am so excited for the coming holiday season.  Seeing MP2 growing and changing and enjoying all of these experiences is more fun than I ever would have imagined.
