hallow's eve!










this year we spent halloween with our friends eating mummy hotdogs, making evil graham cracker houses, and carving pumpkins.

Beckham likes to try to blow out all the candles or touch the fire instead of enjoying the pumpkin splendor. Oh, and SOCKS WITH SANDALS. I'm turning into my dad!

p.s. do you recognize Nick's pumpkin? spooky scary!

we had an "Operation get Beckham Walking Before Halloween"  this past month, and it was almost a success. He can totally walk on his own (even though he didn't want to because walking up to doors is scary, I understand) but we tried getting him to trick-or-treat, and he almost did! his favorite part was the candy, and like a good mom I let him eat a whole fun-size kitkat by himself (pat on the back.)

I may have let him have some candy with his breakfast this morning too (oops) but what am I supposed to do? be a "good mom" and give him a "healthy breakfast" after halloween? come on. that's not the spirit of the season!

also, this halloween marked the 6 year anniversary of OUR FIRST DATE.

also, also, I'm not super excited about taking my bats down in the living room... but creepy flying things just don't seem to go with November, you feel?

    1. That's a good idea! I was thinking that or maybe a homemade tapestry? Or some pinecones, or feathers? Haha, I don't know. I totally feel you, I can't wait for next year to take him trick-or-treating for real!

    1. Stop, that's so nice of you! I always have the hardest time when they get this long, like do I trim them or let them grow out? Ah!
