Happy Halloween Part I


Last night we started celebrating Halloween by going to "Boo at the Zoo." Joshua refused to wear his costume, but he had so much fun. He loved the dancing most of all...although the pic below is not that good, you can see the look of pure joy on his face.

This morning I convinced him to wear his costume to school for their Halloween party. "Curious George" was on TV and I used it as a motivational factor---"Joshua - do you want to be a monkey like George" - He said. "OK" - his word for yes. The sucker from his trick or treating last night helped as well. Yes, I know a sucker at 8:30 a.m. is not one of my best Mommy moments, but I didn't have the heart to rip it from his hands when he saw his bag from the night before. Lesson learned - hide the candy from the Halloween. :)





Tonight we join some friends for some neighborhood trick or treating....more to come...

The picture in the carseat is wonderful. I know he is having some tough "two" times, but I can tell you're doing a great job. En-joythe est of the holiday! Love always GrandMoM in Philly. btw I just watched the Phillies Victory parade on TV. This town has gone wild.

Where's Halloween, Part II?

It's been a week, and still no pics of his first trick or treat?!

Sadistic, I say.

Technical difficulties. The pics are stuck on my camera...I have no cord and the camera is the only device that will now read a messed up memory card.

Halloween pics soon to come. I promise anonymous.

Kristen, if you can't get the pictures out of your camera take the camera to a camera store that deals with cameras and maybe they may find a way to retrieve them...
