Carving pumpkins becomes a more difficult feat once there are kiddos involved. Cannon's short attention span and early bedtime challenges us to get pumpkins carved quickly.
We attempted the cute idea of carving leg holes in a pumpkin for Cannon to sit in....he was not a fan. This usually happy baby was in tears after sitting for just a few seconds to take a picture. He was more content to play with his own "cannonball pumpkin" (appropriately chosen for him) and to chew on the discarded scrapes of carved pumpkin.
The day before Halloween the company i work for, Melaleuca, puts on a big trick-or-treat path for employees to bring their families to. My department was a traditiinal halloween theme so i was a witch for the day (the guys i work with tease me that Im a witch every day). :) our family costume, however, was for Anthony and I to be Mac Geniuses and Cannon was an ipad. unfortunatley, we didnt get a picture of all of us in our coordinating costumes, but here you can see Anthony and Cannon supporting dad's affinity for Apple. :)
On Halloween day Cannon dressed up twice more. For daycare Cannon wore his cute cowboy onside and boots from Aunt Liz and Uncle Mike, as well as his coonskin hat that Grandpa John gave him. He was very happy in his wild frontier western wear. :)
To go trick-or-treating Cannon was a superhero (in training). We didnt actually trick-or-treat, rather we just enjoyed walking through the neighborhood seeing everyone's decorations and costumes.
There is one house down the street from us that goes all out for the holidays. They put out life size decorations and have a music and light show synchronized with their decor. I told Anthony that some day I want to be "that house." The house that brings each holiday to life. For now though, I did my best to decorate our cute little townhome to show our festive spirit.
