Halloween

The Cowboy Jones family had a great Halloween! N insisted that we all dress up and it was a lot of fun. We went over to some friends' house with a few other families and had a cookout then took a hayride around the neighborhood. The boys had a lot of fun trick or treating and taking in all of the costumes. This was the first year the M really understood what to do and he was cute to watch. He had no fear and just walked right up to the houses and stuck out his hand or bucket. He always stood there afterwards to say "Da" (Thank you) which was funny. N had a ball and went so fast that I really had trouble keeping up with him. Thankfully we were with a big group so we had lots of helpers!

I had talked to the boys quite a bit about Halloween and how we really enjoy dressing up, getting candy, and celebrating Fall, but that Mommy and Daddy do not like all of the scary and distatesful aspects of the holiday. On the way there, I told N about the fact that he would probably see some scary costumes and some decorations that were not nice, but that he should just ignore them and tell Mommy and Daddy if he was scared. The first house we went to, there was a boy dressed up like a skeleton and N said (in his VERY loud voice), "Mommy, EWWW yook, dere is a boy dwessed up in a berry yucky costume!" My friends all got a kick out of that!

Cowboy N and M... N did his whole outfit all by himself and wanted to look like Woody from Toy Story.

N told me right after this picture that he was ready to go home... He looks so tired!
