Our Halloween festivities began on Thursday evening with carving our pumpkin. Nico is really into Elmo these days, so we decided to attempt an Elmo jack-o-lantern. I thought Nico would really get involved in digging the guts out of the pumpkin. Nope. Below is how he entertained himself while David emptied the pumpkin.

Coming to check on the progress.
Such a good papa!

Finished product. My husband is a pumpkin carving genius!!! Those power tools really came in handy!
Friday evening, we hosted a party for all of Nico's friends and their mommies and daddies. It turned out really well. The house was a little messy by the end of it, but it was totally worth it. I think Mattie really enjoyed being on crumb patrol :)
Trying to get a picture of Nico with the pumpkin.
Not the best picture of Nico, just wanted to show Mattie's costume...yes, she was a skunk!
Tried to get a group shot of all/most of the kids in their costumes. This was much easier last year when most of them couldn't walk :)
Saturday evening we took Nico on his very first Trick-or-Treating excursion. We hit about 7 or 8 houses in the neighborhood. He was a little hesitant at the first house, but he quickly got the hang of it. By he end of our journey, he was grabbing as many pieces of candy as he could get his little hands on. He got some yummy candy, too. Halloween candy: a bonus for being a mommy! I love me some candy!!!
Ever heard a giraffe say, "Cheese"?!?!

Riding in style!
