I hope you all had a great Halloween with lots and lots of sweets!! We sure had fun. We decided to forgo the trick or treating part again this year, as Jack is still a little to young. Instead we got dressed up and visited the grandparents. At the Martin's we ate scary pizza and carved a pumpkin. We had thought that Jack would love to play with the mushy stuff, but it turns out that he wanted nothing to do with it. We visited a few neighbors, that Sean and I got to know well when we lived there. At one of the houses Jack managed to get away with a pumpkin instead of a piece of candy. Then at great Aunt Nina's he loved all of her decorations, especially the sparkly pumpkins.
At the Godfrey's Jack decided that the best part of the evening was when the kids would come to the door. So he took up his post on the porch and waited with the bowl of candy for the kids to come. He loved handing out the candy. He is a hoot.
This is about all he would touch.
He was a little better with the spoon.
He was very excited to go outside and see all of the kids walking around.

This is the only good picture of Jack with his "top" on. You can see how happy he was to have it on.
Here is all three of us.
Lately Jack has been really funny about going to bed. He will go with no fuss as long as he can take his favorite toy from that day along with him. Last week it was a bunch of ballons that Grandma Doris had given him. Then it was his ball or stuffed dog. Tonight it was a little bin full of cars. The funny thing is that they aren't his cars. We went and visited our friends, the Hale's, who just had baby #2 this last weekend; Lucy, and she is so cute and tiny I wanted to bring her home. Anyway Jack was playing with Emma's cars and when it was time to go he secretly put them all away in the bin and then went and stood quietly by the door. He thought he could sneak them out. Sarah graciously let us "borrow" them for the night so we could advoid a meltdown. But when we got home he wouldn't put them down. I changed him into his pj's while he clung to them for dear life. Then of course they ended up in the crib. It just makes me laugh, and don't worry I always remove the item before I go to bed.
Jack couldn't resist sneaking under the rope to get closer to the pumpkins.
As you can tell he wasn't really fond of the witches, and no he wasn't exactly excited to be standing by one of them either.
He loved standing by the big pumpkin, but since he had a crowd watching him he was pulling his "I am to cool" for this face.
After Gardner's Village we decided to stop by and see how baby Ava was doing. After about a half an hour Jack fell asleep on the couch. Something he NEVER does. I guess he had to much excitement for one morning.
