Halloween

So we did a lot of Halloweening (is that a word?) this year. Not because I wanted Gavin to have candy, but since it fell right around Owen's arrival, we wanted to make sure that Gavin felt special. Also, Gavin loved his costume (he was Buzz Lighthere as Gavin calls him!) and still wears it around the house so we wanted to give him every opportunity to be Buzz Lighthere!

This was the first time Gavin got to wear his costume. My mom works at a nursing home and they have a trick or treat every year there so he got to go with Grammy, Pap Pap, & Uncle Aaron first this year.

Next came Halloween in Mar Lin with Greg's parents. Greg is still a 3 year old as well and decided to dress up with Gavin. He is real creative - don't you think?

After Mar Lin, was Gavin's Halloween party at Country Cottage Day Care. You will notice that Gavin is shooting his laser. He has such an imagination that had to come from Greg since I have very low creativity!

Finally was actually Halloween. Gavin & Owen participated in Ashland's Halloween parade. It was a beautiful day and Gavin had a blast. There was a pirate ship that had sounds of cannons shooting us, but we need not worry b/c Buzz Lightyear came to our rescue and would "shoot" back with his laser! We felt very safe!

We took a short pitstop at my Gram's so that she could see Gavin's costume and we could get some photos and then it was off to our final trick or treat in Ashland. Even Owen got his first "treat." A sweet lady get stuffed animals for all the little ones that can't have candy. Who says that there are not nice people in the world anymore.

It's amazing how all of the candy suddenly disappeared from our house after that night (and there was A LOT of candy). Luckily my mom has a lot of nurses that needs snacks during the night shift and could use the sugar!
