Our baby's first Halloween and I slacked off. I had started thinking of costumes weeks ago, but Adam thought I was overthinking the whole thing, then we went to Tulsa and came back the day before Halloween so my ideas were a no-go. Luckily Grandma saved the day since she had already gotten him a jack-o-lantern shirt, pants, and bib, and we topped it off with a jack-o-lantern hat we picked up at Target. (By the way, I don't miss a lot from the US besides our families, but when I walk though the door at Target I think I hear Handel's Hallelujah Chorus).
We had Lucy, Eric, and Emma (aka vaquita, the little cow) over for pizza and candy. We carved the pumpkin and hung out on the patio enjoying our nice cool weather (ie, not 80's anymore in the evening).
The last two pictures show Ike's overstuffed playpen and him first thing in the morning.
