Aarrggg! Happy Halloween!

This year, we went to San Diego to celebrate Halloween. We had fun doing all sorts of Halloween activities and spending time with family! ONE HUGE BUMMER: So LAST YEAR I got Tommy an Ocean Fishing trip for his birthday. Well, we decided that it was about time to take the trip! So, Tommy made all the necessary arrangements and had everything all planned out. He and his friend Greg show up at 6 in the morning to go and the guy tells them that they didn't get enough people to fill the boat so the trip was canceled!!!! What a bummer... I felt soo bad for Tommy who has been looking forward to that for the last year and a half! Luckily, a few nights later he was able to go Lobster fishing. They didn't catch anything but it is all about the experience right? :)
So, anyway, on Friday, after Tommy got back from NOT fishing, we went to a little carnival with our friends Greg and Allison.

Tommy took Maddox into one of those bounce house things. Maddox was to small to go in himself so Tom had to go. I love the picture of Maddox coming out and when his whole body comes down the slide his shirt is half way off and he is missing a shoe. What happened in there?!

This is Maddox being a BIG boy on the BIG kid swings!

Friday night we went out to eat, went to Trunk or Treat (SO much fun!) and then came home and carved pumpkins and watched a scary movie!

The finished products!

This is on Saturday. This was a big day setting up the Hainline's house for all the kids to come. I love that they deck the house out! Maddox wanted to help daddy out in the picture.

So, after a failed attempt to be both Mickey Mouse and a little puppy (he didn't like having anything on his head) we settled on a little pirate costume. Some how when it was really time to go trick or treating he did actually wear the hat... who knew.

We had to get him excited about it!

....because he wasn't very excited about it!

but he finally got the hang of it and had SO much fun. He would walk up to the door and say "please" and the people would let him just dig in to the candy bowls. He got the hang of things after 2 or 3 houses and LOVED it!

This is the final picture of the night... all tuckered out and enjoying the fruits of his labors!
