Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet...






















Trick or Treat was the 30th here this year (please don't ask me why because I don't know, and yes, I think it's silly too), so yesterday was a big day for Max... er, Spongebob.  He started the day dressed as Spongebob for his school's Halloween Parade and ended it dressed as Spongebob for Trick or Treat.


Today was Max's Halloween Party at school.  Xander's mom and I worked together to put on the first party of the year.  PRESSURE!!!  LOL!  We made footprint ghosts, drank lemonade with eye ball ice cubes, and played lots of games.  I will admit that I had a plan for this party, an ORGANIZED plan, but alas I found you cannot be organized with three year olds.  It was chaotic, but they all had a lot of fun. I have a pic of Max at the snack table and a group shot of his class but Blogspot is being rude and not letting me upload it for whatever reason, so I'll add those later I guess.




Happy Halloween!

It's Pumpkin Time!


We took Max to Kleather's this weekend to pick out a few pumpkins.  "Luckily" my mom found a Sleeping Beauty stencil design for Max to carve in his pumpkin this year- thanks Mom!  ha ha.  She also found a prince for him as well, so two pumpkins made it home with us.  Max's favorite part of Kleather's is all the Wizard of Oz decor they have around, including the wicked witch riding her bicycle above the cash register.  He just looks up and stares at her.  Is he scared?  Is he studying her?  Who knows.  He loves it though.  Here are a few pics...

with the Pumpkin Man... (sign said he's Frosty the Snowman's cousin or something?)

Max, as the Tin Man...

About 43" tall this fall!

He wanted to buy this one, of course.

Here is one he got instead...
