Happy Halloween!

To say that Thatcher has caught onto - and enjoys - this whole Halloween thing would be a huge understatement! While he wasn't totally crazy about his Cookie Monster outfit the first time he wore it, he eventually realized that he was essentially dressed as one of his idols and would receive his very favorite thing - SUGAR! - while wearing it.


Tonight we went to a friend's house to celebrate their son's 2nd birthday and trick or treat. It was the perfect combination of fun and relaxation! Their street got blocked off for a few hours to let the kids trick or treat, which was perfect because it was a limited amount of houses and a fairly controlled and family friendly atmosphere.



The kids had a blast, and Estella was cracking me up in her "fancy shoes" (her words, not mine!) I didn't think she'd make it for the whole adventure wearing those heels, but she managed!



Thatcher was totally into protecting his candy, too. We were not allowed under any circumstances to touch, hold or carry his bucket.







What a fun evening with friends!

I can't believe how grown up he looks! Seriously, T, slow down! Or not. You do have baby sister coming and you have to be the big guy around the house! :) Looks like a fantastic night!

Cutest cookie monster I've ever seen! My son was born just a month before yours. Isn't this such a fun age in their life? Soaking up and repeating everything. Love the blog!
