Halloween Fun

We celebrated Halloween in three installments this year. We went and got dressed up to visit Adam in his classroom on Friday. It was a dress rehearsal for the costumes so to say. I made Corbin's costume this year. I felt like a regular old Martha Stewart! Because I am not too crafty or talented with the sewing machine or pattern's etc. I kinda just made it up as I went along. His crown turned out pretty good but I coulda made the velcro part better. His cape also turned out ok but it was too small. Oh and my sewing machine broke right in the middle of making it! So I had to use some of that iron on hem stuff. An amateur job for sure but Corbin didn't seem to care!

Mr. "Shaver" and his little Ellie bug.

What a cute little bug!

Then we carved pumpkins after a melt down at the pizza place. We ended up coming home instead of eating at the restaurant. Poor Corbin has a HUGE cold sore or gash on his tongue. He has been complaining about his teeth but we finally figured out it wasn't his teeth but his tongue. It has been hurting him while he eats. Poor little guy. Candy didn't make it any better but he seemed to ignore some of the pain in order to eat candy :-)

Baby in a pumpkin!

This is Corbin's pumpkin. He dictated what he wanted it to look like. Square eyes, small nose, and three teeth with a not scary smile.

Adam's pumpkin has a case of the chicken pox.

Then on Saturday night we went downtown to tricker treat with Brody. It was fun to see Corbin get the hang of saying "tricker-treat" this year and knowing what it meant. He figured it out real quick.

Corbin and his Mariner buddy!

One of the first pieces of candy he got was a tootsie pop, which turned out the be the perfect candy to start with. It lasted him the whole time. He didn't get to eat anything else because he was still working on this one. Then the candy monster took the rest of his candy (he only had like 7-10 pieces). He didn't ask for any of it today...

Then today on actual Halloween we went down to Fairhaven to tricker treat down there and meet more friends. We met Corbin's other sports buddy Alden on their way out. Go USA soccer!

We then met up with Luca, Maya, Ruby, and a few other friends.

Corbin spotted the fire truck from blocks away. It was probably one of the highlights. He just stared at the firemen. He offered them his lolly pop too. He was so sugar dazed he just stood there staring at them for a long time! We didn't have quite as much luck with the little amount of candy this time...

We had fun! After Fairhaven we went to Adam's soccer game. Corbin ran off all his sugar while Adam played. He was all sugared up, dirty, and wanted to know when he could go tricker treating again :-) In other news, Eliza is starting to giggle and blow bubbles. Of course we can't get either on video yet but this is pretty cute!
