Our Halloween

 Oh my gosh.

Isn't the cutest lion ever?!

Those blue eyes, happy smile and double chin!

I think I had the best Halloween ever.

Being a mom is the best.

After work, we got Levi all costumed up and sat on the porch for some "My First Halloween" photos.

He looks like such a big boy sitting by himself with the pumpkins!

 

Then we went to our very first house to trick or treat (Nana and Grandpa's)

Then off to our church's Fall Fest

FYI...Mr. Free NEVER takes a serious pic.

 We didn't get many pics because we were having too much fun.

But here's what we did:

Feasted on hot dogs and chili (Levi loved his hot dog!)

Levi got his face painted

Levi won a cake at the cake walk

Rode on a hayride

Made smores in the bonfire (Levi had his first taste of marshmallow!)

Trunk or Treated! (Levi got LOTS of candy! : ) : )

 He had so much fun!

My heart was just so full!

I have looked forward to my first Halloween as a Mama for awhile and it was so fun.

It's like getting to be a kid again, only better!

Levi is now sleeping soundly after such a fun evening!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Baby's First Pumpkin

Levi had to make a pumpkin this year.

It is his first Halloween after all!

But....I hear it's frowned upon to hand an 8 month old sharp knives and let them hack at a pumpkin.

So....I went another route.

You need:

A baby (the cuter, the better)

A faux pumpkin

Black (WASHABLE!!!) paint

Wet wipes

We stripped Levi down to his diaper.

And, smartly, chose a black diaper....just in case the black paint traveled a bit..

Daddy coated each hand (one at a time!) and put his hand prints in the "eye spots" on the pumpkin.

He then took one of his feet, coated it and firmed placed it in the "mouth spot".

Tada!

A cute little pumpkin face made from your baby's hand and foot prints!

I then wrote on the back

 Just so I don't forget...

I'm so excited to have this every year.

His cute little hands and feet.

Can they stay this little forever?

Wait...that could look super creepy on a grown man I guess....

Levi and his pumpkin.

He's pretty proud : )

Anyone else have any great Halloween activities for little ones?

Haunt the Halls

Since this is Levi's first Halloween, I am going all out.

Really, I plan to go all out for all the holidays.

It's awesome to be a kid again!

So this weekend I decorated for Halloween.

I only like to decorate right before, because they aren't decorations I want to see everyday for a month.

So take a look around our house...

 

Have a spooktacular week!
