Halloween was filled with emotion as we headed out to trick or treat the evening before on the square downtown. Owen was not excited about being a lion, but really enjoyed getting and eating candy. Aunt Monica posed with the boys before we started to trick or treat.
Aunt Jeanne helped calm Owen down.
We hit the streets with Grandma & Grandpa.
We met up with our friend, Jack Sternberg and his family for trick-or-treating. Jack was a cute pirate!
The boys got around the square without injury, and oddly enough, Lewis has decided he loves Twix and chocolate in general. We have let him slack on the GFCF diet, and so far does not seem to have impacted him despite having some milk products. He's had plenty of wheat thus far, but has had a lot more milk (as an ingredient only, he is still devoted to his rice milk) since his chocolate obsession has kicked in. We are still working on eating all the candy.
Okay, so once again, we have been slow to update. But when you see all of these cute pictures, you'll understand why. We went to Jackson's Orchard about a month ago and had a great time. It was hard to get both kids looking at the camera at once, but we got some nice moments.
Checking out the decorative gourds.
Owen and Lewis got to go down slides together.
We visited the petting zoo, and were kind of disappointed that many of the animals were not there. They were running late that day apparently. But the boys got to see the goats and sheep.
Owen got to have some apple slush while Lewis jumped in the bounce house.
Last week, Lewis had a field trip to Jackson's Orchard and a Halloween party at school. Thanks to some helpers watching Owen, I was able to go to both! We have been to the "pumpkin patch" multiple times in the last month, but it was fun seeing Lewis with his peers and he always loves it.
This was a class photo.
At the Halloween party, there were stations set up for the kids to visit. Lewis, dressed as Curious George, was not excited about any of the stations, but we went to several and Lewis was willing to participate. First, we went to the tattoo station. Lewis squirmed while we gave him his chosen Buzz Lightyear tattoo. He jerked away just after the tattoo had successfully transferred to his arm, and he was pretty happy about it.
We decorated a cookie with icing and sprinkles and then headed to the pumpkin decorating table. The kids got to decorate the pumpkins they got at the orchard the day before. Lewis enjoyed putting some puffy stickers on his pumpkin.
Finally, with some prodding, Lewis held still to get his face painted. We skipped a couple of the other stations, but he ate a plate full of BBQ chips during snacktime, so all in all, it was a successful time.
