Happy Halloween


As most of my friends know, I am not a big Halloween fan, in fact, I avoid most of the merriment associated with the holiday. But, I loved the idea of putting Carter in a costume, so here is my attempt at participating in Halloween. If you want to see more pictures, click here.

That's pretty freakin' awesome! Leah is going as Celion (Celine Dion).

What a cute little monkey grinder! Very adorable costume. I watched the video on your Flikr account and cracked up when Carter flopped backwards and lay down at the end of the clip. Sam is picking up on that same tactic - he's learning how to arch his back and go stiff-as-a-board when he doesn't want to be placed somewhere. And he also does the whole "limp legs" thing when he doesn't feel like standing up.

Kids are silly.

Anyhow, great costume. Where did you find it?

Yeah, the first several pictures were me trying to get him to stand up and of course that is when they turn to rubber.

Thanks for the compliment on the costume. I chose to sew it myself this year which was much more challenging than I thought it would be. This was my first sewing adventure in over a year so I was a bit scared/frustrated. Once the jumpsuit was done, the other pieces went together pretty easily. I am now thinking of other patterns I really want to make now that I am on a roll.

AWESOME! Mike should have an accordian and put Carter on his shoulder and sell peanuts.

But seriously, I love it.

I can't believe you made that! I thought it was store bought. He looks adorable! I need to see him before he grows up any more!

I'm so happy you let down your Halloween barriers and dressed up your little monkey. The costume is priceless, and that face is well, to DIE FOR!

As always, you outshine everyone else. Such an overachiever!

Shauna! Carter is so dang cute... especially as a monkey. I am glad you put him in a costume! Thanks so much for your well wishes with my pregnancy. I am so excited! 10 1/2 weeks so far... we hear the heartbeat in less than a week!

I know! He's much better today, so all should be well. Is your little guy's birthday the same day as Spencer's, or the day before? (Spence is on the 18th.) Happy first to him!
