Halloween Weekend

Amok Amok Amok!  Thank you Sarah Jessica Parker for that amazing quote.  Best movie ever!

This Halloween was one for the books.  It was a great weekend spent with family and we loved having a little festive outing.  You may remember that my little guy was a Pro-Fly Fisherman this year.  I think he played the part well.

 We took Griffin Trick or Treating this year for the first time and he did really well.  We have been working on saying "Trick-or-Treat" for the entire month of October and hearing him say it in his sweet little voice was priceless.

We only went to three houses that were in walking distance for him.  Next year will we do more but I didn't want to overwhelm him on his first little outing.

We finished off Halloween night with watching the Tiger play.  It was a nail biter, but thankfully they pulled out a win.

Griffin got in some quality time with his favorite animal.

 

Sunday we relaxed and recovered from the time change.  Time change and a toddler just don't mix.  We got a call that Papa had got a deer and we headed over there to see.



This picture just melts my heart.  Griffin seemed proud of his Papa and loved having a photo op too!

The rest of the day was spent playing and catching up on some reading.  This little boy is turning into a book worm for sure.  I love listening at him "reading."

 

I finished off Sunday cleaning, doing laundry, and starting the nursery!  A full reveal will happen once everything is complete.

 



Halloween 2015

I have said it before and I know I will say it 100 times more, but Holidays are just more fun when there are children involved.  I love being able to do festive things with Griffin and look forward to doing them with his sibling soon too!


Here is a recap of Griffin's Halloween costume in 2014.  This is really my favorite and I think it will always be.  Those sweet cheeks stuffed inside those overalls with the cutest "hay" cuffs around.  Miss G being this little.

 

This year we decided on Griffin being a fisherman.  Not just a fisherman, but a Pro-Fly Fisherman. 

 

I purchased the costume off of Zulily for $15 and had a co-worker jazz it up a bit.  I love how everything turned out.



Halloween Costume Party Link Up

 

 

 

When I saw Julie from The Girl in the Red Shoes was hosting this fun party, I knew I had to join in.  What a neat way to see all the ideas for children's costumes and to be able to share your own.



 

  

Being a new mom I am excited to celebrate all of Griffin's first holidays.  Before I was a member of the "parent club" I loved seeing all of the littles dressed in their Halloween cuteness, no matter their age.

 

This year is going to be fun!  I knew I wanted to have a costume for Griffin to celebrate but I was uncertain what I wanted.  If you know me, then you know I am picky.  I don't like cutesy stuff on my little dude and I wanted something that would be easy since he is only six months old. 

 

 

This was the inspiration for his costume this year.  How adorable right?  I showed a co-worker what I wanted and she went from there.

I love the detail of the "hay" cuffs on his arms and legs.

We didn't have any problems with the hat staying on his head.  He cared way more about the cuffs that his adorable burlap hat.

 

 

Can you spy my little scarecrow?

 

I love how happy he is.  Pure Bliss.

His Moccs from Hello Moccs went great with the "hay" leg cuffs.

 

 

Thanks so much Julie for hosting such a fun link up.  If you want to show off your little's costume this year link up with the Halloween Costume Party and share!
