Halloween Madness

Matt & I have been saying all week...

"What will we do when Halloween is over?!"

We have been to several "fun places" the past few weeks to celebrate Fall Festivals and Halloween shananigans. Connor loves to scope out Halloween decorations everywhere we go! Here's a collection of the kiddie activities we've participated in lately. :)

My idea of family fun pumpkin carving went a little like this...

We encourage Connor to help scoop out the pumpkin gookies...

Connor thought the gookies were gross & decided to fling his pumpkin guts all over...

Since we had two pumpkins to work on and an uninterested child to entertain, the cooler caught Connor's interest :)

The next 3 hours were pretty much me entertaining Connor while Matt continued to plug away with the intricate detail of the pumpkins. Then just before Connor's bedtime, Matt's masterpieces were complete!

Meet Eeyore & Tigger
(There's one cute smiley boy in this picture...you just have to squint to see him!)

After a good picture of the pumpkins, I wanted a good picture of my little munchkin :)

Yesterday, we headed out to two Fall Festivals. Talk about kiddie fun overload! Connor had a blast & God Bless Matt for tagging along with a smile the whole time :)

Connor could not get enough of these creepy clowns. The one standing up was pretty nice & kid friendly, while the one sitting down clearly hated his clown life & had little patience for children! I got a kick out of the fact that Connor insisted on standing right in front of Mr. Crabby Clown & would randomly talk to him! We stood in front of these clowns for a good 30 minutes while they worked like turtles making balloon animals. It was free entertainment and Connor loved every second of it, so Matt & I waited patiently :).

I adore his precious face!

We headed over to see the firemen and get a close up look of their fire truck. We were happy to see "Fireman Dean" was there to greet us (my best friend's older brother). Connor looked so teeny weeny sitting up in the truck :)

I wished this picture came out a little better, but I had promised Connor we could go on the bounce house once we did the firetruck. I'm pretty sure Connor had the bounce house on his mind right about now...

After the Fall festival, we headed to a buddy's birthday party then rested up for another Halloween gathering at the local storage unit down the street (fun fun activities in Cape Coral!!). Connor had fun grabbing the candy from each booth, although he's not the candy eater at all. He enjoyed a few games, crafts, and checking out the Halloween decor.

Hope everyone has a happy Halloween! I'm gonna need to be extra creative to get Connor just as excited for Thanksgiving as he was for Halloween. :) Wish me luck!
