The night before Halloween we spent carving pumpkins. This was actually Will's third Halloween but his first to actually participate.
William was so excited. He spent the entire evening scooping and poking pumpkins. He really got into the whole process and I have to say, was quite good scooper.
Will used multiple tools to get the insides out. By the end of the night we had pumpkin head to toe.
He and daddy were hard at work !!
And my handsome Liam sat and watched patiently as always. He is such a happy, patient little boy.
Will spent the second half of the night concentrating on poking the pumpkins. He was so into it !!
Every once in awhile you could hear him grunt as if he was hard to push. I think this was when we were actually cutting the pumpkins, we must have been grunting ourselves and he was imitating us.
I think they turned out really well.
From Left to Right: Dad's Smiley Face, Liam's Pumpkin (looks just like him with his two teeth), Will's Pumpkin - three blind mice and stars, Mom's Pumpkin - Frankenstein.
On Halloween we surprised Grandma by coming to her. She was due to come to our house for Halloween unfortunately her hip came loose again which makes driving difficult so we changed our plans and trick-r-treated in New Baden. New Baden is like "Leave It To Beaver" land. You can walk down the middle of the road and feel safe and everyone knows everyone. It's a fantastic little town and I am happy my boys will get to experience a town like that.
I was surprised that Will liked his monkey outfit as much as he did. He dug his tail!!
Liam didn't mind his monkey outfit either. My baby's first Halloween outfit !!! He's so cute, loveable and cuddly. Boy do I love my Liam !!!
Liam road in the double stroller the entire night. It was late and he was tired so I didn't take him up to the doors. He really liked the movement of the stroller and if I stopped for even a second he would fuss. So I kept it moving and watched daddy and Will.
The next set of pictures to me are my favorite. Liam and I watched Will and Daddy walk house to house, hand in hand, trick-r-treating for the first time.
I was so proud of my little boy. He was so sweet and cute.
And this just melts me seeing Jim walking his son around his home town. What an amazing dad Will has. We are so lucky to have such an amazing man in our lives.
The night was a success !!! At the end of the night Will kept his monkey outfit on for quite some time and his lips were blue from his favorite candy - SUCKER -
