Halloween started with us selecting a pumpkin and carving it. We enjoyed an afternoon with Liza and Elliot finding the perfect one! James of course wanted to help out and he found the perfect pumpkin, but really had no interest in gutting the pumpkin as much as we had him feel things out.
James had several opportunities to don a Halloween costume this year. We were fortunate to have several costumes gifted to us for their use this year so he took his turn in two of them to celebrate Halloween.
Daycare had a small celebration in which James donned his tiger costume and his buddy Madden his football player costume. Madden and James met in Mom's Mommy and Me class shortly after they were born and they have enjoyed each other's company at daycare since they started over a year ago. They both soon will be "graduating" to the toddler room and learning all sorts of new things together!
That same evening we had dinner with some friends and James was already in costume, so Clara joined in on the fun as a lion! They were the perfect jungle pair! As noted, the head on James' costume was a little small so we put this costume to rest after this outing.
On Halloween itself James donned a monkey costume. With his love of bananas this was a perfect outfit for him. He didn't seem to mind the costume once we got him into it. We took him trick or treating to several neighbors homes but he was most helpful at handing out candy to all the kids coming to our door.
Luck have it the day after Halloween Mom was out shopping and found James' costume for next year! Those of you who know James' love for trains can already guess what it is.
