Today was a fun day! This morning we went to church. Benjamin was great in the nursery though naps in the nursery no longer exist so that means that he fights his afternoon nap at home too, but oh well! Church was great, I really enjoyed singing with everyone and we were reminded to wait in peace and anticipation for the King is Coming! Here's my stinkin cute little man before church...
a sweet lady from our church gave him his shirt :-)
After church we tried to get Benjamin to nap which didn't last very long, while Peter and I cleaned up the house a bit for when his parents come to visit. Then we got our candy bowl filled for all the trick or treaters that were sure to come to our door! We had quite the group this year and it was fun to see the cute kids all dressed up. There was even only a small handful of "I'm entitled to that candy" kids, ha! :-)
After Benjamin woke up, we put him back in his giraffe costume and Daddy took him on his first trick or treat. Our neighbors were really wanting him to go around and visit them all, so we had to oblige :-) So yes, you have to endure more cutie pie giraffe pictures.
why do I have to wear this again?
OH, we're going to get more candy? Yippee!
These two were my favorite trick or treaters of the night
I'd let a baby this cute have two pieces
luckily for us, he is much more into the glowstick than the candy
he enjoyed showing off his crawling skills for all the kiddos
and loved people watching as the kids walked through the neighborhood
then he went CRAZY and started yelling and screaming
he was SO loud I almost plugged my ears. And he hadn't even had any sugar!
he eventually calmed down a bit
I have a feeling that pictures where he looks at the camera will no longer happen
our little giraffe and all his loot :-)
he was perfectly content even though the bag of M&M's wasn't opened....that'll change soon I'm sure!
Mom, this trick or treat thing totally rocks
some people roll around in their money.......Benjamin prefers to roll in chocolate :-)
he is always on-the-go
oh to know what goes on in his little head
our first night of trick or treating as a family
We finally turned off the porch light when we had almost run out of candy and it was time for Benjamin to go to bed. I had to share this next picture though. I had been vacuuming and he's usually a bit scared of it so when it was just sitting in our living room he slowly inched his way over to it and put his hand on it. It was as if he was trying to show the vacuum who was boss in this household. Apparently that wasn't Benjamin though because he somehow scared himself and frantically needed his mama to hold him...I even got some snuggles. Haha, it's hilarious that he's afraid of the vacuum.
We got Ben in his pj's and Peter decided he needed some more fun in the laundry basket before bed.
he isn't content to sit anymore and pulls up on everything including laundry baskets apparently :-)
with all that drooling going on Benjamin, it's a good thing you're a Little Submarine
Ben, you are so lucky to have such a fun Daddy
can someone please tell me when he got so big???
I'd say the look on his face shows he had a great day. And he's right, it was a great day!
