We hope you all had a really fun and special Halloween. Our weekend started out with a bang with a Trunk or Treat event at Owen's day care. We decorated our trunk like a jungle and dressed accordingly. I may look like a black cat, but Owen will tell you that I was a black panther. Kris is dressed up as a jungle/safari guide - just in case it's not obvious. We don't have any pictures from the actual event because at the end of the night we realized that there was no memory card in the camera. So sad! Luckily, a few other parents were snapping up pictures so we're hopeful we'll get a few of Owen's friends too. Owen wasn't into the trunk event very much this year - although there was a good thirty minute period when a bunch of his classmates were there at the same time and they had a lot of fun together running around, dancing to music, and playing together. It was really cute to watch them all playing in their costumes.
Owen definitely enjoyed the actual day of Halloween more. We played outside most of the day- before and after nap and he really loved jumping in leave piles and playing in dirt piles (both activities were repeated for a long time on Sunday). Then we dressed up, had a photo shoot to capture the trunk memory, and started off in the neighborhood at dusk. He was a big hit with our neighbors and liked trick o treating at the non-scary houses. After we walked around our neighborhood for a bit, Owen helped his Daddy pass out candy and really enjoyed eating his chocolate. There is no more denying that the words chocolate and candy are a part of his vocabulary now.
A few pictures of Owen, the trunk, me in my costume - WK 28, and Owen playing in the yard are below. We also made another Picasa album. Some of the pictures below are in the album, but there are more of him in his costume and playing in the yard, too.

Wow, what great costumes and that trunk looks awesome. Good job guys! I liked the Picassa album - the shots of him playing in the leaves are wonderful. I'm glad you guys had such a good Halloween! You look great Amber!
ReplyDeleteHey Amber-- love the pictures. I have to admit, I was really confused by the Trunk or Treat until I saw the pictures. At first I thought, is it Trunk like Trunk of a Tree? But I get it now! Very clever. And I LOVE Kris in his safari outfit. Too cute. And you look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so sweet!! Thanks! We had a lot of fun with the trunk this year- I think there was an unofficial contest, but nothing official. This year there were only a handful of decorated trucks, most with scarier themes. We were just happy that the little kiddies had a trunk to gravitate towards - the stuffed animal were definitely a hit with the 2 year olds.
ReplyDeleteStephanie- we have to admit it too- we never heard of the idea until last year. I think a lot of churches around here do it too.
What a treat ...that lil guy and his jungle crew are so adorable...I love them all and the one by the garden is too cute. What a smile. It's priceless. Glad you had such a great time and you DO look amazing lil mama...Love Granny
