Happy Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year. It started on Friday for us with the Kraatz annual Halloween party. This years theme was fables and fairy tales. We decided to go as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. Mark's costume was my favorite. We thought Brody might be afraid of the mask but he loved it. Instead he totally freaked out whenever Mark put on the blue nightgown that was part of the costume. Brody would start crying and saying no, no, no and pulling on it trying to get Mark to take it off. It was really funny. Brody wore his dinosaur costume and didn't even cry when we put it on. The party was a blast, everyone dressed up and looked great. Saturday we woke up and carved our pumpkins. Brody wasn't very interested in the process. He helped for about 2 seconds before losing all interest. We made sloppy joes for dinner which is a long standing tradition in Mark's family that we have adopted. Ashley and Justin came over, we had tons of trick or treaters. Brody did good trick or treating. He only went to a few houses and then lost interest but he seemed to have a pretty good time. We let him have m&m's when he got home which are definitely his favorite. He was really cute for the rest of the night, whenever trick or treaters would ring the doorbell he would grab his pumpkin bucket and go running to the door screaming trick trick trick or treat. It was so cute! I took a ton of pics, I can't wait for next Halloween!

Trick or treating at his first house, he was a little nervous about the giant Frankenstein that was standing on the front porch.
