Monkeys first TOT and a birthday celebration

We had such a fun night! Actually a fun day all around! Monday is monkey's birthday, but we decided to celebrate his birthday out at lunch today. We have a new Cracker Barrell, so we had lunch before a wedding rehearsal.

We had a card from Nani that monkey just LOVED! Especially the lion on the card. He kept growling!
Here mommy is thinking ... please get your jelly hands out of my hair!!


Mommy and Daddy also got him a new coloring book and his first set of real crayons along with a little checkers set.



We had a great day and then trick or treating time came along. Monkey was ... a ... um, monkey. He looked adorable and I'll have to add in a picture later of him just standing in his costume. My camera has been acting up lately so we've been using Ben's and it doesn't always take the best pictures. Add that to the dark and we don't have the greatest pictures, but you can still see how much fun we had! I did have to carry Monkey to the first house and explain how TOT works, but after that wonderful man placed the little bag of M&M's in his bucket, he was sold on the idea! In fact, he kept looking at us like, "why haven't we tried this whole costume = candy thing before?!"
Daddy walking Monkey up to the first house where he had to actually knock on the door (most people were sitting outside)
Checking out his bag!
This guy was great! He had a scary mask on and a few kids right before us were trying to talk each other in to going up to him. Monkey just headed right for him, though the nice guy did lift his mask. I think at that point monkey would've done about anything for candy!
A pig?! An ANGEL pig?! Too funny! McH said, "look, I think that's a pig up there" and mommy said, "babe, don't say that loud, it's probably a dog with short hair or something, you'll offend someone!" Nope, it was a super cute piggy!
Man, that was a fun street. So much different from our street!

We hope you all had a wonderful Halloween and lots of fun Trick or Treating if you went. We had a blast!
