Halloween 2016

I love Halloween and I am thrilled that Paul has picked up on spirit of the holiday. I can't count the number of times we watched "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" this month, and he loves "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Paul was super excited about getting pumpkins and painting them:

For those of you who have never lived through a hot Halloween, you need to understand that if we carve a pumpkin on October 31st, it is molding by November 1st. They just don't last here in 80-90 degree weather. That is why this year we decided to try painting them instead. Then we can have them for a couple weeks instead of a couple hours. It was a definite success!

I took Paul to a few houses trick-or-treating. he actually wanted to go back home after about 10 houses, which was the right amount of walking for this waddling mama.
Here is our annual family group costume photo: Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Christopher Robin:

The gray blob is a stuffed animal Eeyore, by the way.

And, for those of you who love adorable things, I let the camera roll and accidentally caught this:

I think Paul is a musician at heart because he knows that once you get to "G" it is time to start over again with "A".
