Happy Halloween 2008


We have waited a long time to celebrate Pumpkin Day with a little one. It was worth the wait. What fun! First we carved our Jack-O-Lantern. Daniel did all the carving and I was so proud of how it turned out. It looked awesome and the trick-or-treaters all thought it was really cool! It got me thinking about an idea for a pumpkin carving party in the future.



Then into the costume....... James made a precious frog as we trick-or-treated at the neighbors' homes.



And time to say a quick hello to his favorite friend the witch....

Then our little frog checked out his loot from us and from Nana and Granddaddy.... Halloween books, a couple of little toys, and some new clothes for the cooler weather. And he sure was eyeing all that candy....for now he seemed content to just put the sweets in his pumpkin. I am sure that will change by next year when he discovers you can actually eat what is inside of those shiny little wrappers.

And my favorite one from the day......the frog that stole mommy's heart
