Pumpkin festivals


Colton and I went to the Weymouth Pumpkin Festival a few weeks ago and we had so much fun that I finally had to post some pictures. Even though all the pumpkins were gone before we got there it was well worth the trip because Colton got to go on the "bouncie bouncie" (Colton's terms) aka the moonwalk. He LOVES the moonwalk and sometimes it is really hard to get him out of there when his turn is over. This time he bounced so high on his bum when he was getting out of the moonwalk even the guy working the booth said "wow"! One of the girl scout troops were having a book/bake sale so we bought some new reads including this Monsters Inc. book in the picture and The Elves and the Showmaker...remember that book?!? Fun stuff, we also got a bag of popcorn and two rice krispie treats for $1...now that's a bargain!!!

Dumbo

This Halloween Colton really wanted to be Spiderman. Nana bought him the costume, he loved it, ran around the house acting like a superhero, until...Auntie Heidi asked him if he wanted to see Spiderman in the mirror. One look in the mirror and he said "this too scary, take it off and return it Nana, I be Dumbo". Really he was just an elephant but if you ask him he will set you straight with "No mama, I Dumbo"!!! This was his first real year trick or treating. The first house he went to he opened the door, walked into their kitchen, played with the dog and helped himself to all the candy he could get his paws on, then he walked out the door and said "LOOK NANA, CANDY!!!" We live on a little dead end cul de sac so he hit all of four houses and then we drove across town to my friend Jill's house for our last trick or treat and to see her and her bulldog Tyson. Tyson was all over Colton's costume and thought the trunk was a toy or bone...it was pretty funny. Colton managed to eat at least two bags of m&m's that night, I think I hit one reeces cup...not so bad!
