Our Halloween

Halloween started off Tuesday night at our church party.

Matix and his partner in crime, Ryker, were Thing 1 and Thing 2.

They were great at acting the part, just ran around acting crazy.

They even won 3rd place in the costume contest, no other kids placed!

Halloween morning we went to a mother's group and decorated sugar cookies.

It was hard for me to resist

(I'm 4 weeks going strong on no desserts)

 Then Matix decided to eat all of one of the little girls puffs.

He loved these things when he was like 6 months old, I guess he still loves them.

Here is our little skeleton.

 Isn't he cute?

 We decided to take Matix trick or treating with his cousin's, David and Emily.

Matix loved it, until he saw a girl with a scary mask. 

From that point on, Doug had to carry him to every house.

Let me tell ya, my SIL's neighborhood was the place to go.

One house had full size candy bars, one had a cotton candy machine out front, and another was making homemade donuts on their lawn.

Maybe we'll be going there next year too. 

Sound good, Bre? 

 Emily and David were so good with Matix. 

Every house we went to Emily would say, " Did Matix get candy?" or "Can Matix have some Candy too?"

She was a little mom to him. It was adorable.

Then we have David, Mr. Prince Charming, who was watching his back the whole night.

Every house he would tell Matix, "It's not scary, Matix, they are only Candles."

(referring to the carved pumpkins)

The night was a success for Matix, he got a lot of candy, meaning Doug got a lot of candy.

Matix had one lolly pop when we got back and he was done (he mostly wanted to play with all of his cousin's toys).

Now, the morning after, Matix is battling Croup. 

Poor little guy, he partied too hard last night.
