More Halloween Pictures

Here are a few more pictures of Lincoln gearing up for Halloween. At least I know he'll sit still and pose on the mantle!

A Heck of a Halloween!

We had a fantastic Halloween. We had homemade blueberry waffles for breakfast and then carved our Jack-O-Lantern. After lunch, we listened to the Aggie whoop up on Iowa State and then headed to Cason's soccer game. Lincoln loved cheering for Cason and wanted to play so badly! Then, we swung by our friends Heath and Carla's to wish Garrett a happy Halloween and drop off some bubbles. We finally made our way to the church carnival and Lincoln and Brenden had a ball playing in the bounce house and playing the games. After the carnival we stopped at my parents house and Lincoln learned to trick or treat from cousin Cason. We hit about 8 houses on their block. Lincoln wanted to walk inside every single home. Again, no fear! Lincoln finally made it to bed around 930.

A Look Back at Halloween Last Year!

While somethings change....something always stay the same. Lincoln still LOVES Halloween candy! Yummy!

Fall Festival

Fall is definitely in the air. I love this time of year and am especially excited for all the cool fall weather we have had. Lincoln and I have enjoyed morning walks and trips to the park. Last weekend we went to the Cooper Clinic in McKinney for their fall festival. Here are a few shots from the afternoon. Oh, and a sneak peek of Lincoln's Halloween costume.

Feeding the goats. This boy knows NO fear.

Riding the pony, again no fear.

My Little Chickadee

As we get closer and closer to Halloween, I wanted to post pictures of Lincoln's first and second Halloween. Here he is only 4 weeks old He looks so big and grown up, even though he is a newborn. At this point, I hadn't even thought about Halloween, but Mom and I saw this while getting Lincoln's newborn pictures, and we scooped it up. He made such a cute little chickadee.

I remember those early days, I was soooo exhausted I could barely keep my eyes open! I'm anxious to see how his costume comes together this year. I'm making it again this year, I really enjoy "creating" his costumes and giving him a one-of-a-kind look! He was such a cute Frankenstein last year, I hope to continue the tradition of homemade costumes.

What a difference a year makes

Here is Lincoln in his Halloween costume from last year. He is 5 weeks old in this picture.

Here is Lincoln this year, almost 14 months!

The cutest spook on the block.

A Freakin' Cute Frankenstein

Happy Halloween. Lincoln was Frankenstein this year. It was my first attempt to make a costume and we were very pleased with the results. It wasn't as "quick and easy" as the magazine claimed, but it was more original than something from Target and less humiliating than his chicken costume from last year. Plus, we figure soon enough he'll want to be a power ranger, spiderman or something else really lame, so we chose for him. Lincoln even mastered his Frankenstein walk...wobbly, with his arms stretched out. We went trick or treating around the Allen outlet stores with Memer and Gigi and then met up with Daddy after work at the church festival. Lincoln ate some lollipops, road on a train, pulled a ducky out of the pool, and did a pumpkin toss. Here are a few pictures from the evening.
