The Hulk...

Our first "real" Halloween experience!! I found this Hulk costume online, and I couldn't look at it without laughing, so it just had to be. Unbelievably, he left the "hat" on! It's so nice being in this neighborhood (yeah, I know, I can't believe I just said that either) because we just threw him in the wagon and headed out. We only went to a few houses, mainly just the neighbors we know well, and then headed back to do some handing out. Mr. Hulk was so well behaved! I wasn't sure what he would think about all the other spooks, but he didn't seem to mind a bit!
He was SO excited about this sucker! Everytime I look at this picture I bust out laughing... It doesn't even look like my kid! Had to give daddy a bite!


One of our neighbors gave Lincoln a Donut Bank cookie (yum) and a Halloween book. The cookie kept him occupied for most of our trip.

Dad made a good chauffeur!

After our trick or treating, we came back to the house and sat on the front steps to hand out candy. I'll tell you what, it's not like when I lived in Edmonson County! If we had any less than 200 trick or treaters, i'd kiss a pig. It's crazy! You can't walk away from the door! I can't even begin to tell you how much candy I went through! But Lincoln loved every minute of it. He sat on the steps with us and dug through the candy basket, yelled at passersby, and ate his weight in smarties and laffy taffy. What fun!




Before Halloween rolled around, we - of course- had to carve a few pumpkins. Lincoln was more than ready to help! He carried around a spoon all night!
And though he didn't do any of the carving, he was more than happy to play in the guts. And sit in the guts. And spin around on his butt in the guts. It was too funny! I guess I shoulda been freaked out that he was getting all goopy and nasty, but he's a boy, right??

Here you can see our wonderful little helper scooping guts out of daddy's pumpkin.

My sweet baby and our finished product!


I hope we've started a pumpkin carving tradition that will carry through every year! I always LOVED carving pumpkins with my parents when I was a kid - I hope my kids love it just as much.
By the way, Ashley, if you're reading this: I WON the pumpkin carving contest... That's right...
