Happy Halloween

Being big OSU fans, we decided to dress Alex up as Pistol Pete this year.  We almost did it last year but we didn't have enough time to put the costume together.  Alex is a little bowlegged, so he's the perfect cowboy!  I was originally going to piece it together myself (vest, chaps, cowboy hat, etc) but then my mom found a one piece zip up costume that had it all!  I just bought some play guns, borrowed some boots & drew on some facial hair.  Super easy & super cute, if I do say so myself...

Getting ready

He was not happy about putting on his costume at first.

He warmed up to it, though.

He cried at the first house.  I think he was a little overwhelmed & didn't really understand what was going on.  Then he was given a sucker (which we let him have right away).  After that, he had NO problem going up to every house & asking for more candy.

Trick or Treat!

He's a pro!

It was a fun evening with great weather!  I've always loved Halloween & it's fun to watch Alex start to get into it, too.

Oh & here's a picture of my costume from work that day.  Our company always has a costume party & I usually dress up.  One of my co-workers is pregnant, too, so we decided to do a costume together.

Thing 1 & Thing 2

We thought it would be a cute idea to make the babies the "things".  We got honorable mention in the contest, but it was a big hit overall.

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
