We were bad parent's and didn't take Gavin to the pumpkin patch until the Friday before Halloween, not that he really knew the difference but I would have felt awful if I hadn't gotten some pictures of him there for his first pumpkin experience. He was overall not impressed in the least, could have been that it was his nap time or all the cars, trucks, and people going by, or that he just doesn't care about pumpkins. Either way we subjected him to tons of pictures in various poses trying to get at least one with him smiling and/or looking at the camera. We failed, but at least I can have the memory of him being there and some cute pictures, just not of him smiling.
On to Saturday, when Halloween was celebrated by our city. Again, we were horrible parents and didn't bother getting Gavin a costume until.....you guessed it Friday afternoon. So, all the was left in the several stores that were checked was either a pumpkin costume or a ballerina. Obviously we opted to continue the pumpkin theme from the day before. Maybe, just maybe it would be more successful. Oh the other fact about the costume was that it was a 12 - 18 month and Gavin is still wearing 3 - 6 month clothes.
We decided to celebrate Halloween by going to some friends house to watch the GA/FL game and then possibly go with them to a few houses if the game got over early enough for Gavin to still be in an agreeable mood. Well, the Dawgs sucked it up once again and the game lasted forever! So during the 4th qtr we got all the kids dressed up so the older ones could go get candy and so we could get some pictures of Gavin before he got too fussy. You can tell by his expressions he is not at all excited about the pumpkin AGAIN. I think he must have something against them.
This one is probably my favorite, he looks like he is begging us to take him out of the costume!
So obviously over the whole experience
I would rather be asleep
And when he can't get us to take him out, he decides to leave
So in repayment for all the torture we put him through, we decided to take him to the park to swing after church on Sunday. He loves to swing! In fact he loves it so much he will wear his sunglasses with out screaming. Such a cute little boy!!
I love this picture
After he got tired of the swing I decided to let him practice his sitting skills on something a little softer than our wood floors at home.
Right before the face plant
Right after the face plant
Bad Mommy! Bad, Bad Mommy!!
I can not believe my little love bug will be 6 months old in just 3 days!! I promise I will post those pictures quicker than I posted these :-).
