Halloween

Happy Halloween!!! This year was definitely a different experience. Last Halloween Jax was only 11 days old. He wore a little skeleton jammie outfit and we had two major outings for the day. One to Foundations to see his office Aunties and the other to see Jon. This year Jax dressed up as a monkey (because hello he is a monkey! :)) and we were busy, busy that day. We ran errands in the morning and then went to see Jon at work where he had his first sucker (and loved it!). 

Then we tried to catch the Watsons on our way home but just missed them :(. After that we headed home to get some dinner and wait for trick or treaters. Because Jon was closing at work I wasn't super excited to go out and trick or treat. But I decided it's all about the experience for Jax so we were going to try and go to a few of our neighbors we know and our friends the Averett's who live in the neighborhood. But first we had to have some snacks and watch the Super Why Halloween episode. 

(This is a video of Jax watching the Halloween episode of Super Why and dancing to Alpha Pig's alphabet.....which he always dances to and I love it! Love this boy)

After dinner and a little Super Why, the rest of the monkey costume went on and the monkey in Jax came out in full force. He is seriously obsessed with his walker from MaDeb and Papa Rick!

After a little playing I decided it wouldn't hurt to give Jax just a little chocolate. So I gave him the corner chocolate pieces to the kit kat I was eating. 

About two minutes later, it sounded like he had a little hair ball and then up came dinner, snack, chocolate.....EVERYTHING. And to make matters worse I thought he was done puking and moved him which resulted in two puke spots and a ruined costume. After that it was tubby time for this monkey and into jammies. I didn't want him to miss out on the entire experience so I set up his high chair in the front room by the window, fed him another dinner and handed out candy to trick-or-treaters. He seriously had a blast watching all the kids come up to the door and would get so excited. A little after seven we said goodbye to our last trick or treaters. Put some candy out with a note and I put the kid to bed. 

After he went to bed, the puke clean up finally happened and then this mamma relaxed! I made some carmel apple cider and sent this picture to Jon to get him home from work. 

Definitely an "eventful" Halloween but an awesome one none the less. Hopefully next year will actually have some trick-or-treating for Jaxson.
