halloween parties

We've had lots of Halloween parties to attend lately, and therefore many opportunities to dress up as a juicy cheeseburger!

A couple weeks ago, we were invited by a neighbor to her office's parking-lot-pumpkin-party. Seriously, tons of pumpkins lined the parking lot, and Henry picked out just the right one to bring home. They had a fire truck and police car there - shocking I know, Henry was a fan of the vehicles.

Let's hope this is the only time we're sitting in a police car!

Just checking the air pressure.....good to go!

One attempt to get a posed picture by the fall decorations.

This past Sunday, we went to Boo Zoo at Como Zoo. We didn't get to see too many real animals, as it was night-night time for them, but the zoo did have 200 volunteers dressed up in costumes of various animals. Henry definitely wanted to stick close by his dad, and was a little stingy with his high-five's for the "animals". Definitely no posing for a picture with any of them!

We met up with Kate, Anna, Ben, and Tommy at the end!

Today, all the kids in Henry's library group managed to kick up their heels with a costume party! All of the songs and rhymes and stories were all about Halloween. Lots of great costumes - a dog/cat/brother/sister combo, a couple cows, a monkey, and Henry's little girlfriend, Brinley aka Pebbles.

Here we have a good ol' parachute activity going on.

Here Henry's trying to give Brinley a hug, but she was having none of it, running towards her mama!

He did manage to sneak in some serious book-reading when Jill brought out all the toys at the end :)

Now that we've broke in the costume, looking forward to Halloween!
