Halloween, At last!



We (and by we I mean me) waited until the night before Halloween to carve our pumpkins this year, so they wouldn't cave in. As you can tell Jonah was SUPER excited about helping and Joe pretty much cut the tops off and then left us to it.



See totally not into it!!!



Aren't kids supposed to like this stuff? He acted like a sulky teenager the whole time.



My finished products! Pretty generic but it was only my second time ever to carve pumpkins so this is as good as it gets. The small pumpkin has Jonah's initials carved in to it, and I only carved the bigger pumpkin so I could get more seeds to roast.



He looks all happy here once we were all done. I think he was only mad because he really liked his pumpkin and would carry it around the house to cuddle with it, lol.



On Halloween night we had to make the rounds to see all the grandparents. First stop was at Jonah's great grandma Dot's. Jonah wasn't really in to taking pictures so my grandma had to hold him back. Jonah was a fireman this year but he would not wear his hat. The boots were super cute though!



Second stop was at his grandma and grandpa Venter's house! He kept trying to go in to get dirty in the backyard and throwing tantrums so we had to leave fast.



Last stop was at grandma and grandpa Holdridge's house to go trick or treating with his Auntie Beka and Uncle Jake.



Kayden also came along for the ride in his cute monkey costume that Jonah wore when he was 14 months old.



He had so much fun trick or treating this year. We were pretty worried because he had been very cranky before we went and kept throwing tantrums and we almost took him home. After the first few houses he figured out that he was getting candy he was all in to it. He was so cute and kept telling people Happy Howoween. He ended up getting a ton of candy which we let him have for about two days and then took the rest to my office.

Now on to the potty training! Since my last post he has totally gotten the poo thing down. We had two accidents (one at both grandma's houses), but other then that he is doing great! Now we just need to work on the night time thing.

One funny story from yesterday, he ran to the bathroom saying he had to go potty and by the time I got in there he was already on the toilet going pee and he had never taken his underwear off. I almost died laughing!
