Yes, I know it's November, but I know there are some very eager grandparents, aunts, etc out there who didn't want to totally miss out on all the fun. Larson was very excited to be a pirate this year. He obviously had no recollection that he was also a pirate last year, or at least didn't seem to mind wearing his costume again. I didn't mind either, because my mom sewed him this really, really cute costume last year and I was quite happy to get it out again. We added a cool hat this year but I wasn't quite ready to get him a sword or any other kind of weapon. (Isn't it just so great that there are all these little kids out there who are in love with pirates but have absolutely no idea what a pirate actually is???) Here are Larson and two of his pirate friends:
Our Halloween festivities basically consisted of a boisterous party at Larson's school, then pumpkin carving at home with the family. It was really fun to see how changed Larson was this year compared to last at the same party. Last Halloween he really didn't have much of an idea about what was really going on and many of the activities and games they had were over his head. This year he could kind of do his own thing, with supervision from a few feet back as he made the rounds. My baby is growing up!
This is probably one of the favorite activites: the cookie decorating table! Above are Larson and friend Theo enjoying unbridled access to frosting and sprinkles. (too unbridled: Larson took the spoon in the bowl with chocolate chips - meant to get the chips onto your napkin, of course, and basically just shoveled an entire spoonful directly from the bowl into his mouth:)
Larson was a big helper with the pumpkin carving while Cora kept watch from her swing (see above...) I couldn't find the cute cat pattern that I used last year, so both pumpkins just got funny faces.
