Jake did wonder what this day was all about. Everywhere we went there seemed to be some strange looking people, wearing some strange looking outfits. Jake went as Superman this year; costume made by Mommy. Take one blue sleeper and fasten on logo made from felt pieces. Grab one receiving blanket, one diaper and a pair of socks, then dye them all red. oila! A baby costume.
Backtracking a little bit, we started the week with a playdate at our house with some of the Moms and babies that we meet with for coffee. Great mayhem ensued.
Since it was a couple of days before Hallowe'en the babies brought their costumes. Logan was a bee.
Lucas was a dragon.
Cohen was a turtle, and Thomas a rocker.
Ethan was a puppy.
Jake's costume had yet to be made, so some improvising was in order. Jake was Elvis.
Thankyouthankyouverymuch.
Well he was a sport about it, but it was obvious that the wig and glasses wasn't his favorite thing in the world.
So Mom got to work on the Superman costume the next day.
For Hallowe'en day Daddy dressed up as a Viking, and Mommy as a witch.
We all went to Mother Goose song group, to meet up with the other little Trick or Treaters.
In the afternoon, Jake and Mommy headed to the Hallowe'en party at her work. Everyone in the Groundfish Section were happy to see Jake and were amazed at how much he had grown. And Jake enjoys a good party, especially one with great decorations to play with.
The evening did not have any Trick or Treating for Jake, since his bedtime is still early and let's face it, his teeth are barely in yet. But we did get a visit from our favorite monkey....she even wore a costume to try to make herself more monkey-ish. Eee eee, oooo oooo.
All in all, perhaps a strange day for Jake (he certainly spent alot of time wide-eyed and open-mouthed), but he had a great time. Up, up and away!
