Stone's 1st Halloween

My husband called me and woke me up to check out this beautiful sunrise, and I am glad he did. The pic does not quite do it justice, but I thought how fitting to have a bright orange sunrise on Halloween. The pics in the daytime were taken actually two days before over at Gardner Village. I went with a few girlfriends and their kids to see all the cool Halloween decorations, mostly witches. They helped me get a few cute pics of Stone sitting up by himself since he is still a little wobbly. Somehow he got a hold of a leaf and he started choking on it and my friend noticed first and we got it out and he threw up all over his costume, so I was grateful that it was not actually Halloween day. Anyhow he is in that phase of sticking everything in his mouth, but that was our first choking experience. Enough of those fun details...Every Halloween I tell myself I am not dressing up unless we go to a party. So I think I won't feel like dressing up and then last minute I want to, thus having to throw together a lame costume. I wish I was one of those people who think of something really cool and plan a costume in advance like (see Bille's blog), but I am a scrapper (of costumes that is). I promise next year just you wait that I will be something alot more original than an 80's aerobic instructor. Spencer painted cool black designs on his face twice then decided to wear the mask I got him for 50 cents instead...He looked like he had black eyeliner on for the next two days, even after showering. Anyhow we just had a quiet night. We went to my in laws to trick or treat, see a cool decorated house nearby and take pictures. Don't worry I had my legs covered up after we snapped a few photos. It was an unusually warm Halloween for Utah's standards but ended in rain, so we just went home and watched Ghostrider...and I fell asleep in the first hour, I'm so exciting I know. All in all it was a fun time, more fun now with a kiddo and I was happy to spend it with my hubby since he was working last year.

I, for one, think the 80's aerobics instructor is original!!! I've never seen someone dressed up as that before! And Stone is too cute for words. I wanna gobble him UP!!!!
