Halloween 2010

If you'll remember, last year's Halloween did not go so well.  This year was a little better.  John Michael acted OK.  We had some issues with him not wanting to get out of two separate bouncy houses.  He did not understand he had to get out.  It's hard being two.  There's so much to learn and start understanding!

We went to our church's Fall Fest and we had such a good time.  Jordan's mom is in town so she got to enjoy seeing the boys dressed up for Halloween!

 As you can see, JM was an Alabama football player and Matthew was a monkey!  It was still a bit warm, so we didn't put Matthew's fleece monkey pants on.

 Oh man, they're so cute!  JM looooves his football helmet, maybe a little too much.  He keeps saying "football game!"

 Sweet, sweet monkey!

 A Fall Festival favorite from last year! 

Look, Wells was a football player too!  At first they were uncertain whether or not Alabama and Arkansas football players could be friends..... 

 but then decided they could!

 We also ran into Sarah Kate!  JM loves Sarah Kate and talks about her a lot!

We also ran into a cute little lobster!   

 He kept looking at Matthew like, who are you?!

 Down the bouncy slide! Wheeee!

 Bounce house #2 which also turned out not so great.  Poor Jordan had to get in two different bouncy houses to get JM out.  We were not impressed by his lack of initiative to get OUT of THERE!

 Matthew played the duck game and got to pick out one piece of candy!  He got a sucker! 

 It was his first sucker and he loved it!

 JM also got to have his first mini candy bar.  He also liked it (duh!)

Sweet moments with my first-born! 

 And last but not least, both boys got to ride the ponies!!  Matthew literally cracked up laughing the whole time.  He was making everyone in line laugh because he was just laughing and laughing!

JM also loves the ponies, but he's a little more serious about it!

Overall, it was a fun Halloween night!  The boys had a great time and we had fun!
