Drew's First Halloween!

Our little Pumpkin!  7 months old on Halloween day!
Pumpkin carving lasted about three hours this year!  Conner and Drew were lucky enough to visit the pumpkin patch three times and therefore we had 7 pumpkins to carve! (we decided not to carve the other three we had!).   Conner picked all of the designs: Drew's pumpkin was a smile face with two teeth (so it looked just like Drew), Conner pumpkin had a turkey on it, Daddy's pumpkin had a "monster buck" on it and Mommy's pumpkin had a shamrock.  Then we had three family pumpkins, one was a smile face with lots of teeth, the other had three ghosts on it and the last one had a silly face on it! 
Drew dressed  up as a little hotdog for Halloween!  I can hear it fifteen years from now, "Mom, why did you dress me up like a hotdog?"
Conner (Mr. I Don't Want to Take Pictures Any More) finally decided that he wanted to be a cowboy (thanks MawMaw)!  We started off in August that he wanted to dress up as a skeleton. So, Beckett gave Conner his skeleton costume from last year.  Then Conner decided he wanted to be Batman, Scooby-Doo and then Spiderman.  Mom talked him into to being a cowboy!  Let's just say, he fit the part perfectly!
Conner was REALLY into trick-or-treating this year.  He couldn't wait!  He asked us at the beginning of October "How many more naps until Halloween".  He also learned the entire Trick-or-Treat song and knew exactly what to say when he knocked on our neighbors' doors.  However, what he didn't learn is that you only get a few pieces of candy when someone holds out their candy dish.  I think he took 5 handfuls from one house!
The boys are growing up way too fast!  As we watched election results come in this week, we learned that Drew had a new expression (see below).  Conner also wanted me to take a picture of him and his "silly" face! I hope you all had a great Halloween!
