Happy (very belated) Halloween!

Wow!  So...in case you haven't noticed, I'm pretty absent from blogging.  Even though the computer is up and running, it's also football season which means Tristan is watching film/working pretty much every waking moment.  And, being the wonderful wife I am, I have not pitched a fit that his little football gig is getting in the way of my blogging :)  The good news is, we are a mere 2-3 weeks away from the END OF SEASON!!   Yippee!  Anywhoo...in the meantime...

As we all know, last week was Halloween - Mason's second.  Gigi & Pop came in for the festivities as they have the past few years, and man did we have a great day!  Mason was a spider this year - he is completely obsessed with the Itsy Bitsy Spider song.  So obsessed, that I think he actually gets it stuck in his head - I'll catch him silently doing all of he hand motions by himself all the time.  It's pretty much the cutest.  And...so was Mason as a spider :)

At first, he was pretty unhappy with us for putting him in his costume.

What are you DOING to me???

I was finally able to distract him with MY spider, on my shirt.

We walked up the street to cousin Grace, Addie & Ava's house, and had a great time taking pictures.  This whole time he's saying "cheese!!" to the cameras. 


Once he was armed with grapes, we decided to try to get some shots with the hat on.  We were convinced he wouldn't keep it on for longer than 1 picture, because he won't EVER wear hats or sunglasses.

Apparently, we were wrong...he wore the hat almost all night!! 




Yay, daddy made it home from football practice with minutes to spare before heading out for our trick-or-treating!

His first house - he did GREAT!


And then he was done.  This was how he spent the rest of the night - happy as a clam, chillin in the stroller. 


But I mean really, why WOULD he walk up to all the doors if he had Pop to wheel him up??  By the end of the night, Mason was holding his hand out for the candy, and dropping it into his bag.

Getting some love from cousin Grace, aka Rio from some kid's cartoon I've never heard of :)

After an awesome night of trick-or-treating, we of course had to go home and check out the loot!


We let him have ONE tiny 3 Musketeers.  He said "mmmmmm!" at every bite, so cute.  The rest of the candy went to work with daddy the next day :)

All in all, it was an awesome time - he got the hang of it so quickly we know he'll be all over it next year, running door to door with his cousins!
