Halloween | 2019

When it came time to plan Cam's Halloween outfit, I picked out a really cute dinosaur outfit. He loves dinosaurs so I thought it would be the perfect outfit. I was WRONG! He hated that costume with a passion. If I even brought it near him, he would take off running and hyperventilating. We decided it may be best to put him in regular clothes for Halloween so we decided to do a train conductor and he was the cutest train conductor I've ever seen.

 

We did something new this year and went down to my parents beach house the weekend before Halloween. Their park does a big Halloween trick-or-treating from 4-6 and the entire park participates. I was amazed at how many houses decorated and joined in on the fun. We only made it down one full row and we had an entire bucket full of candy. Camden loved it but was not a fan of people in full costume. His favorite part of the night was playing in the dirt for a full hour. He is ALL BOY! We capped off the night with a cookout with friends and family at the beach.

 

Sunday we came back home and attended our Church trunk-or-treat. Cam loved the rubber ducks and cake walk the most. He didn't really participate in the trunk-or-treat because he was ill and it was HOT! Friends from out of town stopped by and we ended up chilling in the air condition/nursery so Cam could play with Amelia.

 

On Halloween night, we went over to the Hutchens house for pizza and trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. It was a fun night and we actually only visited a few houses before calling it an early night. It was the perfect Halloween and I'm sure thankful I got the pictures at the beach because I only took 1 picture on Halloween night and it was blurry.

Camden's First Halloween | 2018

I need a vacation from "Halloweening". Pretty sure I just made that word up but BOY were we busy doing all of the fun Halloween things yesterday. Camden kicked off his first Halloween at daycare by having his face painted. They painted a little pumpkin on his face and apparently it didn't last long because it was gone when I picked him up.

The smartest decision I made was taking some pictures of Camden on Sunday afternoon because I knew we would be in a rush on Wednesday. I love how his pictures turned out and I have to say he made a super cute lion. I like to think he is my ferocious lion even though he is smiling in almost all of the pictures. We taught him how to ROAR and his roar sounds more like an "ahhhhh" but it's still so cute.

Our church hosts a Fall Blast for kids every year. Usually it is on Saturdays but since Halloween fell on a Wednesday this year, they decided to have it then. After I picked Camden up for daycare, we rushed home to get him ready for the night. He was pretty tired from daycare so I knew it was going to be a tough night for him in a costume. Thankfully, he did okay and was a good sport for most of the night. I did have some pictures where his face showed that he was over it and ready for his crib. I'm glad we stayed until the end because our ferocious little lion won the costume contest at church.

It was so much fun celebrating Halloween with a baby. I can't wait to TRICK OR TREAT next year. We have a whole year to get him ready and its going to be awesome!
