Halloween 2007!

In preparation for Halloween, David and Sheniah carved the pumpkin as Michael and I snapped pictures! It was a lot of fun.

Then, we had the genius idea...

let's put the baby IN the pumpkin!Yep...we put the baby in the pumpkin!
He didn't seem to mind, though...

Sheniah, David and Michael with the finished product and Michael's 1st pumpkin.

Later...

There was talk of ghosts and goblins, and our little man seemed a bit worried...

I was finally able to catch the famous wrinkles on camera....

Finally it was time to dress up and head out.

Here is Sheniah dressed up as a scary vampire princess.

Isn't she soooo cute...haha!

And Michael was a pumpkin! We went to the mall to trick-or-treat...fortunately Michael slept through the ghosts and goblins!

Then we went to Yaya's to see Yaya, Aunt Alison, Uncle Brandon, Maria and Wesley. The kids had a great time getting their pictures taken...then the big kids (Brandon, David and Sheniah) went to a haunted house. I hear it was VERY SCARY!!!!

David, Alison, Wesley (the dragon) and Michael (the pumpkin)!





Me and Alison with the little guys!

All the kiddos. Maria was a princess and Sheniah decided not to wear her costume to Yaya's so she wouldn't scare Maria.

Then...

The night was over and it was time to go home...

But all this trick-or-treating and ghosts and goblins can sure be exhausting....it was time to catch a few zzzz's on daddy!

The next day Michael received a wonderful gift from his cousin's Christopher, Christine and Alexa. Daddy put it together, and even though he's still a bit young...






It was PLAYTIME!!!!









Then he wanted to strip down and "do a little dance" with daddy...

Let's all sing along now...

"Go Michael, Go Michael, Go..."

Michael's first purposeful (not gas related!) grin came on October 18, 2007. However, they are few and far between still, and when I am home alone with him it is nearly impossible to make him smile and grab the camera. So finally daddy was here making him laugh and coo and we were able to catch it...

I hope you think it is as adorable as we do!
