To kick of the celebrations, Kingsley, daddy, and myself went to the pumpkin patch. The nearest patch with a hayride was about an hour away so, mostly because she would never remember it anyway, we settled on the pumpkin patch around the corner at the Boys and Girls club. I dragged David up and down the rows and rows of pumpkins looking for the perfect one. Finally, one of the workers came up to us and asked us what size pumpkin we were looking for. I hesitated, but David jumped in and said "one my wife can fit her (gesturing to the baby) in." The man hesitated, laughed, and asked if we were serious.
We totally were. All I wanted to do at Halloween was take a picture of my newborn in a pumpkin is that too much to ask? So the worker helped me. He grabbed pumpkin after pumpkin sizing it up against my baby until we found the perfect one :)
After buying the pumpkin, we paused to take a few pictures with the wooden pumpkin at the entrance. The worker carried the pumpkin over and propped it behind Kingsley. Daddy positioned the pumpkins perfectly and the picture taking began! Note: the candy corn bow and booties were a present from my mom's friend Tina; adorable aren't they.
The day before Halloween we went to the ward Trunk or Treat. For the festivities, Kingsley dressed as Snow White and mommy and daddy dressed as two of the seven dwarfs (sleepy and grumpy - quite fitting right?) Note: the dwarf costumes were a last minute decision as you can see :)
On Halloween, we all drove to Boca. We went to a driveway BBQ at a friends house and gave out Halloween candy to trick or treaters. Kingsley got to wear her Snow White costume for a second day in a row and she looked adorable. In fact, mommy didn't have to hold her the whole night because everyone was fighting over her.
I also took the pumpkin pictures on Halloween. My first attempt did not go well and poor Kingsley screamed the entire time :( But I tried again the next day and those came out much better. What do you think?
