Halloween Festivities

My cute little dinosaur (dragon)!

We have been busy with lots of fun Halloween events. Last Friday was our wards playgroup Halloween trick-or-treat. Tyson looked so cute in his costume and was so excited to wear it. He called it his dinosaur so we went with that. Basically the gist of the activity was to "find" all the candy that was scattered on the sidewalk. Tyson wasn't too interested at first but after a little coaxing, he was having a good time. It was cute to watch all the little kids scurrying around trying to gather their candy.

OOOO, Candy!!!



Tuesday night was our ward Halloween party and since I am on the committee it was a long day but we had a great turn out. A bit chaotic but I think everyone enjoyed themselves for the most part. Tyson did very well considering he had about an hour nap in between gathering all the food in the morning to decorating in the afternoon. He was quite content playing with the plastic spiders while mommy helped to get everything ready. What a trooper! (Sorry, I was too busy to take any pictures of this event).

As if going to the pumpkin patch last week wasn't enough, Tyson went out to the garden today to "find" the pumpkins that were strategically place by Ben's uncle Mike. There was one pumpkin that grandma and grandpa grew and kept out there for Tyson to find. He thought it was pretty cool for a brief moment before he realized where he was.....in the DIRT! Boy, nothing is better than playing in the dirt let me tell ya, at least not for a 2 1/2 year old boy. He rolled the pumpkins through the dirt, pulled some rocks out of the dirt, dug his fingers in the dirt, then proceeded to try and cover the pumpkins with, you guessed it, dirt! He even tried to plant a dead sunflower. All this while in his costume. He was having a great time, that's all that matters!
