Cutest Frog in the Pond

Happy Halloween! Jaxon celebrated his first Halloween dressed as a frog. Jason got released early on Halloween, so we took Jaxon to Chris and Mae's to trick-or-treat, then we headed home to hand out candy. There's nothing like little southern children in costumes who say, "Thank you ma'am" for their candy. We had a busy night with many trick-or-treaters and yes, Cooper barked at each one. We think our little frog is too cute!






Here's our loot from the pumpkin patch. Jason arranged it on the front porch while I was changing a diaper. We think it looks very festive!





The wives from Jason's class got together at the beginning of the week to carve pumpkins. I didn't realize that I've never carved a pumpkin without help! I was a little grumpy pulling the goo and seeds from the inside of the pumpkin, but very glad when it was done. Most of the wives carved awesome and unique designs in their pumpkins, but I was too impatient and went old-school with the jack-o-lantern.









Here's our two boys! Cooper has had this bumble bee costume for a few years and it still fits him! I must say, he was much more tolerant of wearing it and even let me put the hat on him this year. The two boys were looking at each other most of the night as if to say, "So, she dressed you in a silly costume too? At least I'm not the only one looking like a goofball." It was pretty warm down here on Halloween, so they didn't stay in their costumes long, but the few pictures we got were priceless.











Here's Jaxon trick-or-treating at Chris and Mae's house. He looked at the bowl filled with brightly colored wrappers and dug his hands right in. It was like he knew exactly what he was doing!
