This weekend was filled with Halloween activities! Our great friends from our Bible study gathered for our annual chili dinner and pumpking carving on Friday evening. It is amazingly fun to carve pumpkins with adult friends and see at least 10 jack-o-lanterns all lit up! There is always the speedy carver, the gorey carver, the happy pumpkin carver, and the creative carver!
Saturday, the June Bugs enjoyed their 3rd Halloween Party! The June Bug gang is growing! There is a one-and-a-half year old added into the group and a two-month old sibling who joined us in August. And there are two more itty-bitties on the way! This group of kiddos played so very well around each other. Then on Sunday, Simon picked out his pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. He is so excited to see pumpkins and scarecrows this Halloween. He is joining in on the excitement of Halloween! 
As of last week it was a question if Simon would put on his costume! His sitter was asking Simon what he was going to be for Halloween. He would not talk about his Elmo costume with her. He put his head down and ignored her! Her first guess was going to be an apple, because she knows he loves them so very much. As of last Monday, he would not put on his costume. So, the next evening we forced the costume on him, for two minutes. He whined and wouldn't look in the mirror. He kept asking Eric to pick him up. Even the giggle box did not win him off. But once Elmo was off, he was a desired item. Elmo hung from the corner of Simon's crib and "watched him sleep". Simon did not want to put his costume on the next morning when I asked him. However, all of a sudden he brings me his unzipped Elmo and asks for help. So he watches Sesame Street and Elmo's World while wearing the Elmo costume. Then he wouldn't take it off. He wore it for about 2 hours. Then he comes to me with it unzipped and asks for help to take it off. So he will be Elmo! Who knew a little guy could have Halloween stress!
