Halloween...

Sorry this is a bit late.

We had a great Halloween. Daniel is here, though not pictured, and we had so much fun. Oliver really got the whole trick or treating thing.

One night before Halloween we took Oliver on the Sleepy Hollow Haunted hay wagon ride. It is put on by Rocky Mountain Outfitters (dear friend) and it is not scary...it is more theatrical. Oliver was a little scared, which he expresses by being stone-cold-serious. He didn't do ANYTHING. He was just totally stoic. It was hilarious.

Here is my monkey:

We had his face painted at the farmer's market, which, of course, wore off. So, when he woke up, I re-did his make up with my stage make up. I will not do that again. I forgot how that stuff STAYS! It was really hard to get off, which Oliver did not enjoy.

However, he loved to trick or treat. He would knock on each door and exclaim:
(loudly)
"TRICK OR TREATING"
I didn't even want to correct him. It was so cute. It was also "cute" to see him wear off a sugar high. He only ate like 3 pieces of candy....but he was bouncing OFF the walls. Once, when someone knocked on the door, he just ran panic'd back and forth from the door to the candy bowl, not knowing what to do. He was happy, of course, but he just was so jittery.

And that, kids, is why we avoid sugar. :)
