Halloween!

So it might have taken me a little longer then most but i finally got our Halloween pictures up. Aj was just about the cutest skunk i ever saw. i figured he would spend the whole time trying to rip of his hat or chase his little skunk tail but he loved wearing it

This first pic was actually on halloween in newport, ri. we went to go visit aaron for the weekend and he was able to get off base liberties so that he could go trick or treating with us. sadly both aaron and aj were dressed head to toe in black and white (aaron has to wear his blues off base ) which is not very good attire to wear trick or treating. so i got a glow stick necklace around aj neck i put glow sticks in his pumpkin and then he had a blue flashlight (mostly cuz he likes flashlights) and made sure he stayed by aaron so they both were visible!
All the rest of these pics were at trunk or treat the tuesday before. and let me tell you i was happy i got to use that costume at least twice...it took so stinkin long to make. and guess what aj will be next year if he can still fit? and when he cant guess what mia will be? a little pink bow over an ear and Whala a girl skunk costume!
Grandpa and aj eating chili and candy!
aj loved going around and getting candy in his pumkin. most people would had it to him and he would put it in but of course grandpa couldnt just give him one, what grandparent would deprive their grandchild like that?...he let aj help himself and let me tell you he really did help himself. i couldnt pull him away from Lances basket he was just having such a good time putting all that candy in his pumkin. i think grandpa got a kick out of it too!

the trunk or treat was so much fun. they had games like go fish, and a cupcake walk that grandma took aj around on a few times so that we could get one from the cupcake nazis (they were literally guarding a mountian of cupcakes so that the parents wouldnt eat them...please i think the kids got enough in the way of candy they can spread the cupcake love around!). Newport was a blast too. the neighborhood we went to was about a block away from the chruch there and everyone was just so friendly. aaron loved taking aj door to door, making sure aj said his thank you everytime and blew a kiss bye-bye when they left. they were a cute sight to see! aaron even got a couple of salutes (even though he really isnt an officer yet, 8days left!, he still looks like one) and one or two people even thanked him for serving. i know that meant a lot to him! overall it was a pretty great halloween!
