Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween this year. On Saturday night, we headed to a small fall festival at a nearby park and Jake got to paint his own pumpkin... We waited til Sunday to carve our pumpkin, and I have to say Jake was less than thrilled about it. This was his face when Kevin took off the pumpkin top and showed him the inside...
We did finally get him to touch a pumpkin seed, but he adamantly did not stick his hand in the pumpkin to help Daddy fish them out. Here he's showing off his seed...
Since he wasn't so interested in the pumpkin carving, Nana stepped in with a story and little pumpkin "carving" of her own. Jake liked this variety much better...
Our obligatory family picture as we head out to trick-or-treat...And he's off...
I was really very impressed and happily suprised by how well Jake did with trick-or-treating. He marched down the sidewalk with his bag like he'd done it 100 times.
Walking up to the first house...
Waiting for someone to answer. We did have to remind/encourage him to say "trick-or-treat" and "thank you," but once reminded, he said it every time...
Another family pic with the 3 decorated pumpkins of the season. One by Daddy, two by Jake...
Once we were finished with our candy hunt, we put out chairs in front of the house so we could pass out candy. Jake's costume had it by this point. I DO NOT recommend velcro legs for a toddler. They came undone all night long while I tried unsuccessfully to get them to stay together. At this point, I gave up...
