Welcome to Cooper's Haunted House. After much debate and a couple of costume changes, I opted to be a dinosaur for my third Halloween. I didn't wear the hood part for too long, but I did enjoy wearing my costume. I enjoyed the candy all day long even more. Mommy had the great idea to host our first Halloween party for all my buddies after she had worked the previous night. She's not sure what she was thinking, but it was fun.
Most of the food was made the night before - pumpkin spice muffins, clear gloves filled with popcorn and gumdrops to looks like hands, fruit, and goody bags...and pizza for lunch.
We had a good turnout. Avram was a pig. Kaya was a tree. Rowan was a fireman. Ava was a fairy princess.
There were even some little babies there dressed as a lamb, a frog, and a monkey. Some of the big people dressed up like a spider and even Wonder Woman!
We all sat nicely around the table and inhaled our pizza. Ava and her Mommy Sara liked their pizza. Sara went to med school with Mommy and Daddy and just moved up here to Boston, so it was nice to see her again.
Kaya the tree (though she had shed her bark by this point) and Johanna the spider liked their pizza too.
And Avram again! This was one sturdy pinata. It took Daddy secretly ripping holes in the bottom while no kids were looking before any candy fell out.
After a long nap and some leftover pizza, it was time to head out the door for some trick or treating. Last year I understood what to do, so I definitely was on board this year.
Please excuse Mommy's outfit. She was just following us to a couple of houses in her pj pants since she was so sleepy, but she ended up coming along out in public in these clothes. Gees Mommy. We went to about six houses total. Then the wind really started to pick up so we headed home.
And waited to greet our trick or treaters. We had quite a few, but they were all done by 8, so then we had a late night (hyped up on candy) and watched a scary but not too scary movie.
If someone leaves the camera lying around, watch out. I've learned to turn it on and take my own pictures. Here are a few.
I'm not sure why I was crying in this picture, but Mommy put it in here just so you could see how big my hair was. Sometimes it curled up nicely in tight curls, and sometimes it looked frizzy like Bozo. Mommy and Daddy decided it was time for my first real professional haircut.
I had had Mommy haircuts before but not a real one. I did really well as long as Mommy was there to hold my hand.
With a sucker bribe in hand after I was done, you can see my much much shorter hairdo. I told everyone that they cut of my curls and put them in the garbage can. I wish I could spell out how cute I pronounce curls, and girls too for that matter. It's almost a British pronunciation.... cuuuuuhhhrls. So cute!
As fall comes, so do all the leaves on the ground. While Mommy worked, Daddy and I raked all the leaves up.
While Daddy was at work, Mommy and I held a picnic for our best buddies...Elmo, Teddy Bear, and Olive Baby Doll.
We're looking forward to Turkey Day coming up. Like last year, Mommy works on Thanksgiving Day, so ours won't be Thursday, but will be some other day. We hope you are enjoying the weather before the cold sets in, are getting some early Christmas shopping done, and are going to have a lovely Turkey Day with your families.
