Happy Halloween!!!!

Cam put on his skeleton costume, gathered up his pumpkins, grabbed up his treat bucket and hopped in the wagon. It was his first trick or treating experience and the excitement level was high. The neighborhood we chose was truly spooktacular and there was so much for him to see as the houses and their owners were all decked out in their spooky Halloween finest. And when I say decked out I mean REALLY decked out. Cam got a look at everything from silly scarecrows, to intricately carved pumpkins, to bubbling cauldrons with real witches stirring the brew, to pirates and skeletons and enormous mummies and even a crazed zombie chasing trick or treaters through the street with his chainsaw! After a fun walk around the neighborhood collecting candy, enjoying the tricks and the treats and watching all of the other kids Cam even got to walk in his first Halloween parade(pics of that tomorrow)! It was truly a most fabulous Halloween!

Here is Cam getting into his costume. Love how once it was all in place he pointed to the door as if to say "let the trick or treating commence!!"


As we hit the sidewalk Cam just looks around quietly, taking it all in.


Here is that most magical moment-Cam's VERY FIRST TRICK OR TREAT!!! He is a bit unsure what to make of this whole thing....


After peaking into the bucket and assessing the situation, Cam was extremely pleased with what he found. And here his is clutching the goodies.

And he loved that as we came up to a house and the kids on the steps realized he couldn't walk, they came right up to his wagon and brought the treats to him!!! It was so sweet. Here he looks on in anticipation...


And here he is basking in all of his post trick or treating glory-the world's most adorable trick or treater!!

Admiring My Work

We didn't get to carve a pumpkin last year so this is a first for Cam.

Puppy Love

Just Woke Up

And immediately needed some toys!

Latest Game

Push the trash can around the kitchen anyone? Cam loves playing this game! It was all well and good until he knocked the entire can over the other night and spilled its contents out on the floor. Game over.

Getting Ready for Halloween...


Cam gets " vampirized" add "zombified"...

This picture is from last week but I love it so much I decided it needed to be posted.


He looks like he's about to get crazy doesn't he?

In the Leaves

Squirrel Hunting

Cam's favorite activity during our afternoon walks. He points them out and squeals when they get close. And when they run out of sight, he looks at me questioningly with his hands outstretched and palms facing up as if to say "where did they go mama?"

You can only imagine the cuteness...

Fall Treat

We love sharing a pumpkin muffin together! Here is Cam popping a most delectible morsel of a muffin in his mouth.

See This?

It is the "I am sooooooo about to get into something I shouldn't be" face. It is the exact opposite of stealth mode. It is the "go ahead and watch me because I'm about to put on a show of devilish proportions" face.



I was quite surprised to see a picture of this face because I would normally be dropping the camera to chase after him at this point...

Sunday Favorites



A new pumpkin, a Steelers win and a vacuum cleaner attachment.
That's all.

Happiness Is...

Going for a Ride

Snackin

The Shenanigans

That go on while I try to get dressed in the morning are unreal. Ripping pieces of toilet paper to tiny shreds, emptying trash baskets, knocking shampoos and conditioners all into bathtub? Yes- of course he will!!!

Must Touch

Mama's laptop...

Sticky Fingers

All over my laptop. He just can't stay away from it. And he's crafty. Time for some more toddler proofing...

Pumpkin Love

Cam not only enjoys playing with pumpkins, he enjoys their yummy flavor as well. He is always willing to share a pumpkin muffin with me and today he has discovered a delicious new way to top his toast. Pumpkin butter!!!! He loves it.

Because I Love Them...

Another wagon photo!

Nap Spot

Cam has finally entered into the beloved world of looong afternoon naps. He likes to take the first part in his crib and he wakes halfway through to be hugged and held and rocked into the second half. This half takes place on a warm, fuzzy, snuzzly blanket that I lay out across the floor in the den. And if this picture was a video you could hear the sweetest little sing song like snoring that is going on...

Say Cheese!

Getting Dressed

Is so overrated. And Cam is so over it. He would much rather run around the house looking something like this...

Monday Love

From yesterday...

Chomping on an apple slice and watching some football-life is good.

Afternoon Walk

And yep, that is THE white pumpkin...

The Tale of the White Pumpkin

Goes a little something like this...

Cam found it on my table a few weeks ago and was smitten. The white pumpkin has traveled everywhere with us lately. In the car, to the doctor's office (clutched desperately the entire time he had blood drawn), and even to the big kids park. Yep he was that kid, on the swing holding the white pumpkin the entire time. Attempting to climb up the slide while holding the pumpkin, the ENTIRE time. He's a strange little birdie he is.

Keep your stinky lamb!

This is actually from yesterday but somehow I forgot to post.
I found this tiny stuffed lamb while cleaning out my closet (go figure:). Since it was just his size and super soft I thought Cam might like it. This is the friendliest photo I have of Cam and the lamb. He mostly flung it, smacked it, batted it in my face or ferociously bit the poor thing. In what I determined to be an effort to say "you can keep your stinky lamb mama"!!!!
