lions and pumpkins and fun, oh my!!!

This past weekend we took Mac to pick out our pumpkins. As some of you know I LOVE to pick out pumpkins and every year I drag Charlie with with me. I can spend hours looking at them all and picking out just the perfect ones. However, this year, I didn't have to beg Charlie too much....he was just as excited as I was to take Mac to one of my favorite traditions. We had a great time and Mac even picked out his own little pumpkin.

After the pumpkin outing, Mac had a Halloween playdate with his friends in the neighborhood. It took about 4 tries to get the facepaint to stay on Mac's face, but eventually we got it to work. He has two Halloween costumes to wear this year, so he wore the lion to this party and for Halloween he will be a skunk. After we got Mac dressed, Charlie and I just couldn't quit laughing...at one point Charlie asked Mac if he felt as ridiculous as he looked...it is sad what we do to our kids for a laugh:)

Update on Mac: trying his best to do "the indian"..putting his hand over his mouth and making a lot of noise (thanks to mimi for that one), saying "bye-bye" and waving to anyone that leaves, he is obsessed with being outside and especially with spiderman...he will continuously push spidey up and down the street until Charlie or I give out. As I mentioned before, he has also learned the sign "more" and he has taken it to a whole new level...signs it everytime he walks into the kitchen, whenever he is hungry, and you don't dare eat your food in front of him unless you are willing to share! What can I say...the boy loves his food!!
