Love Me Some Orange

Baby Z's Halloween costume was adorable for 2.5 minutes. It was a balmy 75 degrees that night and this fur was really warm:


I had to really regroup to remember that Halloween was about having fun and not get too disappointed about the short-lived costume. After peeling the costume off a writhing Baby Z, we went to a Fall Festival at my Mom's church. It's the same one I went to many, many times as a kid and a lot of the games were exactly the same. Talk about a blast from the past. Anyway, the bouncy house was Baby Z's favorite thing, although he really liked eating 3 mini-cupcakes also.

The day before Halloween, we went to a pumpkin patch that has rides and a petting zoo. Baby Z LOVED riding the choo-choo train. He got to sit in the front car and he rang the bell the entire time. It was so adorable! I was grinning the entire time. I finally understand why parents go to Disneyland and places like that. Seeing that look of joy on his face was worth the inconveniences (crowds, heat, cost, etc.).


All in all, our fall and Halloween festivities were fun. What's better than a pumpkin bigger than your child?
