this was the first year that Rupe was really old enough to be involved in and enjoy halloween. and he loved it! which overjoyed my heart, because so do I! i won't use this as a platform to go on and on about my beliefs surrounding halloween, but I will say that we love pumpkins, we love dressing up and we love candy and we also love Jesus, so suck it nay sayers.
rupe is obsessed with pumpkins! I think he comes over to the table and "plays" with our pumpkin every day. we also watched It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, and he has asked to watch every day since, except he calls it the Pumpkin show.
our clean boy would only use a spoon... thanks daddy! ;D
rupe requested we carve an owl which is awesome and bizarre as he hasn't loved owls as much as he used to, but we found this fairly simple pattern online so I was happy :D
we ventured down to Victoria to do halloweening with the cousins, all three of them as one more has been added to their number! sweet little baby girl Anna Grace. we are glad she is here and Rupe is fairly in love which bodes well for the arrival of his very own baby sister.
i'm not sure if it gets much cuter than these three together, although I'm sure their baby siblings will add to the cuteness in the future :D
little shark boy. rupe saw a pic with his tongue out by accident and decided to replicate it... multiple times.
he was fairly hilarious during the trick or treating. we went down to the village in oak bay where most of the stores had opened their doors to fill our bags with goodies! rupe was thrilled about the candy but had a very solemn, I don't know what's happening, kind of face most of the time.
sweet little Anna bear
we made it to a few houses close grammie and grampy's house. rupe had gotten a little more into it by then and was running up to the doors behind his cousins saying, "shark too, shark too!" and when his costume was acknowledged would growl at the candy givers.
i'm so very glad that we live close enough to family that we can do fun things like this! and oh how that boy loves his cousins!
