Austin's First Halloween

We had such a blast this Halloween thanks to our little guy. He made the most adorable baby cow! He even had a little tail! My mom and sisters came over to celebrate with us and we all had a blast. Once Josh got off work we put Austin in his outfit and took him trick-or-treating for the first time. I have to give the kid props, he knows how to work it! He sat there in my arms holding his little Hersheys chocolate bar looking as adorable as possible in his cow outfit and people were literally dumping whole buckets of candy into his bag because they couldn't get over how cute he was! We all benefited from this of course ;). Josh and I took turns holding him because after a while of carrying a baby around the neighborhood your arms start to get tired. I just have to say, we moved into the best community! Everyone totally got into the holiday spirit! The houses were all decorated and even the adults were dressed up in the most elaborate costumes! It made us all realize what lame-o's we are because none of us had dressed up for Halloween in years. Next year though!

Austin was having so much fun that he fell asleep in Dad's arms as we were circling the block back to our house. We came home with all of our loot and ate our homemade pumpkin bisque I made in the adorable pumpkin shaped bread bowls my mom had bought and then watched Beetle Juice per Josh's request and pigged out on candy. He had bought the movie weeks ago and was dying for Halloween to come so he could watch it and relive his childhood. That guy makes me laugh so hard sometimes ;).
