Happy Halloweeeeeen 2012

So J-man had quite the successful 2nd Halloween. It started on Sunday afternoon at our church Trunk or Treat. James was SUPER DUPER excited about two things: a cool (little jankety) CHOO-CHOO train and fire trucks! He was just a little too small for the games but (as always) loved seeing all the big kids. After Trunk or Treat we had a nice fun family dinner, and then Jimbo had to hit the road for Atlanta (blah).

Today (actual Halloween) we had some Volvo car issues (go figure), so once I got J all dressed up we headed to pick Jimmy up from work a little after 5pm. We trick or treated at The Costigans and checked out their new house. Then to The Springs for more Trunk or Treat fun with Nana and Pop, and then a quick hop over to see Grandmama and Sandra.

After seeing some family and friends we headed home to give out candy. We are hoping to get to show Ma his costume tomorrow AM, and we are looking forward to visiting Meme and Pawpaw for this weekend for Josh's wedding.

Life sure is busy, but certainly fun!

My two monkeys at Trunk or Treat at Mauldin Methodist Church...

....pre-church... our little boy LOVED his costume...

And I LOVE my little monkey SO MUCH! Even if he breaks my lamps :)

James & Daddy at church

Cheesy biscuits :)

... "TRUCK!"....

He was excited, and scared at the same time...

Uh oh.... he spotted the CHOO! CHOO! :)

Here our little J-man is contemplating actually sitting in the fire truck... He wasn't so sure...

He's still not ENTIRELY sure... 

... he's warming up...

.... THINKIN' 'bout it....

Oh yeah. He's digging driving the big fire truck. 

He loved that steering wheel.....

And the Mauldin firemen were SO sweet...

James and mommy got to ride on the ... neat... quite rough.... choo choo train! 

Here...

... we go!

Dinner after trunk or treat! James decided he is a big boy 

and needs to sit at the table rather than the high chair (ha!)...

Halloween morning our little man was sleeping hard...

I had to wake him for mom's morning out, but snuck a couple sweet pics of him snuggled up with his bebe (aka blankie)... He loves that blanket and that thumb... (and I do too! They both help him sleep so well!)

(... pictures are blurry because they were taken in the dark before we 

turned on the light to wake the munchkin up....)

Trick-or-treating at the Costigans! Thanks for the yummy treats and the photo, MS! :)

Trunk or treat at the Springs with Nana and Pop! This picture (below) was after J-man was a little freaked out by the adult costumes... Batman and a (scary) clown were not a hit with James! :) But I think we all enjoyed how shy and cuddly he was. 

Go figure.. He loved the old blue truck! We actually put him in, but it kind of scared him a little bit... The pic below was right after Nana pulled him out... :)

J-man loves some "Nanaaaaa..."

.... and I love this pic!

When we got home and got ready for dinner, James turned 

from monkey to Tom Cruise... slash... pant-less gardener?? :) Fun times...

Sadie was a little freaked out by all the door bell ringing, and it was hilarious how she SPRUNG on to Jimmy's lap after we put J to bed. 

Happy Halloween y'all!! :) 

Now to end on a little Halloween video... Here's a cute video of James all dressed up... He was really good at saying, "Oooohhh oooohhhh ahh! ahhh!" when he put on his costume but always gets a little camera shy. He is pretty good at saying, "Hiiiiii" and "Bye bye" :) Enjoy!
