"Trick or Treat...ARRR!!"

PARKER THE PIRATE


THIS IS HIM SAYING "ARRR!"




Happy Halloween! We had both of our families over last night for a little Halloween party and to let the kids go trick-or-treating. Parker did not want to go down for his nap yesterday b/c he was ready to go trick-or-treating right then. It is very hard to explain "time" to a 2 1/2 year old. I promised him if he took a REALLY good nap for mommy that when he woke up it would almost be time to go trick-or-treating. So, I got everything out and decorated for the party while he was sleeping. 3 hours later when he woke up (he took me literally on the really good nap part) he went to the top of the stairs, looked down and said, "Look Mommy, it's pumpkins Birthday party." He then started "attempting" to sing Happy Birthday to pumpkin. He later wanted to know "Where pumpkin's Birthday presents?" I was cracking up! Everyone came over that night, and we had dinner and then headed out for trick-or-treating. I think all of the kids had a blast, and racked up on some major candy. Parker got the hang of it real fast, and at almost every house we went to he said his line we had been practicing. "Trick or Treat, ARRR!" The kids were wound up when we got back to the house! But- we did manage to get Parker to bed by 9:00 last night, without being on a sugar high! All in all- it was a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween!!! Hope all of you had a great one as well. Here are some pics from the recent Halloween adventures!
