The most amazing Thanksgiving float ever!

Mr. Bones is making his 1st appearance in the parade!

Noah has been inspired by the Macy's floats!

Lovely day...

Noah's been a little under the weather, but we felt like he'd been cooped up in the house long enough, and as it was a gorgeous day (note the intense blue sky!), we went to the park. My everlasting thanks again to my dear friend Lori for the fabulous R2D2 hat!

Happy Halloween!

Noah had a great time trick-or-treating. We pretty much stuck to our neighborhood, but hit every house that had a porch light on--so we went to about 10 or so houses, which, for a 4 1/2 little boy, he got plenty of candy! It was a nice night out--not too cold, so he didn't need his skeleton hoodie. We also had a great time doing Boo in the Zoo again this year, and I think he enjoyed seeing the other kids in costume more than the actual getting of candy.

We also stopped by Mom & Dad's to trick-or-treat and to show off our not-very-scary skeleton, and Noah had fun with Dad's Rasta wig.

After Halloween, we stopped by WalMart and snagged a Spooky House kit and we all had fun decorating it. It is my opinion, though, that the picture on the box showing you what the finished product looks like is PhotoShopped!

Enjoy the pictures!

(His carving kit had eyes that you could stick in the pumpkin to give it different looks.)

Daddy carved a Mickey pumpkin for Noah. I wish I'd taken a picture of the Jack Skellington one...they turned out really well.

Noah's costume!

At Boo in the Zoo, with "Frankenschteim"--which is what he calls Frankenstein. And, he usually calls him "Frankenschteim's Monster" (which is technically correct--the monster himself never really has a name, he's just universally called "Frankenstein.")

This is after the Not-Very-Scary Haunted House, and Noah is modeling one of the many treats he acquired--a piggy mask that goes very well with the skeleton costume.

Eating a piece of candy and just looking silly.

He wanted his picture taken with Humpty Dumpty. What the Egg Man has to do with Halloween, I have no idea.

At Mom & Dad's, playing with the skeleton on the front door...in Dad's Rasta wig!

Beginning to assemble the Spooky House.

Noah's black tongue...from pretty much sucking out the black icing from the tube.

Pointing to his creation--with black icing smeared along his face, asserting that yes, he DID suck the icing out of the tube!

Noah and Daddy!

The finished creation...which looks nothing like what was shown on the box! But it is somewhat tasty...sort of.
