Halloween

I could post a thousand pictures from this week. It was hard enough to pick 30 or so to post on my Facebook page but I did it. This week Pete started popping up on all fours like a pro. See pic. One more step closer to mobility. It's neat to see but for a mom who wishes her son would never grow up it's a little sad. And we did some fun Halloween stuff this week that mom probably enjoyed way more than Pete did but that's ok. He was the cutest green dinosaur ever. If one bright green dinosaur costume wasn't enough I had to get another one that showed just how precious he is, hence the Baby Bugs outfit. Don't worry, they were both purchased at garage sales this summer for $3/each so I had to splurge on both. P. would have preferred I passed on the Bugs Bunny outfit but it was in such great shape and I knew he would be such a doll in it I had to bring it home.

Wed. we went to the church for "trunk or treating". What a fun concept. It's like a giant tailgater where they decorate each trunk the same theme as their costume. Then you trick or treat to each trunk and get all your candy that way. One, you walk a whole lot less and two, if you don't live in a neighborhood like us this is a great way to get your candy. So, Pete got his candy. :) Friday night we went over to our friend's house in a neighborhood close by. We had some great food, fun times and got to show off Pete to a few of our close friends who share most of Pete's firsts and exciting events. All in all it was a great first Halloween. How fun are all these firsts? For me, they are what I live for now. What is next? Pete's first Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's. Pete crawls, Pete gets a tooth, Pete walks, Pete gets a sibling.....Ha, got ya. Nope, not yet. But boy will that be a fun blog to post for me, God willing, God providing.

Ok, time for bed. Here are my top 5 pics from this week. Or 7. Maybe 8.
Ok, 9 pictures.
