Costumes and Pumpkin Painting

We started the Halloween Fun early this year.  We already have the boys costumes, since we found some really cute tiger pajamas for Peter, and then found a cute tiger costume for Will at the very next store we went to.  Here is a couple preliminary pictures since we haven't been able to get a good one of the two of them together yet.

Peter's 1st Halloween costume

Will in his tiger costume (it's almost impossible to get him to look at a camera right now)

Then this past Monday we decided that we wanted to go ahead and paint our pumpkins (we will carve them the Monday before Halloween).   This is the first year that I gave Will a paint brush and just let him go to town on his pumpkin.  It was pretty much a painted green blob, but that's okay he had an absolute blast.

And onto the pumpkin it goes

This was Pete during the majority of the pumpkin painting fun 

Will, Mom & Peter (Dad unfortunately had school and so painted his pumpkin later

We also had some beautiful paper plates by the end

Will was very messy by the end, but it was worth it, he had a blast.  After we were finished it was onto the tub.  


The front view (check out the arms and the legs right below his shirt)

And the back of his arms

We are going to have a great October and start to the Fall.

It was worth letting him so it, I have never seen him stay entertained for so long.
