Halloween cuteness

I didn't get too many pictures of Halloween, but I managed to get a few of Patrick in his costume, which is the important part, right? He was a crocodile/dinosaur, depending on what he wanted to call it. I had a cute idea for us to dress up like monkeys to go with his crocodile, but this pregnant lady ran out of energy that week, so Patrick was the only one who dressed up. He LOVED his tail. That was all he would talk about and wanted to show everyone his tail. I think Patrick would love to really have a tail on his body!

Patrick was definitely more interested in Halloween this year. We started talking about it at the beginning of the month when the decorations were up everywhere. We talked about it in preschool a couple of times, and he loved to point out the ghosts and bats and witches everywhere. He loved going to the pumpkin patch and picking out pumpkins too.

We went to the ward trunk-or-treat on Saturday and then on Monday he went trick-or-treating in Grandma and Grandpa Haight's neighborhood. He did really well this year, but both times he got distracted as soon as he got a sucker and he just wanted to stop and eat the sucker right then. When we went around the neighborhood he had to have a sucker in his hand the whole time. And he would say, "trick-or-treat" as we were walking around, but not when we got up to the door. He did know to hold up his bucket though. He ended up with just the right amount of candy for a three-year old to share with his mommy. :)

Sorry for the blurry pictures, but this three-year old doesn't stand still for very long!
