Halloween 2012--Oompa Loompa

We decided to take Crawford to Corinne's house for Halloween so he could experience trick or treating with his cousins. I love watching Crawford grow and see how he interacts each time with each of the kids. Ryan (6) is just so sweet to him. Hayden (3) who used to push him down really plays so well with Crawford now. Blake (16 months) would do whatever Crawford was doing. It was a crazy couple of days with all the kids. I had seen an oompa-loompa costume on pinterest and just knew I had to replicate it. I had to chase Crawford around outside while trying to spray his hair green and attach those eyebrows but it was so worth it to watch him run around from house to house in his cute little costume.

He really had a ball following Ryan and Hayden from door to door. Then...we got to the house that had the giant chicken dressed up and he got scared...then he would run to the house with the girls but would stop about 20 feet from the door. Ryan would politely say "can I have a piece of candy for my baby cousin" it was a hoot.

This trip Hayden and Crawford played so well together.


We met Meghan and Luke for lunch at chick-fil-a and after playing we walked back to the  car and as I tried to stand in the middle of the two and hold their hands Crawford pushed me away and ran around to hold Hayden's hand...soo sweet!


Trying to get a group shot. Ryan-mermaid, Hayden-fairy, Blake-pirate


The next night Ryan, Crawford and I went to Meghan's to visit Luke and have pizza with the. John pulled out some glow sticks and Ryan was fascinated. We had a ball watching the 3 kids play and Ryan played with all the baby toys and behaved so well and Meghan and I got to catch up and talk about how much fun it would be if we lived in the same city..sigh.


I took Hayden and Crawford to tata-rus while Corinne through a Matilda Jane open house and the kids had a ball running around on the bouncy floor. Crawford followed Hayden everywhere. Hayden was great and loved swinging on the rope into the foam pit. They definitely ran off some energy there!


Hayden likes wearing dress up clothes all.the.time such a girly girl! I just wish we lived closer so I could watch the kids create such sweet memories!
