Boo!!

Happy Halloween! We went to my parents this weekend for their halloween party so he could see all his cousins. He had a great time trying to follow them around, but is still just a little too small to play with them. All the costumes were great and in case you can't figure it out, Ben is a garden gnome.

On saturday we went to the St. Louis zoo and for some reason it didn't click to me that it was Boo at the Zoo so Ben was one of the only kids not in costume that day...oops. We did however run into my cousin and her darling little girl Audrey! What a great surprise! Apparently Ben isn't the only one who doesn't like to share as Audrey did not like Ben in her wagon for a picture so the only pic with them together is one neither of them were to sure of.

Then I was able to meet up with my friend Pam and her newest addition - Daniel. For some reason I was much to interested in holding and playing with Danny that I forgot to get a pic of him. He's precious and I'm so excited for her and Chris.

We also were able to meet up with my other cousin Katy and her little girl Hadleigh. She could not be any cuter and full of smiles. Ben of course had trouble sharing with her and used his favorite word (NO!) way too often. But it was great to see so much family this weekend and can't wait til next time.

 Tonight we went to a few houses around our block to get the full effect of Halloween and Ben did a terrific job. He loved walking from house to house and peeking in through their doors, but was not to fond of when people were actually in the house and answered. Nonetheless, I am hopeful that he already has the Halloween spirit and will love trick or treating in the future. Even the scary houses didn't bother him!  Too bad I couldn't get him to keep his beard on, but at least he hat stayed on!
