Happy Halloween!

Whew! What a busy first Halloween for Joey today. He attended two parties, endured mommy's quest for the perfect in-costume picture and then did the trick-or-treating thing in the evening too. Joey is completely zonked, mommy is wiped and daddy....well, he's just digging through the candy to see what goodies Joey brought home.

Below are some of our Halloween photo highlights. Click here to see all of the pictures from our busy day.

The day started off with a little morning grazing. Every cow needs some grass! While we're at it, we'd like to point out how green and lush our yard is and recognize just how great of a job daddy is doing at keeping up with the mowing and fertilizing.

Then we hit our first shindig - it was a party with the neighborhood playgroup for kids under 2. Everything started out great. Joey was happy and really into watching the other kids crawl and walk around.

Plus, he met a cutie girl named Hannah.

Then the mommies decided it would be a great idea to get a group photo of the kids. That's when the meltdown began. It started with one baby crying because she didn't want to sit on the blanket without her mommy. Then like a bunch of dominos, the babies went down one by one. And here's what it looked like by the time it got to Joey.

So we quickly decided to head home for a nap and try to recover before the next party. After the nap, Joey was in good spirits again and mommy decided to try for some more pictures in our yard.

Mommy also decided that we should wait for daddy to get home so he could come to the party with us and join in all the Halloween "fun".

Here's Joey with the party host, Superman Matthew. The boys are friends from Kindermusik. Look at Joey checking out Matthew's costume. I'm thinking next year we might go the superhero route instead of the barnyard animal theme.

And then finally it was time for trick-or-treating. Here's Joey's very first attempt at trick-or-treating at the home of one of our friendly neighbors down the street.

And here's Joey with our next-door neighbors, Marty and Jenna. Either Joey has about had it or he is terrified of Marty's costume???!!!!????
