We've had a dreary Halloween here today - rainy & just plain gross! Good thing we took some pictures outside yesterday before we went to "Trick or Treat" at Daddy's work. Jeremiah was a Fireman this year, which worked out perfectly - especially for our wallet.
Disclaimer: This paragraph is about the awesome deal we were able to get on J's Halloween costume. If you're not interested in my frugality, then skip ahead. Nana bought J some fireman boots this summer at Hamrick's for $3 (because she thought they were cute). Since they were too big then & fit now, that gave me an idea for him to be a Fireman. I noticed one day that Kohl's carries Carter's Dress-up & Play PJs, which includes a fireman version. They were on sale, plus I used a 30% coupon, which made them around $8. Then I really lucked up to find an adorable red Fireman fleece in J's size at the MOPS Consignment sale for $3. So the total cost of his costume was $14 - all of which can continue to be worn after Halloween!! Mimi even brought up a costume "accessory" - a Little People Fireman's truck that has working lights/sirens, as well as a Dalmatian. :)
Instead of "trick or treating" this year, we decided to go to a "Trunk or Treat" at a local church. The weather put a bit of a damper on the bouncy house & hay ride, but the hot dogs & chicken stew were great! They did have the trunks set up & candy to be given out in the rain/drizzle, but we decided it was time to go home and get J ready for bed.
Here are some of our favorite pictures of the little guy in his costume, as well as a Halloween family photo.

Oops! I fell down.
Check out my boots! I like them a lot, but sometimes I have a bit of trouble walking in them.
This photo makes me laugh...he looks like his chest is all "puffed up" and he's "walking tall". Too cute!
Halloween is SO MUCH FUN!!
