A Halloween Birthday!

Our little man turned 2 - time is FLYING by!  And I have to admit that I love that his birthday is right before Halloween.  It's a great reason for the kids to wear their costumes numerous times before the actual holiday.  The first Halloween event was a trip to Country Mercantile with the Stirling family - the kids rode rides, visited the petting zoo, ran through the hay maze and then picked out pumpkins.  The weather was perfect and the kids were very excited!

Up next was AJ's birthday party in Wenatchee - friends and family joined us for pizza, games and more costumes!

Jake from Jake and The Neverland Pirates!

Ellie the cat and Addi the mermaid!

The next party was at our house in Richland with LOTS of kids, I mean friends :-)

Craft project!

Lots of presents! 

And last but not least - Halloween Day!  We went trick-or-treating at my work and Aaron's work, then went to the park for a few bouncy houses and a tour of a fire truck, then ended the evening at Round Table for pizza and games!

And now, two weeks later, AJ still begs and begs to eat his candy.  I'm tempted to throw it all away because he's so obsessed with it, but I got a crazy idea the other day that the candy could be used as a bribe for potty training... more to come!
