Halloween

Halloween for us started last Wednesday with a special story time at the library. Cannon got to wear his Woody costume for story time and Miss Angela (the story time lady) had a goody bag for each child. After calling each child by name, they got to have their pictures taken in a fallish scenery setup. Cannon's cowboy attire coordinated well with the hay and orange leaves. He even smiled!

Then on Friday we had our church Fall Festival/Trunk-or-treat. This is what I was looking forward to the most. It started with a chile cook-off and lots of yummy food. Then some carnival games, a costume contest, and then the trunk-or-treating. Cannon actually won 3rd place in the costume contest! I have to say that he was absolutely adorable!

I was also really looking forward to decorating our trunk this year. Ryan is not into holidays, to say the least, but I'm hoping he will become more enthusiastic for Cannon's sake. He did have fun and thought my car decorations were cool. I thought that they would also have a contest for the best trunk, but I never heard who won (if anyone). I know we would have been at least in the top three. Our biggest competition was my friend Jodi. They decorated her husband's truck as CSI and had the theme music playing. That was really cool!


Last Monday we carved Cannon's pumpkin for FHE. This is his scary face!




The cutest Woody ever!


I spray painted my hair purple and it was fun!


Cannon's friend Ayden was Buzz.


Our car theme this year was "Student Driver." The picture doesn't show things very well, but there are branches and toilet paper all over the hood, a golf club, shoes, other shrubs, and a dead hand. Everyone thought our car was hilarious, especially the teenagers!


Our motto at the Rees Driving School: "It's better to be a little late than DEAD on time!"

So it's 7:19 pm at my house and Cannon has been sound asleep since 6:55 pm. I kinda feel bad that he is already in bed when everyone else is trick-or-treating, but we have to leave the house tomorrow at 6:40 am to be to an appointment. Yuck. He slept in today until 9:30 and didn't have a nap, so he was happy to go to bed so early. Ryan left for Illinois early this morning anyway, so he's not even home to be a part of the festivities. Next year for sure Cannon will get to go trick-or-treating!
