what a funny time of year! we were going to dress cole up as whinny the pooh. he has a cute little outfit that my cousin gave him when he was born. it just fits! we were pretty excited about that. it took all the stress out of figuring out what to do for a costume. but, as luck would have it, the week of halloween saw temperatures here in the upper 90s. it didn't even dip below 70 even at night! it was way too hot to wear a sweatshirt!! so, for our ward halloween party we resorted to our favorite thing to wear - swimming stuff. cole was a surfer instead of pooh bear. he seemed to think that was just fine. :) on halloween it was 98* so we stuck with the surf stuff!

dad and cole socializing at the halloween party- we met lots of cool people there. it was fun to do it with 2 wards!

this is cole's favorite halloween decoration. grandma neff gave it to me when i was teaching school to set up in my classroom. it's really our only halloween decoration, but it's just as well. cole had to have it turned on every time he ate (4 or 5 times a day) and every time he walked by the kitchen table (the rest of the day). he figured out how to unplug it and he loves carrying it around the house. now that halloween is over i have to hide it. i can't find the box, so he still finds it once in awhile and we have to get it down an let him carry it all around for hours.
