I love this picture of Owen at the party. He's a Hull already!! Making silly faces in pictures is a Hull boy tradition. My son has learned this skill young!
Here's all the kids at the playgroup party. Owen was having a total a fit. As you can see he is trying to crawl towards me and away from all the kids.
After the party (and a nice long nap to recover) we headed to my in-laws for all the trick-or-treating goodness.
I want to stop for a second and kind of explain the madness that takes place on Olive Street in Redlands on Halloween. First of all the police block off the entire street so no one can drive on the street while kids are out trick-or-treating. And believe me: this is totally necessary!! Every year we go to the Hull's on Halloween to watch the "parade" as we like to call it. We all sit on the porch, hand out candy, and admire all the kids in costumes. This is not a joke when I tell you that we handed out about 1600 pieces of candy that night (and that's giving one piece per person!!!) There is a continues line of people from about 6:00 until 9:00. It is the craziest thing I have ever seen in my life! I think everyone needs to experience the Redlands Halloween at least once in your life because you won't believe me until you actually see it for yourself!!
Once we were settled into place on Grandma's porch I put Owen in his cute little monkey costume. Spencer kept calling him an Ewok, but he was still a hunky monkey to me!
My brother and Allison joined us for the first time this year. They had always heard our Halloween stories of all the trick-or-treaters so they finally decided to come and see it for themselves.
Our friends Scott and Haley and baby Jackson also came to join in on the fun.
It was fun to see Ashley and Jason and little Hudson. We had quite the group this year, which made it that much more fun!
Things go even more crazy when Kevin and his friends showed up all dressed up. Are you kidding me with the gladiator get-up? Did you lose a bet? For the record I don't even know the half-naked guy!
Our first Halloween as three instead of just two! I'm sure with each year it will just keep getting more and more fun!
Cute cousins. Hudson the frog and Owen the monkey.
Spencer and Cody taking a break from handing out candy to pose for a picture.
Happy first Halloween to our cute little monkey! We love you so much!!

Sounds crazy that that many people come around for candy.
My in laws live in Redlands too on cypress by the hospital and they maybe got 6 kids come to their door. (that means more leftover candy for us to eat when we visit :)
I love everything about this post. I mostly love the darling monkey and frog though! I almost can't take it! So stinkin' cute!
Also loving the skull shirt. Was that the one you bought at CUW? So darling!
