Halloween 2010

This Halloween with Sawyer had to be our favorite holiday yet.  He loved it and kept Clint and I laughing the entire time.  The highlight was definitely Halloween night (we celebrated on Saturday, Oct 30th).  This is our first year to celebrate Halloween in Bartlesville.  We had no idea what we were getting into.  We bought 12 bags of candy and went though it within an hour because of all the trick or treaters.  Some of our neighbors counted and had anywhere from 500 to 2000 kids come by!

Sawyer was the perfect trick or treater.  He said his line, got his candy, and said thank you.  He was so happy and tickled over it.  Then he got to hand out candy.  OMG!  It was hilarious.  He sat in the chair guarding the bowl and as soon as the doorbell rang he was off running as fast as he could to the door.  Every single time.  He gave the kids their candy and a few of the costumes made him laugh so hard he couldn't control himself.  He ran after a real pretty little girl his age, and some of the girls started calling him the "Halloween Baby".  He thought that was the funniest thing he ever heard. 

At the pumpkin patch, Sawyer was more into the toys than the pumpkins.

We told Sawyer he could have whatever pumpkin he wanted.  At first we were impressed with his taste.

Then he found "his pumpkin".  It was small, rotten and green.  He would not put it down.  Yes, Clint and I paid money for that pumpkin.

Clint's parents came in for Saturday.  We celebrated Doug's birthday.  Sawyer doesn't understand yet that all parties aren't for him.

Sawyer helped dad carve a pumpkin, but quickly lost interest.

I had no idea Clint had so much talent.

Sawyer was a monkey for Halloween because he is really into Curious George.  He is going through a phase where it is almost impossible to get a good picture.  He started the night with his monkey hat on, but would not keep it on.  He was still pretty adorable.
