Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween festivities began with our Church Festival. When it was time to get dressed, Reed couldn't make up his mind. He had literally worn his MSU football jersey for a week. We had to literally take it off of him in his sleep to wash it. All along, he had said that he wanted to be Fireman Mike for Halloween, but we were prepared for him to change his mind. Well, he finally decided to dress up as Fireman Mike as long as he could wear his MSU jersey underneath his costume!

Fireman Reed
Reed & Landon had a blast in the bouncers. They would run back in forth from one bouncer to the other bouncer.

As you can tell, it didn't take Reed long to shed the costume. We went to the Pre-School area to play some games.

Braylon, Reed, & Gavin playing one of the games.

He was bored with the Pre-School games, so we went
upstairs for the fun games!

He loved the fishing game.

He was so excited when he caught a piece of candy.

This was his favorite game. He loved throwing
the bean bags at Mr. Pevey's face.

We tried to go play some other games, but Reed
said "I want to go throw that bag at that man's face again!"
So, we went back and played this game again.
After the festival, we headed to the Robertsons'
house to eat supper and go trick-or-treating.

Another picture of us.

We finally got everyone dressed and ready to go.
Sienna, Reed, & Landon

Reed was so excited!

Knocking on the first door.

Reed tried to walk into the first house. We had to run up there and remind him not to walk into the houses.

Headed to the next house.

Reed was a pro at trick-or-treating.
He would say "Trick-or-treat! Thank you!" or
"Trick-or-treat! Thanks!"
They all three loved this house because it had a dancing ghost.

They literally stayed at this house for at least 5 minutes playing with the ghost.

Reed & Landon

Waiting for his turn...

We went to several houses and had so much fun.
On the way back, Reed's bag was so heavy that he started dragging it on the ground. He wanted to go to a few more houses until we told him we were going back to the Robertsons' house to watch the Bulldogs play. As soon as we got back to Landon's house, it was time for him to break back out the jersey! We love our little bulldog football player!

Hey Erin,
I was just looking at your pregnancy ticker on top of your blog - I can't believe you're getting so close! Can you believe you're 26 weeks?! I can't wait to see pics of new baby! I'll be praying that the rest of your pregnancy goes really well!
Cute halloween pics! I'm not surprised Reed got bored w/ the preschool games - he seems so far ahead developmentally for his age. What a cutie - both fireman and bulldog!
Love ya,
Alison
