This year for Halloween, Jacks and I had MANY discussions about what he was going to be. It took a long time, but we finally agreed upon "Max" from the book "Where the Wild Things Are". He hasn't seen the movie (and I think it is still too scary for him, so he probably won't) but he LOVES reading the book. Here is a picture from the book...
And my real-life Max...
It turned out pretty cute, and it was nice and warm - perfect for a Minnesota Halloween! We started our day driving out to visit Gigi and Grandpa, Grandma Lois, the Newman's, and then the farm.
He doesn't hand out hugs very often - but Grandpa Keith was lucky to get one!
Here are all of the kiddos...I love the Cat in the Hat and his "Things"!
When we got back, Jacks and I both took a nap, and then it was off for more trick-or-treating. Darcy met Jacks at the door looking like a spider...and he LOVED it!
Then it was off to walk the streets. Here is Max saying "BE STILL" just like the book. Brad and Jacks read the book pretty often (he doesn't like me to read it because I don't do it right...) and he knows just what to say to sound like Max.
Here is the crew we went out with...
Jacks did a great job walking. he got a little tired at times, and asked to be carried a couple of times, but he was a trooper!
Beckers needed to rest his feet too...
We had such a great time. Everyone was cold and ready to be done by the end of the night, so we went back to Kelley and Gary's for some hot chocolate and popcorn (and drinks for those that could actually partake!) while the kids played. It's going to be so much different next year when we have a baby with us...I think one of us may have to stay home to hand out candy!
