The Gardner's: Halloween!!

Boo!! Well Halloween was a great time. As you can see we had a small pumpkin patch and a spider man. Caleb was supposed to be sponge bob and we even had a costume for him to wear but he changed his mind at the last minute to be spider man. I had bought the costume at the baby mania sale for a friend, but they already had a spider man costume so I kept it for Caleb. He was obviously excited about it. He, up until the end said that he was going to go out as spider man and come back and change 'real quick' and go back out as sponge bob. That didn't happen, but he was a cute spidey anyway. The babies were adorable in their pumpkin suits (Caleb calls them suits). When I brought them home awhile ago, Caleb asked where his pumpkin suit was. I felt so bad because he looked sad so I told him we would make his sponge bob look like a pumpkin with a hat or something and he seemed ok then.

We always host Halloween with a haunted garage and whoever wants to come over can. We have a pot of chili, hot dogs to roast on the fire and yummy snacks. It is usually Marks sisters and their families, our next door neighbors, some others depending on the year. This year my dad offered to come over and help with the babies and Marks Grandma Gardner and his dad stayed to help as well. This was so nice since that is always a hard time with the babies and we were both able to be with Caleb trick or treating. The babies did not go out after dark but enjoyed the company of their grandpas and great grandma.

Caleb is not shy and went right up to all of the doors. We kept telling him he had to have a trick or song or something in order to get candy so he sang "The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout. Out came the goblin and took the spider out!!" I think it is from the spider man movie and he came up with it on his own so I thought that was even more cute. Some people thought that he did not know the whole song and tried to finish it for him but most everyone laughed.
