Happy Halloween!

This year, for his first Halloween, Larkin decided to be a dragon. We were at Old Navy checking out all of our options when I finally narrowed it down to a shark or dragon.

Just as I was putting the shark in our cart and started hanging up the dragon costume, Larkin grabbed a hold of it and started eating it, which I took be a sure sign he preferred to be a reptile this year.



Baby Dragons need pacifiers to keep from spitting out fire

This weekend Larkin posed with his buddies Sam and Reese for a cute Halloween pic.

Notice the babies don't look quite as happy as the mommies ;)

Today, on Halloween, we went to our playgroup where Larkin posed for some more Halloween pics with his friends.

Posing the babies takes a little effort



From Left to Right: Monte the Cowboy, Price aka Charlie Brown, Branch the duck, Sophia the ballerina, Oliver the Elephant and Larkin the Dragon

Larkin's costume was complete with wings and tail- which was not carseat compatible

It's exhausting work being so cute!

Adorable, Poor Monte!  He does not like sitting in the corner

Happy Halloween!

Playgroup

This past week, Larkin and I met up with some girls from my church who live in the Lake Highlands area and all have babies Larkin's age.  We met up at one of the girls' houses and spent an hour just talking and letting the babies interact.  It is fun to see all of their little personalities and watch them all together.  From the most chill baby to the most dramatic - how neat the Lord has given each one a unique personality! 

Larkin and his buddies Branch and Sophia

 Larkin loves that there are so many boys in our group, but he thought little Sophia was pretty cute too.  Sophia was born at the exact same minute as Larkin!  Isn't that crazy?

 

No babies were hurt in the taking of these pictures, but a few did have meltdowns :)





 Near the end once one started crying, the others quickly followed suit and our get together was quickly dismissed as mommy's rushed to go put babies down for naps!

Looking forward to many more playdates ahead!!

Another Pumpkin Patch

There is a really cute little pumpkin patch at the church across the street from our house we decided to visit today. We bundled Larkin up and put him in the Baby Bjorn. Larkin seems to like the ride for the first 20 minutes and then he's ready to be free. Piper tagged along for the family outing.







Larkin and Piper helped us pick out 3 pumpkins. It was such a gorgeous morning and fun to get out using the Baby Bjorn. Piper made friends with the pumpkin patch workers and tried to carry away the pumpkin we picked out by the stem.

Larkin's first official pumpkin





It made for a fun little outing and the beginning of a possible pumpkin picking tradition :)

Spooky Footprints!

Larkin and I decided to get crafty this week after seeing a cute pin on pinterest this past week.




A few messy feet later, we ended up with a cute canvas to hang with a Halloween ribbon and a few cards to send to family. Isn't this a cute idea? Happy Halloween!

Sweet Sleep Again

Guess who slept ALLLLLL night last night?!!! YAY LARKIN! We put him down at 8, Dream fed at 10:30; little guy woke up at 5:30, and after a paci "insert" was back down until 8 am!



To celebrate, we stayed in our duckie PJs ALL day today. Let's go for a 2 night streak, buddie!
