I have to admit, since it became October I’ve kinda been dressing Logan up like it was Halloween all month long. 🙂 Not every day, of course. But he had a few cute outfits that were Halloween themed, as well as these adorable pumpkin pants:
What can I say? We were getting in the spirit!
As for his costume, I picked it up at this giant kids resale event last month that was going on near the house. It had everything you could ever want or need for a baby or kiddo and I got a few holiday outfits and some toys and books that I’ll wrap up for Christmas. I got his costume there for $4. Perfect! Especially considering that in one month it almost didn’t fit anymore.
My little pumpkin:
Except that ever since Logan decided to crawl FOR REALS about two weeks ago, he hasn’t stopped moving and that also meant photo shoots were a bit more challenging. He would not sit still for even a second while I tried to snap his picture. 🙂
Little Man was more curious about everything going on around him, instead.
How was my Halloween weekend? Well kind of a bummer!
I had plans to go to this great Halloween party with some friends at the Davis Graveyard but unfortunately a few days before I got the bad news from the doctor that I had a head cold AND viral bronchitis and she prescribed me bed rest for three days. I kind of balked at that and asked if it was necessary and she said yes, if I wanted to get better instead of worse, I needed to be in my PJs resting for the next three days. Which, with a tiny baby, is laughable. But I followed doctor’s orders and spent Friday, Saturday, Sunday basically in bed or on the couch watching Netflix, taking care of Logan and sleeping.
Michael took care of me and picked up Pho for dinner Friday night and I think I used half a bottle of sriracha in it. And then he kindly baked me some Lactation Cookies Saturday. Being sick I had a major dip in my supply. Since he hates baking, it really meant a lot that he spent the time to make them!
On Monday I was feeling better, but not 100%, and went to work. Unfortunately Logan was getting a head cold that is apparently going to be passed around our house until the end of time. 🙁
But he was in pretty good spirits after dinner so we took him trick or treating to a few neighbor’s houses. We went to three neighbor’s houses that we knew and they were all delighted to see the little punkin! Even if we weren’t really trick or treating.
Next year he’s gonna love it!
Happy Halloween!!

Adorable little PumpkinMan 🙂 Love that big grin – he just keeps getting cuter, doesn’t he?
Hey, thanks for the book reviews, too – I added a couple to my ever-growing library list. Thank goodness for the “pause” feature, or I’d really be buried in books 🙂
Have you ever read any Richard Russo? I had read some of his short stories and liked them, so when I heard Everybody’s Fool was just released, I decided to go back and read Nobody’s Fool from 1993 so I could catch up with the characters. It was really good! It kind of reminded me of A Man Called Ove a little bit, just that large cast of quirky characters and a curmudgeonly title character. If you haven’t read it, you may want to give it a try.
Take care!

Thank you for the recommendation. I love hearing about new (to me) authors. I added him to my Goodreads list!

Love Logan’s smile and yours too in the last picture! Won’t be long now and he will be walking!
I hope you both get well quick.

I think a pumpkin is the standard first Halloween costume! LOL I saw a lot of them. 🙂 Oh well, I’ve never been very creative when it comes to costumes.
