Seeing as it was the last Saturday before Halloween, our day was filled with Halloween festivities. We started the partying at the Roberts' with chili and a pumpkin carving party. Yum!
Oliver didn't get too into the pumpkin carving, but he did find the 'guts' rather facinating. His new thing is to hide things from us and then look at us and shrug his shoulders as if he has no idea what just happened. He found his new game to be particularly effective with the pumpkins. He kept throwing different utensils into the pumpkin and shrugging his shoulders the whole time I was trying to get the seeds out.
After the pumkin carving party it was off to the ward Halloween party. Oliver got to be a dragon for Halloween this year and we have been practicing wearing his costume around the house. Sam and I each took turns wearing it and roaring and trying to convince Ollie that it was super fun. All our brainwashing seemed to have paid off becuase he kept it on the whole time without complaint.
Oliver loved the carnival games. Especially the ones that involved candy.
We even made a cake for the cake walk.
And decorated our car for the Trunk-or-Treat.
Unfortunately Oliver was done at this point. He has been PTS-ing (peevish teething syndrome) pretty bad this week and so we didn't even make it to our last party at Parker and Emily's house. Sorry guys. All-in-all it was a good day though and we are all practiced up for some good ole' trick-or-treating this coming weekend.
