Halloween-What a Day!

We started the day off by taking a trip to Woodland Park. I couldn't believe this beautiful park was only about 5 miles from where we lived! The ducks and geese came running to us right when we got out of the car. It was kind of freaky, but Jacob was so pumped. He started running right to them too, like a romantic movie. The geese were kinda scary though, they were hissing at us if Jacob got too close. They were pretty dissapointed that we didn't have a loaf of bread to give them. Next time for sure we will be bringing bread. The sun came out at a perfect time, it has been raining here every single day!! It stopped for a while this morning, then came back, and now it's raining. I'm so glad it didn't rain during Trunk-or-Treating at the church. Jacob loved his costume. He hated it at first, but that was because it was too big, so after I rolled the sleeves and the legs, he didn't want to get out of it. When we got back from the church, Jacob wanted to go get the mail in it, and sit on the grass, and pet the neighbors dog, and play with his green ball in it. It was a great day. I'm so glad that the church was doing the trunk-or-treat, because we probably would have just gone to a couple of neighbors on our street. Jacob was unsure, of course, of the whole thing, but he was pretty excited about getting free candy from all these people. One lady thought he was so cute, she took a picture of him. Weird? Yeah, but all in all, it was a lot of fun. Crazy geese.
Jacob kept trying to sneek closer and closer to the water. I kept asking him where the ducks were and he kept pointing and "telling" me where they were.

We barely got out of the parking lot before the ducks and geese were right at hour feet.

This is at the church, right when we got there.

Once Jacob saw all the other kids, he darted for the candy. I had to run in front of him to try and get a picture with a smile.
You see the red dot on his head? Between his eyes? He tripped and landed right on a lego this morning. And, where the hat is covering his forehead, he has two red dots from the lego imprint.

We used a pillowcase that my mom sent in the mail for Jacob. Thanks mom! It worked great, and now Jacob gets to sleep with it.

This is the only picture I could get of him by his pumpkin smiling! He has three M&M's in his mouth, because I had to keep feeding them to him to get him to sit.

And of course, one of his favorite things... balls.
