Our lil giraffe went trick-or-treating!

Halloween morning we woke up to this :) I just love our view, especially on mornings when it is cool and foggy. Well the coolness didn't last long as the temperature crept up into the high 80's but hey, it is Florida in October right?

Well, Daddy was wonderful as always and let me catch a few extra zzzz's but if you look at the next 3 pictures, you will see what these 2 boys were up to all morning :)



The best part is the video but I'm too impatient to wait for that to upload so the pictures will work for now :) Michael made a MESS and loved every darn second of it! Daddy had as much fun with it too and he was so excited to share with me what they did all morning :) They know me well because it was cleaned up by the time I came down!

Once we were up and ready, we had plans to meet up with Brooklynn at West Marion Hospital, where Amy is stationed out of for Marion Co EMS. She had spoke with the staff a few days prior and they told her to bring the kids up for the morning and they would be dressed up, passing out some candy so of course, we penciled in this activity to our Halloween schedule. Besides, Michael always looks forward to his quality time with Brooklynn.

We didn't dress Michael until we got there, even though the hospital is just down the road. His costume was comfy but heavy and big. Since the costume was 18 month, Daddy had to roll lil man's sleeves up :)
Sweet lil Brooklynn, her mom Amy and sister Lauren had been so kind to stop and pick up a pumpkin for Michael since we had forgot to purchase one. When we met up in the parking lot, she walked up to him and gave him the pumpkin :)
Hugs!
They hold hands too :)
Once inside, the kids walked around some and filled their pumpkins with candy. Michael got quite a bit of stuff, including mini play-doh's and little spider things.

He was trying to sweeten up the nurse so he could get some extra stuff and it worked! She put her bucket down and Michael grabbed quite a bit of stuff out and shoved right into his mouth, wrapper and all!

After the kids walked around a bit, Amy took us to one of the back rooms where the EMS crew hang out when they are at the hospital. We let the kids run around while we stacked up on poptarts, nutrigrain bars and cookies )

This is an example of how hot it got at 11:00 am! Poor sweet Brooklynn was drenched in sweat and wanted to get her costume OFF!! And she did :) and Michael seemed to enjoy watching her do so!

Michael was watching Brooklynn run around in her pull ups and got excited!

Before we left, the kids had fun messing with the phone :)

He is so super smitten by her! We are excited to say that he will begin a new private preschool, Future Stars Academy, in 2 weeks, which is the same school Brooklynn is at now. She used to attend Pebbles but left a month or so ago for FSA. We took him to tour on Friday afternoon and he liked it, but loved that Brooklynn would be in his class and really enjoyed her taking the tour with us! These two kiddos are inseparable! It was an exciting morning and great start to Michael's Halloween!
