Picking out a Halloween costume this year has been quite an adventure! We started out borrowing this absolutely adorable skunk costume from a friend here in Jacksonville. Unfortunately, the costume didn't quite fit (at 18 months, my son wears 3-T clothes!). So I put Chris in charge of finding the perfect costume and we began a nearly endless search for a costume that Chris liked.
After searching at 3 different party stores, 2 halloween stores, Target, Old Navy, The Children's Place... (you get the idea), Chris found "the one." Meet Captain Ethan, the Mighty Toddler Pirate King.
As you can imagine, Ethan loves to yell "BOOM! BOOM!" as he uses his sword to hit everything in sight. Fortunately for Inca and my furniture, the sword is made of foam!
He and Chris had a lot of fun picking out the perfect pumpkin to make a Jack-o-Lantern too! I think Ethan checked out nearly every pumpkin on the field and gave several the sword test to see how durable they were. Finally, he found one that met his expectations and strict standards. 
We went to a Trunk-or-Treat activity for our church this past weekend also. Ethan had a lot of fun getting candy. When Chris would prompt him to say "trick-or-treat", Ethan decided he'd rather get right down to business, and just ask "Treat?" When the candy was put into his Thomas bucket, he'd immediately dig in it crying for "candy, candy, CANDY!" I found it amazing, since he's never really had candy. In fact, I don't think Chris or I had ever even said "candy" to him before the Halloween activities this week. Amazing how quickly he can learn about candy, but how he still doesn't understand that "don't climb into the kitchen sink" means he should keep his feet on the floor! 
So, I know it's been about 2 months since the last post, and it's honestly because I think we've just been keeping so busy with play dates, library story times, and going home to visit my family and see my brother come home from his mission! I did take lots of great pictures though, and I'll post them all soon!

Ethan is just so stinking cute. I totally love the costume and wanted my girls to be pirates this year but they insisted on princess'. I miss you guys so much. I miss you and miss Ethan.
I love your comment on the Twilight series...why are we so obsessed? Thinking of you always,
The Nadigs!
