Halloween

Okay so I apologize  I  am still getting the hang of this whole blog thing and really need to stay on top of this better. But here is the Halloween post. 

Since we no longer live on campus there are a few things about dorm life that I really do miss. Like having your friends close by if you ever get bored, or always having something to do. But I think the things I miss the most are the holiday events. Trick the halls being one of them. Where all four dorms work together decorating their  hallways and dressing up to put on a fun and safe Halloween experience. But lucky for me Him is in charge of the dorms and we still get to participate in the activities just from a different point of view. 

We found the cutest monkey costume for Little miss S and even though it was a tad bit too big, we just had to get it for her. Which worked out perfectly because our first foster placement left his banana costume from last year at our house. So Little miss S was such a stinking cute little monkey and I was her big banana!! We had so many complements on our costumes while we were at trick the halls on the Oakland City University campus. 

Now HIM was not apart of our group costume, even though some people thought he was a gorilla  When he was obviously a ghoul. But that is besides the point. If it was not for HIM having to be at the campus for trick the halls, then we may not have not have gone trick or treating. Little miss S is not quite old enough for all that candy, plus Halloween fell on a Wednesday this year. We don't like to cancel on our youth group, but as since it was for HIM's job we made an exception. Little miss S did really good at only picking one piece of candy from the bowls and she even got to enjoy some of it. While HIM and HER got to enjoy the rest (not that we needed any of it )!! Perks of being a parent of babies. 

We had a really great time experiencing what Halloween is like with little kids. Last year our foster placement was 14 so it was not quite the same as this year with a 17 month old girl. She was so excited and was hamming it up for everyone. Squealing and laughing at all the people in costumes. I was a little nervous that Little miss S would be scared of HIM's costume. But HIM laughed at the mask and made her think it was funny before HIM put it on and she was good. I was so relieved it would've made for a bad night if she had a bad reaction toward his costume. This whole learning life with a baby is a challenge, but a fun one that's for sure.
