Matthew was a monkey this year. A few weeks ago we asked Brenna what she wanted to be for Halloween and she said she wanted to be Dora the Explorer. We weren't too excited to figure out that costume so we suggested she be princess Dora instead. She was excited about that, but wanted Matthew to be Boots the monkey (Dora's sidekick). So we found a monkey costume for him. He was adorable! He got a sucker while we were out trick or treating and he got it all over, but he loved every bit of it.
Brandon was a clown this year. Matthew loved the squeaker on his nose and the bright colors. Mandee was a witch. Matthew kept saying "He he he" whenever he saw my witch hat.
We had fun carving our pumpkins we grew in our garden. They never turned orange so we carved them green. They turned out pretty cute.
Matthew also had a birthday since we last posted. He turned one! We had a fun time celebrating with him. We decorated the kitchen with an "Old McDonald had a Farm" theme. Mandee made a fun cake that everyone had fun eating. Then we played a cute Farm Sound Bingo with everyone. Happy Birthday Matthew!
