Happy Belated Halloween

This was Mikey's 1st Halloween (outside the womb) and he was the cutest penguin I've ever seen. I found this costume for him at a second-hand baby store in town and it was a screaming deal at $2.50. It was plenty warm for him too. We went to our ward's trunk or treat for about an hour and half. Kevin and I didn't go all out on costumes, but I made a pretty sweet mohawk, wore my only Halloween shirt (thanks, Mom!) and some fishnet stockings and tennis shoes. I guess I was kind of a punk rocker. Kevin fashioned some vampire fangs at work that actually fit over his real teeth. It looked kinda freaky, especially when he'd bare his fangs like in the picture above. No, he did not suck my blood that night! (Whew.)

Here we are at the trunk or treat. Mikey was having lots of fun watching all the people (especially the kids) go by in their costumes. I'm sure he was quite confused by the whole thing.

Mikey sat in my trunk by the candy bowl for a while, passing out treats. He didn't eat any candy, of course, but he liked to play with the wrappers because of the fun crinkling sound.



He stayed up about an hour and half past his bedtime. We found him like this on the floor shortly after we got home. Poor guy is just tuckered out. I love his little penguin tail!

I love that he was just crashed out on the floor! And I agree, cutest penguin ever! You looked pretty shnazzy yourself, and I was actually going to ask about Kevin's teeth. They look so real!
