Gus wanted to be a “steam engine” for Halloween so Joe and I got crafty and turned a box into a train. Not surprisingly, we started this at 9:30 on a Thursday night. We didn’t have blue paint, so we made a green Percy. Surprisingly, Gus wanted to wear it!
Here are a few photos of us in costume. There are lots more from other friends (including the whole family as train engineers), but these will have to do until those can be collected. Here is also a cute (and short) video of Gus in partial costume (jammies and the box).
Gus and I had several parties to attend throughout the day and were well worn out by the time it started to get dark so I decided to skip the trick-or-treating for another year. Gus really doesn’t know what candy is anyways, nor would he say boo to a stranger in a costume. Besides, Joe had to go to a conference and we can’t have his first trick-or-treat without dad. We handed out the candy with some neighbors– someone has to stay home to do it!
Here are a couple of recent random photos of Gus playing with his food and play dough. In addition to asking about time all the time, he is also asking me what letter words start with, “Mama, what does mechanic start with?” I help him sound it out and he names other words he knows that start with the letter– so smart!
