The year of the great (costume) debate. The year of the dinosaur vs. the pumpkin.
Now right off the bat, you can't tell me that you don't laugh- out- loud when you see Robert's face expression (cuteness) while wearing the pumpkin! It was hilarious! So before moving forward I must say that the winner of most laughs produced was clearly the pumpkin costume. Photo evidence both above and below, however the verdict for overall winner we'll save for later! 😉
On Friday of Halloween weekend Robert and I went to Matthew Whaley's Halloween Parade to see Charlie and Tripp walk with their classes in costume. We got to see Aunt Julie, Ben, Mamie and Papa too. Since the great debate had settled on the dinosaur being Robert's actual trick or treating costume I decided to give the pumpkin a try at the parade. Robert was clearly THRILLED to be a pumpkin.
On Saturday night Rob and I got to attend our neighbor's Halloween Party! Robert's baby monitor reaches our neighbor's back deck, so we were able to enjoy a few hours with our neighbors eating good food and all dressing up in costume. Rob and I went as Squints and Wendy Peffercorn from the movie The Sandlot. We had a BLAST! We are super grateful for our cul-de-sac and really love our neighbors!
Sunday was Halloween! Rob and I took Robert to our neighborhood parade up at the clubhouse. It was super chill and ended up being just a parade around the inside of the tennis courts but we still had fun seeing friends and letting Robert swing in his dinosaur costume afterwards.

Fun on the playground after the parade. Robert's favorite activity is still swinging. He's still not quite sure about the slide.
That night we took Robert for his first time trick or treating! We went with our friends Alison and Shawn and their two daughters Olivia and Eloise. They live in our neighborhood a few streets over. I met Alison while out walking with Robert this summer.
Robert's first house trick or treating. Olivia was incredibly sweet to Robert and was always putting extra candy into his little bag.
The inspiration for Robert's costume came from his favorite book currently, "If I Were a Dinosaur". Rob and I chuckle because it's a very simple book but Robert loves it because each page has a different texture he can touch.
Some final pictures of the overall costume winner... the dinosaur! Robert loved being a dinosaur! He liked crawling in it, sitting in it, rolling in it, swinging in it and he wore it off and on the whole weekend! RAWR!
And wait... whose this cute little pumpkin?? 😀
