Let the Wild Rumpus Start!


The wild rumpus all started with
our ward Trunk-or-Treat a week or so ago.
It was the first of many occasions where little G would be wearing his Max costume. I knew I wanted to throw him a "Where the Wild Things Are" birthday party and that it would take place on Halloween, so it was only fitting that he would just have to be the King of the Wild Things (which, trust me, is not a stretch for this little guy).

(really in 85 degree weather?!)
How cute is that wiley little tail?

I couldn't find a good Max costume so I bought a fleece suit and added the claws, whiskers, buttons, ears and the wolf tail. It turned out pretty well (minus the fleece was sweltering! Poor guy!)
Here he is showing off his ears and claws


Practicing some of his growls and roars!

My friend Emily and her little girl Brooklyn flew in from Idaho to spend part of the week with us
which was a lot of fun.
One night we went to a little pumpkin patch near our house.
We dressed in our Fall best pretending that it was crisp outside and that we don't live in the middle of the city

Little does he know she is behind him

Of course G just wanted to eat all the bark and hay on the ground all night long!
I think we left with half of it in his diaper

Looks like G has some of my Idaho roots in him after all!
He was sooo excited to pretend to drive the tractor
