King of the Jungle

What a fun Halloween we had this year! Shae was at a fun age to enjoy his costume, pumpkins, and ghosts ("Boo!). All of the scary roaring he'd been doing the last couple of months led to the perfect Halloween costume made by Grandma Mary: a lion. He was the cutest and scariest lion I have ever seen. He loved wearing his costume and "scaring" us with his roar. He especially got excited to see himself in the mirror and would roar so intensely that his whole body shook. I didn't get that on video, but I did get some little roars while walking around the house. You'll also see him scaring Rocky who was locked in the office because he looked a little like he wanted to attack the lion in our house.


We started the festivities this year by visiting Grandma Kathy and Papa the day before Halloween. Cousin Blaise was also there dressed as a dragon. It was a fun little party! On Halloween we visited Grandpa Gary and Grandma Mary and then Grandma Lori, Grandpa Bob, Auntie Kimberly, and Uncle David. If I haven't said it before, Shae is so lucky to have so many wonderful grandparents that love him so much!

On Halloween night, we eagerly awaited the trick-or-treaters in our new neighborhood, but didn't get as many as I thought we would. I'm sure we'll get more next year as our street fills in a little more. I thought that Shae might get a little scared by some of the trick-or-treaters, but he instead got upset when they left. I think he thought they were coming over to play!
