Mason's costume

So I was so excited to make Mason's Halloween costume this year.  Last year he was only 3 months old and so little that I just bought him a costume but this year I was ready to bust out the sewing machine and make him something special.  If any of you know my kid you know that his comfort item is a little sock (read about it here) so what better costume that a sock monkey costume. 

I think it turned out pretty well since I haven't really sewed since Jr. High Home-Ec class!  I even learned something working on this project, don't try to sew through sticky velcro, but hey we made it work. 

Mason had so much fun at his toddler group playing with his friends he crashed on the way home. 

Mason is at such a fun age right now.  I am excited to see what he thinks of trick or treating.  We also took him to the pumpkin patch again when Grandma and Papa were visiting.  Here are some of our favorites from that trip.

We took him to the same pumpkin patch last year but he was all swaddled up in those pictures.

This time he enjoyed walking on his own and checking everything out.

But daddy's shoulders are always a safe place to rest when he gets too tired.


Happy Halloween~2011
