Halloween Handout

According to Great Grandma Dorothy, back in her day they did not say "Trick or Treat," but rather "Halloween Handout." I have never heard that before, but it sounds funny. I just picture a little British kid getting it wrong. Anyway...Cole had a good 1st Halloween and did get some great Halloween Handouts.

On Friday, the High family stopped by, so Cole could hang with his lady friend, Lucy. We decided he would be festive, and dressed him in his skeleton costume. Sadly, Kristin said it was not okay to paint a baby's face, otherwise his costume would have looked much better.

Cole is getting pretty mobile and is pretty opinionated about picture time. It is hard to get a good one!

On Saturday, Cole sported the skeleton outfit one more time to GG Dorothy's house. We surprised her during trick-or-treat and hung out with her while she handed out candy. She is also known as "Candy Grandma."


Then we headed to the Stear's and put Cole in his lamb costume. I will probably have to apologize later in life to Cole for this one. Looks pretty goofy. Debbie borrowed this costume from the Holt's, their daughter Allie wore it when she was Cole's age (she is now 21)...Cole was stylin' in his vintage costume! After listening to Gregg rattle off a bunch of puns about his outfit, off we went. Our first stop was across the street to Cole's babysitter Suzy's house. She had a special snack size applesauce treat for Cole. Cole is in L O V E with this girl and seemed pretty dumbfounded to be at her house.

Then we went down the hill to the Holt's. They were pretty thrilled to see Cole in Allie's old costume. They also had a special pumpkin cookie treat for Cole. Such a spoiled boy! It was pretty cold, and trick-or-treating with a baby is pretty ridiculous, so we headed back to the Stear's for dinner. And that pumpkin cookie!

And on a non-Halloween related note we had to include this picture of Cole and Doug (what he calls Bella, his version of "Dog."). Cole is Bella's biggest fan and gets SO excited when he sees her. She is very good with him and allows him to pet hit her while chanting, "Doug-doug-doug-doug" and squealing. She is probably so patient with him because most of his mealtimes include 5 bites for Bella to every 1 bite Cole takes.
