Halloween Fun

Our church does not do a substitution on the night of Halloween, they have something called the trunk-or-treat on the Sunday before.  So on Halloween we decided to dress Joel up and show him off to a few neighbors; there is nothing cuter then a baby who is dressed up as some animal!  Thanks to Aunt Bev's good eyes at her consignment sales, we were able to have a cute alligator costume that fit him perfect!  Here is Joel as an alligator and Todd and I as a mommy and a daddy!  I don't think Joel knew that his outfit was any different then his regular clothes!



As some of you know Chipotle gives out free burritos if you dress up as a burrito on Halloween.  I was trying to surprise Todd by taking him to the Chipotle with some aluminum foil and then getting our free burritos!  Well much to our dismay there were time limits on when you could go to get one free.  At the one we went to it was from 6-8 and we got there at 5:20ish.  I guess it has become more popular in the last few years.  So we decided we would go to Trader Joe's since it was close by and then go back for our free burrito.  Well when we came back, around 6ish there was a gigantic line that stretched outside the restaurant, down the sidewalk, past a few shops that were next to the Chipotle! Crazy, so needless to say we decided that it would be best to not wait in that HUGE line with a 7 month old baby!  Oh well, maybe next year!  :-D
