Our halloween Horror

Okay, so that title sounds a lot horrible than it actually was. It was a pretty fun night, except when we were getting Ethan ready, and then when we were trying to get him to wind down for bed. Then we just dealt with some over the top tantrums. It's amazing how he can throw his body around! Anyways, Ethan decided that he wanted to be a football player. We tried to get him to be a dog, and some other animals, but he kept saying 'ball' and showing me a football costume. Because I didn't want to spent $30 on a costume he probably wouldn't wear again, we bought a seahawks jersey (I know they're not doing good this year, but they're still our team!) and it's like 2 sizes to big so Ethan can wear it for a long time.
There's a picture where Rory is trying to put some pads in Ethan's Jersey. We couldn't really find anything, that would work, and rory mentioned 'old bra's' while looking around in our underwear drawer. Well, he found some old nursing pads, and they were the perfect fit! The next picture is when Rory was trying to put the black lines on Ethans face. We had to hold him down to do it!

After Ethan was all ready, I tried to get a picture of him, but he just wasn't having it. He didn't like all the attention, and us telling him he looked awesome. I tried to tell him to say cheese, and instead, I got a picture of a little football player that's about to go down in an all out tantrum.

It wasn't until we were out of the house that Ethan started behaving better. We went to our local mall, where the kids go and show off costumes, and trick or treat to all the different stores. There's also games set up along the middle, so you can win prizes, and extra candy. After the mall, we met up with grandma and papa and went to a barn party, where we ate hot dogs, played more games, got more candy, and went for a hay ride. By time we got home, Ethan was wound up soooooo much. He was just on this sugar high, and didn't know how to handle it. He just kept throwing fits. We couldn't figure out what his deal was! Hopefully next year he'll be a little more into it, and understand what's going on!
