| Message: This is Garrison's first Halloween, and following tradition, he wore the same costume that Emmett wore his first Halloween, which was also dad's Halloween suit. Surprisingly, the suit itself has held up quite well over the years.   We should pause here and tell you that Garrison doesn't like it when you take off his shirt and it get's stuck around his head. He also, apparently, doesn't like costumes that are a little big and sneak up around his face and make him feel like he's "stuck". He only wore the costume long enough to get a few pictures, and then he began to wriggle his way out of it.  Following last year's tradition, we had chilly cooking on the stove all day with cornbread in the oven, a campfire for smores in the back yard, and both sets of grandparents over for dinner. As soon as dinner was over, Emmett jumped up from the table and declared: "Alright I'm done eating, let's get our costume on and go trick or treating!" For the past several months Emmett said he wanted to be Bolt from the Disney Movie Bolt.  Omi and Mom made a few trips to the fabric store in a mission to make Emmett his own Bolt costume. To Emmett's delight, Omi made him a perfect Bolt costume complete with lightning Bolt, Bolt Name Tag, and even a Bolt leash. Emmett would walk down the street and beg for someone to hold onto his leash and "take him for a walk."  These pictures didn't turn out so well in the dark, as the camera focused on the reflectiveness of our safety vests, and didn't allow the rest of the picture to be illuminated. However, if you look closely, you can see Grandpa holding onto Emmett's (Bolt's) leash taking him for "a walk."  Almost every evening we go for a walk around the block for exercise in the evenings, and this one house in particular put up a lot of Halloween decorations. Emmett likes to call this house "the spooky house". On Halloween the owner of the house had theatrical smoke/fog that covered his walkway leading to his front door and Emmett really enjoyed visiting this house.  Once we got back home from trick or treating Garrison was chillin with his Uncle Thomas (dressed as Teenage-Ninja-Turtle) with his costume at a safe distance away (not actually on him).  For a few final pictures, we wrestled him back into his suit....  which lasted for about 2 minutes.   We even got Emmett to join in the picture. Here you can see him holding onto his own leash.  Happy Halloween! |
