Halloween Pics

Eli started the night with Nana coming over to help get him ready for Halloween. After her pep talk, he was ready to put on his bumblee outfit.

Here is Eli after his outfit was put on for the first time. For the 3 hours after we first put this outfit on, he never tried to take it off. I think he liked his first Halloween.

Eli poses next to his "great pumpkin." Linus was jealous.


Nana gives some final words of encouragement. She warned him, "watch for razor blades in your candy bars. Perhaps you should give them all to your father so that he can test taste them for you. Oh, and remember which houses hand out arrow heads and pencils instead of candy so that you can skip them next year." Wise words, very wise.

Our first stop was to trick or treat at Memaw's CVS. It turned out that Eli was more interested in the cute Tech than the candy. He got game, but....

instead of a phone number, Eli got a Peanut butter cup instead. Plenty of fish in the sea, son, plenty of fish in the sea.

Here is Eli working as Memaw's #1 Technician in the Pharmacy. Would you take advice from a bumblebee?

Next stop was a visit in New Pal to see Eli's cousins. Eli explained his heartbreak at CVS. Alyssa wisely reminds him that he is too young to date. Lainey told him, "Duck!"

Here is Eli with Pepaw. Pepaw's smile is mostly from the fact that he was home alone to hand out candy to the kids. "Here's one for the kids and here's one for me."


Here's Eli after hanging out with Pepaw...in a great mood and finally over his heartbreak.

Our last stop was to Mamaw's house. Mamaw was sad, she did not have one trick or treater alllll night. So Eli consoled her, letting her know that he showed up and he'll take all the candy.

All in all, Halloween was a fun night. Here's a picture of Eli counting all his candy that he is too young to eat in the first place. Maybe next year buddy.

We are back!!!!!

Good news! We have purchased a new digitial camera and will now be able to update our blog on a regular basis. Thanks to Eli's bumble outfit for Halloween, we were inspired to go ahead and buy a new digi now instead of waiting for Santa Claus to hook a brotha up.
