Happy Halloween!

This year I did not drop the ball on the Halloween costume like I did last year. Given, last year I had a 3 week old, and that was a pretty good excuse for not following through on the plan to sew up a burrito costume, but still. This year, I planned ahead. I picked up a costume at Costco back 2 months ago when they started putting out the Halloween gear. I was super excited about said costume, where as Nate did not think it was quite up to snuff.

That all changed when Kendall got dressed today...

That is a cute cow. And she is mooing in this picture - thus no smile.

After getting all dressed up and mooing for mom and dad, we decided to do some stealth trick-or-treating and surprise the grandparents.

First up were Grandma and Grandpa Greaney. They were super surprised to see us, and Kendall's cow costume went over swimmingly. She moo'd on command some more, pet the doggie, and then we hit up our next stop on the trick-or-treat surprise tour.

Next we hit Grandma and Grandpa Gorman's - and we surprised them too! We were the first trick-or-treaters at both stops (kids get started late these days!) - and Grandpa Gorman thoroughly shocked that it was us and not a group of kids. After a lot of pictures and some milk for the cow, we were back on the road. All those surprises tired this little cow out.

Luckily, by the time we got home, the cow had her second wind, and graced us with a video in which you can hear the mooing, and really take in this costume. We especially liked the padding in the behind - she should really wear this everyday with all the falling down Kendall does these days!

Happy Halloween!!
