A Crabby Halloween
I contemplated making Matteo a Halloween costume this year, but I had no real idea as to what I would do and the reality was, would it be worth the time and effort for the 20 minutes he would have it on? Probably not. So I decided if I could find an adorable costume at a discounted price I would go with that option. Lucky for me Chad’s parents were headed down to Vegas last month and Mama Ciavarro snagged me this ridiculously cute crab costume from Carters for 50% off. Perfection!
Luckily Matteo didn’t hate wearing his costume, which was good, because he was too cute for words wearing it.
He crawls like a crab so this outfit was kind of perfect. I tried to video tape him crawling in it but he stopped 2 seconds in and started making music with his butt. Not really memory making material.
The Halloween collection grows. I need to get some new cobwebs next year. Oh and maybe some tombstones!
We Trick-or-Treated for all of two seconds. We went to two houses in the neighbourhood (the only two neighbours I have ever talked to who were handing out candy) before my arms almost gave out carrying the 23lbs crab. Then we went to visit my Aunt and Uncle who live 5 minutes away before settling in for an evening of chocolate and fire works. Someone in our neighbourhood went to town in the fireworks department. It was like the Symphony of Fire. It woke Matteo up a few times but overall it wasn’t bad.
We had a great first Halloween! I wonder what Matteo will dress up as next year…
