.Happy Halloween.

Thank goodness Silas' Halloween was a success because it started off not looking to good. First off, making a decision as to what an 18 month old should be for Halloween leaves you with some pretty cheesy costume choices. At first he was going to be Yoda from Star Wars but then it would have been difficult to include the whole family so that is when I came up with the idea that Silas would be the Cat in the Hat and Quinn and I would be Thing 1 and Thing 2!!!! Silas loves the cartoon "The Cat in the Hat Knows A lot About That" so I knew that this would be a success.

Unfortunately, I waited till the last minute to purchase the costume when it arrived they sent me the wrong size and consequently it was to late to return it. So I was then stuck with a dilemma, do I just let Silas swim in his costume or do I attempt to alter it!?! So I tried my hand at altering his costume. Now, don't get it twisted. I can sew just fine but when you don't have a machine or the patience to hand stitch a whole costume you are stuck in quite a pickle. I purchased the iron on adhesive tape and proceeded to "cut and paste" away. Low and behold I did a fantastic job and took a costume that was to fit a 6 year old and altered it perfectly to fit Silas. I was very proud of myself on that one.

We took Silas to go see my parents at their church in Currituck and Silas got to see his cousin, Henry, who was dressed up as a pumpkin for his very first Halloween.

After that, Silas got to go see his favorite of all.....DAISY! Haha, allow me to explain. Silas' first word was Daisy and that is because Quinn's parents have a dog named Daisy who he just adores and now every dog he sees in person or on TV is Daisy! At Quinn's parents Silas got some cool and yummy treats. One of which were these really cool cookies that you color on with the included markers in the package. When Silas was caught sucking on the markers, of course we freaked out only to realize that they were flavored markers. So needless to say, he had a blast with that.

Occasionally when we watch "The Cat in the Hat Knows A lot About That" on a daily basis, Silas will go grab his hat from his costume and wear it.
