Jackson's First Halloween






























What a fun Halloween weekend we are having! It started Friday with a yummy breakfast at Flying Biscuit with grandma and grandpa. Following breakfast we stopped by Target for a few things, one of them being a pumpkin carving kit. We then went back to grandma and grandpas to carve our pumpkins (we had three total), roast pumpkin seeds, and bake Halloween cupcakes. It was a chilly and gloomy day, perfect for these kind of indoor activities. Our pumpkins turned out really cute, courtesy of grandpa because he did all of the carving. Jackson sure did love sitting in his carseat by grandpa and watching him work. Grandma cleaned out the pumpkin guts and roasted the seeds, and I baked the cupcakes. Later that night after Toby got out of work he came over and we talked grandpa into carving the last pumpkin (the first two became quite time consuming and somewhat frustrating). We carved the word Gators into the last pumpkin and it turned out so well! Perfect for the upcoming gameday. Saturday, Halloween, turned out to be a warm but gloomy day as well. We started out the morning with a Fall photo shoot on grandma and grandpas back deck. It was the perfect setting with all the trees and fallen leaves that they have out there. We took a ton of pictures of Jackson in one of his cute Halloween outfits and also in his giraffe costume. After all those pictures he was pretty worn out. Later that afternoon we headed over to Erin and Todds to watch the Florida-Georgia football game. We took Jack over in his giraffe costume. Erin and Todd's little boy, Cameron, had the cutest monkey costume. It was very difficult to get a picture of Jackson and Cameron together because Cameron, being 9 months, is always on the move! We ate barbeque sandwiches with cupckes for dessert. The Gators had an incredible win over the Bulldogs!! After all that Halloween fun, today is turning out to be a lazy day. The gloomy and cold weather (55 degrees) isnt helping! Now that Halloween is over time to prepare for Thanksgiving fun in Gainesville, Florida! I cant believe its already November. Only 30 days of maternity leave are left :(
