While Mike stayed home with [sick] Ian, I (along with Grammy and Papaw) took Matthew to the Eastern Hills mall tonight for their “Mall-o-ween Extravaganza”. Basically, it’s glorified trick-or-treating in the mall along with a costume contest for those that were interested. The cost of admission was 2 cans of non-perishable food. 🙂
Matthew ran as far and as fast as his little legs could carry him. Well, as much as we’d let his legs carry him. I have no doubt JP Losman would have been proud of his performance. 🙂
A big THANK YOU(!!!!) to Grandma Samulski for the AWESOME(!!!!) football pants that she made. They’re so freakin’ cute and MAKE the costume. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
A few tears over a false start:
Making the rounds with Papaw:
(The hand-holding was a cruel punishment to this free spirit. No hand-to-hand contact could contain this boy.)
And he’s off….
Doh! More torture!
Ooooh! Look!!! Shiny things!!!
Assessing the scene…deciding which way to run…
Starting to breathe hard:
Ooooh! Look!!! A garbage can with caution tape!!!
Exhausted but happy after running a few laps. Thank God for strollers!
Me and the crazy boy before going home:
