I've heard of Christmas in July, but Halloween in January?? What?

So, I have to admit...these pictures of the babies together were just recently taken...in JANUARY!!

Yes, that's right, I said January!! The reason for the celebration of all things candy three months after the actual holiday?  Well, as I mentioned here, Halloween was spent at the mall...shopping...for Christmas outfits.  I guess that's just what you do on Halloween, right?

Maybe not, but that's what we (myself, my sister, my mom, my son, and my niece) did.
My mom decided to come up to Appleton and go to lunch with her daughters and grand kids and then shop for Christmas outfits that she so graciously offered to buy for them.  I'm pretty sure if anything involves shopping, my mom is there...I wonder where I get it from??  :)

So, I decided that since Dallas's costume wasn't too uncomfortable, he should wear it all day...why not?!!?  Get more use out of it that way anyhow, right??  So I dressed him up in his cute little, glow in the dark, skeleton costume and trekked over to the mall to meet my awaiting family members, yes, I'm always late, they were waiting for me, it's no surprise to them anymore, trust me!  (A trait of mine that my husband hates, that I get from my dad, oh well.  I just say, life happens.)

So, I also mentioned in the previous post that I couldn't find the picture I took of the babies at the mall, well here is that one, yes it's worse quality than my regular pictures, I was using my old phone, which wasn't made for great picture taking:

Ella dressed in her Happy Halloween onesie and trying to reach Dallas's toys, of course!!  And Dallas hanging out as a-not-so-scary-skeleton (yes I borrowed that title from Mickey Mouse, for those of you who know your Disney titles!)

And here are the ones that I just took, two days ago:


Dallas fascinated with the butterfly's wings

Hey, Ella, if I flap these really fast for you, you might be able to fly!

That's it, quit touching my wings!

What?  I'm SO over this photo shoot, Auntie!

Is it just me or does Dallas look pretty devilish in this picture??

I think she's had just about enough...

My little skeleton, so sweet!

The original plan was for Dallas and I to go to my sister's house after the mall to go trick-or-treating, but Dallas's nap schedule didn't allow and after all that shopping you can't blame the little man, he is his father's son after all and a few hours of shopping makes most men crazy, wouldn't you agree?  So, I put this off until this week and finally got to cross it off my list, wahoo!

I hope you like pictures, because here is month #4 in pictures!

(As much as you love them, my witty comments sadly end with the title of this post because I'm really trying to get the blog updated as I have lots of other projects on the list with the holidays here!)

September 24th: another day at Grandma's house, time for some cute family photos!


September 25th: a trip to the pumpkin farm (early in the year because Michael would be gone traveling for work for the next couple weeks)

September 29th: Dallas gets to try on his Halloween costume for the first time (again, early, but this way Michael could see him in it before anyone else)
(The dogs didn't really want to cooperate)

October 5th: Grandpa (or Poppy as we sometimes call him) visits Appleton during the day and has time for lunch with Dallas!


October 9th: Little Jonny has a football game, and mama has another photo op!

October 14th: 5 months old!!!


October 19th: The first time trying out a sippy cup...we didn't start using them regularly yet, just wanted to give it a go, Dallas did pretty well.

October 20th: A little pajama play time with Cousin Ella while her mama and daddy buy some new cars!
 

October 31st: "Dallas's First Halloween", spent shopping at the mall with Grandma, Auntie Katie, and Cousin Ella? That's an interesting time for shopping!!
(Sorry no pictures for this event!)
November 2nd: Dallas's first time trying cereal, yummy!!

November 6th: LSU gear for the first time, mama is surprised that daddy let Dallas wear this, but when the kid looks cute in anything, how can you say no??? (Thanks Auntie Erin in Louisiana for the great outfit!)
Notice the game on TV that he is straining his neck to watch!!
 (Had to include this one, who doesn't love a little baby skin??)
Geaux Tigers!!!
