Halloween Fun

We had a picture perfect Halloween this year. Here are some favorite shots of the festivities. You can see all of them at http://tootlefam.shutterfly.com.

Pumpkin carving after church. At first Otis wasn't sure about the "guts"...

...but soon he became very interested in stirring the pumpkin guts and removing and replacing the lid. He loves rhyme right now, so we had a lot of fun saying "Scoop the goop!"

In fact, that's probably how we got this smile out of Otis a little later.

After pumpkin carving, we headed to Aunt Carie's house for Halloween fun with the cousins. Otis played with cousins, looked cute, and did not take a nap.

Later that day (still without nap), Otis kept his skeleton hat on for exactly long enough to snap this picture.

Jack O'Lanterns are funny!

Pre-trick-or-treat silliness over chili and drinks at the Krauter house.

Otis can carry his pail and walk like a big boy. He's basically grown up.
