On Saturday we attended the NICU Halloween Reunion party. This is held at the train park in Scottsdale and kids dress up in costumes and they have food and activities for all to enjoy. Ok, not exactly all since Max was too young to enjoy any of the fun. The park area was packed with families who have gone through what we went through with their baby, or babies since there were many with multiples in attendance. By multiples I don't just mean twins. I saw one woman with a set of four...which I guess would mean quadruplets. Wow, to think of having more than one at a time. That's just exhausting thinking about it. Anyway, once we got registered we stood in line for your typical picnic food, did some people watching and talked to one of our favorite nurses. It was then time to leave since it was pretty warm outside in the sun. I did not take any photos since Max slept through the whole event as he is still pretty young for this kind of thing and I really don't need another photo of him sleeping in his car seat. I also did not put him in his costume as I am saving that for Halloween, instead I put him in his Halloween onesie. Three weeks ago this onesie was huge on him and now it fits perfect. It's crazy how much he can grow in three weeks.
On Sunday it was pumpkin carving day. Andy and I (ok, mainly Andy) carved the two pumpkins we purchased earlier in the month at the "pumpkin patch."
In ten years of us being together this is the first time we carved pumpkins. We did it for the big man even though he had no idea what was going on as this was how he spent pumpkin carving time.
Do you see a theme here? Yes, I do understand that Maxim is still too young to participate in anything, but I still want to do these things. It's the thought that counts.
Max with his pumpkins. This was the best photo out of about twenty.
I ended the weekend by finishing up his Halloween costume that he will wear to my company Halloween trick or treating event. Of course he is too young to trick or treat, but I just want to get him all dressed up for my favorite holiday and show him off. Andy said he is glad I am dressing Maxim up now for Halloween and not him anymore. I made his Halloween costume and I think it turned out AMAZING and I can't wait to post pictures later this week.
