Pumpkin carving, costumes, candy, games, cookies and animals! All things that made our weekend last week. With Gigi in town, we did some Halloween activities to include taking Nico to Boo at the Zoo at the Fort Worth Zoo. The little man was all dressed up in his Gnome costume and I have to say that he got more smiles and cute comments than I expected. A mother's hearts certainly swells when hearing how wonderfully adorable her child is! Nico had a blast see all the animals just like on a regular zoo trip, but the Boo at the Zoo area had trick or treating, games to play, shows and face/body painting.
The three of us worked hard making our Halloween sugar cookies! Nico loved trying to decorate and of course eat the icing for the cookies. We made lack-o-lanterns, bats, black cats and ghosts to eat.
And then of course there was pumpkin carving. Last year Nico was completely disgusted, would not touch the innards of the pumpkin, and Daddy chased him around the house with handfuls of seeds. However this year he got a little more brave. Nico reached in the pumpkin pulled some slime and seeds out....and then threw up all over the table! At least he tried! Nico did help as much as could with the pumpkin carving and at end he was very proud of what we had accomplished.
