A Viking's Halloween

Many of you know of Gabe's obsession with How to Train Your Dragon. So...for Halloween this year, he dressed up as: 


Hiccup!

He was so excited when he tried his costume on a few days ago--he had to go brush up on his dragon-training skills.

Running

Rock-Finding

Squats

Stair-Climbing

 Pole-Swinging

Dandelion-Plucking



and, of course, lots and lots of Pondering




Whew! Once his training was out of the way, Gabe was ready to face Halloween head on.
We started the day with some necessary chair exercises,


filled our bellies with some hearty pancakes,

and brushed up on our viking vernacular while watching How to Train. (this is Gabe's favorite cuddle position lately. the baby doesn't think too fondly of it, though.)

Then, later this afternoon, it was off to Trunk-or-Treating!

He couldn't get enough of the balloons.



Phil took him around to do the treating, and it was hard. He had a few breakdowns along the way. Once after he was given a tootsie roll. Another, when a sucker was put in his bucket. 




Just had to throw this booger one in.  All the kids had boogers - it was pretty nippy outside.

 Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween as much as we did!
See ya later!
