Happy Halloween

For Halloween this year I wanted Cooper to be something that he could carry an empty milk jug around. I know this may seem random. But for a couple months now he has been really into milk jugs, carry them around, pretending to pour them into things, giving people 'pretend drinks'. So I thought would be funny as part of a costume. I found the idea for a hand-made chocolate chip cookie costume online, so I figured I would take a stab at it. I didn't have a pattern or anything, I just 'winged' it. One of my friends helped me with the actual sewing part. I would have to say I think it came out pretty cute. And we even got him to keep it on longer than five minutes. No, but seriously it was a fun night. We decided to just stay home and let Cooper help pass out candy to the Trick or Treaters. Which he loved!!! He just started saying HI, so he said Hi to all of the kids that came to the door. One kid thought Cooper was a turtle, which we thought was pretty hilarious. Enjoy the pics.







Got Milk?





I made a little label for the milk jug. It said "Got milk, and cookies please."



He loved carrying around that pumpkin. We put a couple random pieces of candy in there. Though he didn't really understand candy is to eat (poor kid), he just liked looking at them and taking them in and out of the pumpkin.



Waiting for more kids to come.









Having some fruit snacks with Da Da.



Daddy's helper.







Talking on the phone. Saying "HI".



Once the night was winding down. After Cooper wore his outfit for over an hour. Which I thought was really good. Joe decided to be funny and wear Cooper's costume, but on his head. Ha.. always goofing off. Cooper found it entertaining.







We Skyped with Grandma and Grandpa friend. And Cooper acting like he was typing, which was really cute in person.



Here are some closeups of the cookie costume. Super easy. And pretty inexpensive. Basically two pillows with ties.





This was a couple days before Halloween, I thought we better practice wearing the costume to prevent a possible meltdown on Halloween.







These are just a few random photos. Cooper is opening a present from Grandma Boeckman.
