My mom had a big business conference in Connecticut just before Halloween, so my dad went with her and then they came down this way to hang out with us for Halloween. Here's sassy little Wes with his grandpa at the mall. (Obviously the only reason I go to the mall anymore is to take Wes on the train)
The weekend before Halloween, we headed out to Winchester to stay with my aunt (my dad's sister). It was great, except for the freak snow storm that hit. Needless to say, I was freezing most of the weekend, even when indoors. But we headed to the local Walmart and got some snow gear for Wes. And don't make fun of the camo beanie. It was the only soft one I could find with a strap to keep it on (otherwise Wes usually rips them off). And camo was quite popular in Winchester. I've never seen so many coveralls at a Walmart before...
Here we are building a snowman.
Wes wasn't a huge fan, until he learned he could eat the snow. Then he had a great time.
For Halloween, Wes, who is obsessed with the Cars movies, was a race car driver. And although I'm not crafty enough to make my kid's costume, I did attempt to make his little car look like Lightning McQueen. Of course after all of the time I spent on it, Wes didn't really care because this kid loves to be free to run. Oh well. Here's my little race car driver...
I made him sit in the car for this picture. It was his favorite thing. I know he looks like he hates it, but that's just his best road rage face.
It was fun to have my parents here for a while. Especially since we did not go home for Thanksgiving (yes, I did the whole meal on my own, thank you) and won't be going home for Christmas either. Brett pretty much used up all of his time off for the radiation trip to AZ. We're sad that we can't head home, but I guess it's a good time to start some traditions of our own.
