Blurry Halloween Pics

So Saki was supposed to be an old time sheriff with a leather vest and cowboy boots. When I tried to get him dressed to go trick-or-treating, he would only put on the boots and didn't want to wear the hat and vest. So I had to take another route.

I decided to dress him up as a little black belt ninja. Thanks Tawny for the idea... Anyway, he loved this costume and whenever anyone would comment on how cute it was, he would just say hi-yaw and do a little kick or punch or something. It was pretty funny.
Halloween weather was perfect and Regan took Saki to old town during the day so that he could get some candy. He absolutely loved it and even saw Winnie the pooh (who he loves). He got a ton of candy and kept stopping along the way to make sure he could eat whatever he could before I took it away. I was sad I didn't take my camera with me.
Later that night when his daddy had a little break from work, they worked on their kicks and punches some more. Saki ate a ton of candy and fell asleep on the floor.
Here is a cute picture of Saki with one cowboy boot on. I got these at DI for $1. He loves these boots and walks around in them all day long. I'm pretty sure that he is watching Toy Story because this is the only movie that he will actually sit still and watch for more than a couple of seconds.

So after Halloween I thought about throwing Saki's candy out because he got so much. Of course, I've been using it as a bribe here and there. A couple nights ago Saki woke up at 2:30 in the morning and kept saying "canny, canny". Usually if he wakes up I give him a drink of water and he goes right back to sleep, but not this night. He cried for almost an hour. I finally decided to let him get a piece of candy. Of course he picks out the worst thing. A red Now and Later. All I can think about is how he is going to get cavities and all of that dumb stuff. Anyway, I open it for him. Then he freaks out even more. He wanted to open it himself. So I wrap it back up and let him do it himself. It takes forever to eat the candy. Meanwhile I'm thinking about how long the sugar is sitting on his teeth causing them to decay. This is so dumb, but of course as a dental hygienist I am a little lame when it comes to this stuff. So after he eats it I brush his teeth. By then he is wide awake so I resort to another bad thing. I let him watch Toy Story on the couch until he fell asleep (which was about until it was over). Anyway, being this pregnant, and alone at night, I realize how I will pretty much do anything to calm my little one down. He is definitely getting into his independent stage, and I am getting more and more tired as the days go by. I want do die when these little tantrum things happen, but when I look back at them, I just laugh and think about how cute my little boy is and how much he is growing up. I love this little boy, even when he does have a messy face!

You had me laughing about the candy in the middle of the night! I have to say, I probably would have been paranoid about it, too! Don't you hate what candy does to kids? I am such a mean mom. I limit them so much to it that they are thrilled when they get just one! in fact, we only went to two housed for halloween and quincy was so excited, he didn't even know he missed anything! I guess he's going to figure it out sooner or later. But until then!

Saki is such a handsome little guy. I bet you just go nuts! He sounds like quite the character too. cute cute!

What a cutie!! It's funny how kids know how to get what they want, even when it is 2 in the morning. When are you due? Have you pick out any names yet?

I would have been too tired to be paranoid...but it certainly makes for a good laugh. I can relate to having an independent, strong-willed boy that I'm sure is super magnified by his toddler mood-swings. But, they are just so darn cute you can't help but love them. Hang in there.
