Albert King






Okay so our original intention was for Elias to be Albert Einstein but as you can see he looks more like a cross between Einstein and Don King, hence Albert King. We had a great day which started out with a lovely play session with Eli's friend and OT Brooke. Next we ventured to Fred Meyer to complete last segment of our costume design phase which really equalled to a glue gun purchase and a fancy fleece hat. When it came time to get dressed Elias was more than compliant and actually seemed to enjoy having makeup put on his face. Finally we were finished and after a few photos we headed out for our 3rd annual trick or treat night. Elias seemed to enjoy the costumes especially Maggie's ladybug outfit (as you can see in the photo's). Aunty Amy and I had a nice time sipping coffee and shopping while strangers continually complimented us on our beautiful children. Then off to the UW for more festivities...everyone thought Eli looked darling and he did. Dave weathered the storm of trick or treaters and gave out 6 bags of candy before it was all said and done. By the time we reached Aunty Yaya's house Elias was beat but happy with the new books she gave him as a Halloween present!! He loves both of them but really seems just thrilled with That's not my monster.... We had a glass of vino and visited for awhile which was lovely. Elias fell asleep on my lap and that was the end of it. We headed home, scrubbed off the makeup, changed our clothes and kissed him goodnight. What an amazing little Einstein he was.... I can't wait to see what he will be next year. Happy Halloween everyone!!!
