Halloween Themed Playdate

Today we went to Audubon Park where our playgroup was meeting for a Halloween themed playdate. It was lots of fun, Nancy (our assistant organizer) made a pinata which all the kids liked taking turns hitting though it was us parents who actually broke it. This time we put toys in the pinata instead of candy since there were plenty of sweets on the table which everyone brought. Chance got a car from the pinata and that was all he cared about. He also had a good time eating a big sugary orange cookie, he doesn't get sugar all that often especially not in large quantities but this time he finished the whole cookie. These first two pictures are the before and after. He has orange all over his face and hands. It really was cute. Lots of the little boys and girls were dressed in costume but since Chance is not loving the costume thing I decided not to ask him to wear it until tomorrow night when we go trick-or-treating. It seems like Chance is really trying to talk and today he said "bad", it is strange after so long of not really saying any words he has racked up three new ones in two days. It is funny at this age with the pinata they are all afraid to hit it because all of us Moms are constantly telling them not to hit and now we give them a stick and tell them to hit the nice pumpkin. They are not sure what to do, Chance did a good job hitting it though after he decided that it was in fact ok to hit it.
