Halloween-Porter's Costume Week

Porter had 4 costumes this year. We went to story time at the library everyday (it's only Tues-Fri) the week of Halloween and Porter dressed up. Why not?! It was so fun. Porter was a cowboy on Tuesday: had the cute horse shoe Old Navy shirt from DI, hat from DI, horse from his Grandma Taylor, and we borrowed boots from his friend Noah.
He loved those boots. Can you tell?
Porter the cowboy and his buddy Noah-the cutest little garden gnome ever! Hilariously cute!
Giddy up cowboy!
Tuesday night we had a Halloween party for Young Woman's and I recycled last year's costume and did the cat again. This year kitty just had more hair.
Mommy tried to match little military man on Wednesday.
Porter has two jobs at the library: hand the lady the library card and get the receipt print out. He loves it and is so cute doing his job.
Porter and two of his friends Reese (cutest little genie) and Noah. They love to play together!
The Tanner's invited us over one day to carve pumpkins. It was so fun! The kids played and Kristen and I talked and talked and carved. The first is Reese's, then Noah's, then Porter's. Please don't laugh; I did my best.
Each day they did a parade in the library and Porter loved it! He followed right along with all the kids (I expected to have to take him along to participate) and really enjoyed it. One day the story time lady told them to say "BOO" to everyone they passed. Porter really got into that. It was really a boo/yell/roar type thing he had going on.
Full costume. Stacey got it from her sis-in-law I think, so it was FREEEEEEE. Works for me.
Outside the library Porter started playing peek-a-boo all by himself! I didn't ask him to or anything. With the camera in hand I was one happy camper!

My little Tigger and me in matching ears (from DI).
Porter overjoyed to get his "roar chips" (aka: Cheetos).
We had to go to the hospital one day and got an apple in the waiting room and Porter loved it! Look at all the cute little bites! He kept saying (and signing), "Apple...yum!"
Porter the Puppy.
Again Porter playing peek-a-boo on his own accord. I LOVED it! Two days in a row he did it and made for great pictures! (Except I should edit them so you don't see the other side of the pole.)
My sister Michelle gave Chancho and Chia these light-up pumpkin shirts a year or two ago and they are so cute! The dogs were so calm and acted so submissive and apologetic when they had these on. It's like they saw it as punishment and very sorry for whatever they did.
These skeleton shirts are from last year and I love them. So cute! We did dress Chancho up as a pumpkin and Chia as a giraffe on Halloween but didn't get pictures of it.

I LOVE THE PORTER COSTUME PARADE!!!! He is so darn cute, and makes the cutest faces,and is naturally so good at posing and not even realizing it (really I guess you are great at capturing moments--just like Matt said of you once). So fun.

We loved all of his costumes, even the puppy one that somehow we didn't see! Too cute that he was playing peek-a-boo with you.
