On Saturday we had our ward Trunk-or-Treat party and so we dressed Connley up in his Halloween costume. This year we decided to make him an Oompa-Loompa. We figured it was the perfect costume for him because he is small like an Oompa-Loompa and shaped like an Oompa-Loompa, not to mention he walks like an Oompa-Loompa! So I gathered what clothing I could and had to sew a few things to put it all together. It was hilarious dying his hair green! Yes, it did come out. And we made orange face paint for him out of crisco, corn starch, and food coloring. We were surprised he took the makeup so well, it didn't seem to bother him at all. The whole evening everyone would just crack up when they saw him. There was no costume contest but everyone kept asking if he had won it.

Connley had fun going from car to car getting candy. His bag was almost the size of him so he had me hold it and he'd go grab his candy and then put it in his bag. He was confused on how it all worked at first, but then he caught on rather quickly!

We had a great time at the party. All I have to say is life is SO much FUN with a kid! I don't know what I'd do without my little Conn-Man!!

i love to take pictures. i especially love to take pictures of connley. he is so sweet, so cute, and so fun!
