A Mouse in the House

Luckily for us, this mouse is super cute, very ticklish and has a contagious laugh!! These days Owen is quite OBSESSED with Mickey Mouse. The latest version of Mickey and his friends on tv is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. All of the characters are the same, but the show is more of a toddler learning skills show than just a cartoon like we had growing up. And like most parents of small children, we (yes, that INCLUDES Nick) can sing along to all of the songs of the show. :)

So naturally when we asked Owen what he wanted to be for Halloween, given that at 2 years old, I'm not quite sure if he knew what Halloween was, he instantly yells "MICKEY MOUSE!!!" So here he is, costume and all, at the 'Trunk-or-Treat' put on at our church. Instead of going door to door to 'trick-or-treat,' everyone who has kids and wants to participate decorates the open trunk of your car. Then the kids are taken around to 'trick-or-treat' at the trunks, hence the 'Trunk-or-Treat!" It is a fun, safe and much quicker way of taking your kids out on Halloween!!
