Here are some photos of Mac's official Halloween costume! He's a Mac Truck! I think it turned out pretty well, but apparently he wasn't a fan. He was actually pretty freaked out the entire night with all the kids coming and going, the crazy costumes, the dogs barking their faces off and the massive sugar crash after helping himself to the candy bowl. I can't really say I blame him...Halloween must be weird and terrifying for toddlers. We didn't even leave the house because it was raining so hard and I'm pretty sure the cardboard costume wouldn't hold up in a downpour (and I need it to because we are definitely going to have to retake some photos of him in it to get a smiley one). Also, did you notice he got a haircut?! (full post with eight million photos coming soon) He no longer looks like a baby. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABY?
As you read this, Mac and I are on our way to the beach! It's the opening weekend of duck season, so while Ryan's out slaughtering birds, Mac and I are heading down to sunny Florida to visit one of my good friends and her daughter. We are SO excited about the trip. I've got a giant carry-on bag stocked plum full of candy, toys and activities to keep Mac entertained on the flight. I'm SO nervous. Please send positive solo-parent-toddler-travel vibes my way. 
I took over 1,600 photos (almost all of Mac) in the month of October. That's normal, right? It's going to take me five years to get through them all.
My freezer is stocked full of mini Kit-Kat bars. Like 2 whole giant bags of them just waiting for me. Santa really better come through on that lipo. 
I absolutely love Mac's costume! So cute and creative! Have a great time in Florida!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, his costume!! It's too much. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI am sending all the positive solo parent traveling with baby mojo I have. I know that feeling all too well. But, I just know Mac will be awesome.
Have a blast at the beach!
Have such a fun trip!!! I LOVE his haircut and his costumer....he looks like a BOY!!! LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteLipo...I'll take it. I can't control myself with all of this sugar around me! And it's only the beginning of the holiday season! Yikes!!
I hope Santa brings you another baby. :) EEk!
His costume is amazing! I can't believe you made that?! Have a great beach trip!

ReplyDeleteI noticed the haircut- he's a little boy now! Aww, no more baby!! Great job with the costume, btw! I'm a huge fan of homemade costumes and this is GOOD. :)
ReplyDeleteI really can't get over how awesome his costume is - you do such a great job!
ReplyDeleteHe looks so cute with his haircut! I am loving it. Good luck on the flight. Busy boys and flights don't mix that well, but I'm sure he is charming all his aisle mates. Have fun in FL. His costume is the best.

ReplyDeleteCan't get over the cuteness of that Mac truck! So precious!! Hope your trip is easy! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat costume! Just as awesome as last year's Mac & Cheese. I'm with you on the lipo & baby for Christmas ;)
ReplyDeleteThat costume is awesome - I love the lights on the truck! Pretty good thinking mama! I like your Christmas wish list...I do believe I am asking for all the same things :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the costume, it is so cute!!!!!! And I love the pics even though he's sad, he still looks great. Hope you enjoy your beach weekend!
ReplyDelete*Only* 1600 pics? Oh, c'mon Sara. You can do better than that! ;-) So...
ReplyDelete1. I'm jealous you're headed to FL. Have fun but yes - I hate you. :-)
2. That costume!!! I die.

Have a fun and safe trip!
those were great! love the costume and your little guy is adorable. I love the picture one too. I know that feeling all too well!
ReplyDeleteMac's costume is ADORABLE! You guys have the most creative ideas for him!!! Good luck on the plane ride...you are so much braver than I am...I don't even think I could try it by myself! :)
ReplyDeleteLove his costume!!! He looks like such a big boy with that haircut :(. I like your Xmas list... Santa better be good to you, you deserve it! Have fun in FL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nifty costume, you got a smirk or two!
ReplyDeletebahaha about the lipo, sign me up for that Santa plan.
Awesome costume, very creative! Loving his new haircut, cant wait to read about it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the costume! That is super creative and kudos on the execution of it! I think my favorite part is the "How's my driving?" sign on the back! I laughed when I saw that. I agree with your thoughts on toddlers and their emotions on Halloween. I've always thought they are probably creeped out by all of the aspects of Halloween. Enjoy the beach!

Love his costume, it reminds me of Truman's Thomas the Train costume last year. Labor of love, I tell you--good work, mama.
ReplyDeleteSaw on IG you did, indeed, survive the flight and are enjoying the beach. Trying not to hate you too much;)
Love the Christmas list. Hope you get it all...or at least the last one.
Love, love, love his costume! How long did it take you to make that?! It's great!
ReplyDeleteI will just say it again, because, ya know. Stop torturing my nephew. He's going to ask to come live with me because I'm going to buy him a pony and probably a puppy and here he'd get to wear Burberry every single day, so, really, I mean, it's the right choice.
ReplyDeleteAnd, now I want a Kit Kat. So, thanks for that.
COME SEE ME I MISS YOU OH MY GOD
That costume is amazing! Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Look at that little half-smile through the tears :) A-DORABLE. He's seriously a cutie!
ReplyDeletethe is my first time on your blog and i had to comment on how precious your son is.
ReplyDeletesuch a great costume idea!
:)
Love his little costume! I think dressing up your kids is probably one of the biggest parent perks! Hope the beach was awesome! :) xoxo - Natalie
ReplyDeleteI cannot even handle that costume! It is easily one of the best ones I've seen! Good luck traveling!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad little face, but still the cutest little truck driver around :)

That candy crush button could be a pivotal change in my life. I HATE when I see a better move after I just made one, or move the wrong thing on accident. Life is so tough haha
ReplyDeleteLove Mac's Costume! You are so creative! I am asking Santa for Lipo too. I've been really really good this year. At drinking beer. I'll probably get coal and switches!
