Halloween 2010: A Day in the Life of a Gnome

As soon as we saw the garden gnome costume in the Target ad, we knew Jax had to have it! The only problem was...he wasn't a fan of the beard as you can see below. It was so nice out that we decided to go outside so the gnome could have some fun and get some work done...
Our attempt at the beard...but someone wouldn't have any part in it.
Getting ready to go down the slide. It almost seemed like this guy was more about play time than work time.
At the bottom of the slide...still having a good time
Playing in the big pile of leaves that took up half of our yard. Since the costume was made of felt, you will see a lot of leaves stuck to Jax throughout the pictures.
Thinking about getting to work as a gnome
Finally taking his post
But only for a second...then back to play time
Pacing around the yard with his garden dog, Wrigley
A Halloween is not complete without Wrigley dressing up. This year...a skeleton! Looks like he had some candy corn and dog bones
We finished up the night with passing out candy to our trick or treaters...and watching "Elmo Says Boo" which was Jaxon's favorite movie this fall. When asked what Elmo says, you will hear a quick reply, "Boo!" and of course he will always dance when you start singing the Count's favorite song, "Bones, Bones, Bones, Bones...Bones inside of you". We enjoyed Halloween, but we were ready to move onto the next Elmo movie for Christmas!
