My Little Scarecrow

Trick-or-treat was a bit different this year... Adam and Atticus were both not feeling well, but I wanted Atticus to be able to hand out candy. (And selfishly I wanted to get a couple of pictures of him in his 'costume'...) So I dressed him up as quickly as possible, bribing him with candy to get his face paint on.
I was ill-prepared this year, (trick or treat totally snuck up on me!) so I pulled weeds from the garden to act as 'straw' and I used one of my winter hats, tucked under, as his straw hat. 

It worked, considering he had it on for maybe 10 minutes.

We got some fun pictures before the meltdown~ 




 He was a bit startled by all of the scary masks at first, but he got in the swing of giving the candy away... Atticus loves giving people things... it's one of his fun little 'quirks':)
*He has my vote for the cutest scarecrow there ever was!
