This morning, we went to the Houston Zoo where they were hosting their Halloween celebration, Zoo Boo. The zoo was decked out in Halloween decor. It was so cool. They had stations where the kids could trick or treat, but of course, Andrew didn't really get that part. He did like the candy he got though! Later on, Aunt Linda and Max joined us. We let the boys get temporary tattoos--Drew wasn't too sold on it though. He wiggled when the woman was putting it on him, but didn't cry. Afterwards, he was fine and liked to look at it on his arm. Then, we headed to the pumpkin patch where the kids could get a small pumpkin and decorate it. Andrew liked touching the pumpkins and grabbing them. However, he wasn't keen on decorating it.
Afterwards, we returned home to get ready for the Texas-OU game. Aunt Monica came over bearing all kinds of delicious food. Aunt Linda and Max came over after they finished at the zoo. Uncle David also joined us. Andrew and Max played with Andrew's toys. Andrew did snatch some of his toys that Max was playing with unfortunately. But after reprimand, he did give it back to Max. Later though, Andrew ended up having a meltdown--he was so tired, but didn't want to go down for a nap. I am sure he wanted to play with Max more. But then, he would say he wanted to go night night, but didn't want to go upstairs. Well, I finally got him to fall asleep. By then, Aunt Linda and Max had to leave so that Max could take a nap too.
Later, Uncle Steven, Aunt Belinda, and Evan came over at the second half. So, after Andrew woke from his nap, him and Evan played. Andrew did well sharing--guess he was just too tired earlier. Also, Aunt Brenda came over later with her cute pregnant belly (they are having a boy). I should mention that Aunt Linda is expecting a boy too!
Luckily, the Horns managed to win the game against the Sooners. It was an ugly game, but a win no less! Go Horns!
I should explain Andrew's costume (or lack of one). We didn't have his actual costume yet (it's in the mail). I did have the monkey costume that we had from his birthday invitations, but when I tried to put it on this morning, he didn't want to wear it. I didn't want to fight with him so I put him in our usual Saturday attire--burnt orange. And I just figured he could go as a Longhorn fan or better yet, Colt McCoy and I then would be Vince Young. ;)
