Happy Halloween

Before we get to pictures of Augie in his Halloween outfits, we have to start with a few pictures of Augie with grandma and grandpa Steinke and cousin Mikey because they came to see Augie before Halloween. Augie is wearing his favorite Halloween shirt, though, so the pictures are still Halloweeny.

Cousin Mikey found Augie's play phone (aka mom's old cell phone) and wouldn't let it go.
He thought it was his phone.

When he wasn't buggin' Mikey, Augie went for a walk with grandma through toyland...

...and made grandpa laugh.

But enough about grandma and grandpa. On to the Halloween pictures. Augie dressed up as a cowboy on Friday and Sunday. Actually, he got a sheriff's star with his hat and bandanna, so he was really more of a sheriff, but I still called him a cowboy.

On Friday, Augie came to my office in this outfit so all the ladies could fawn over him and his cuteness. You can't see it in the picture, but there is a boot, hat and lasso on the pant leg. He looked pretty awesome, but that hat wouldn't stay on. Neither would the boots. The smallest size they make was still too big for his foot.

On Sunday, on Halloween, Augie went trick or treating with pastor's three kids because dad had to work and mom didn't want to take Augie by herself. This cowboy outfit includes a red flannel shirt and a string for his hat so it wouldn't fall off so much.

Mom and dad got to keep most of Augie's candy, but he was given a victory sucker on the car ride home. Someone, who will remain unnamed, put an unsavory hat on Augie's head while I wasn't there, so I changed it into a Bears hat for Augie's safety.

When Augie got home, he tried to ride off into the sunset with his bag of goodies...

...but apparently somebody poisoned the water hole. (Gretchen told me to write that, she thinks it's funny).
