Halloween costume #1: CARL

My friend Bridget texted me a picture of a baby impersonating Carl from the movie "UP" thinking it would be a great idea for Nolan's Halloween costume. I agreed!

If you haven't seen the movie...Carl  is 78 years old, very angry, and by tying thousands of balloons to his home, he set out to see the wilds of South America.

Just in case you needed another shot of him..

First we had to go to Card Factory Outlet to get our balloons! Didn't realize my car was so small..but luckily Nolan didn't mind.

Then I had to scout the yard to see where we should take the pictures..Nolan (who looks like a hyvee worker at this point) anxiously looked out the door wondering what I was up to.

 Then he saw a car and could have cared less about what I was doing.

It was Nolan's nap time when we decided to take the pictures so he was in an extra ornery mood just like Carl...possibly angrier..He are some outtakes:

(After we had a small mishap on the concrete we decided to move the shoot to the backyard..we haven't  raked our leaves because we don't own our house anymore so we could care less.  Sorry future homeowners!)

 It was pretty windy out today...

 Baby down!  He's not hurt..he's just trying to stay in Carl character...

 We decided to let him use his little cart that he's loved since he's been old enough to crawl..

 This worked better....but other things started failing...Nolan was not meant to be Carl for Halloween..good thing I got him a smurf outfit for actual trick or treating!

Perfect last picture!
