Happy Halloween!

Maddox had so much fun dressing up this Halloween. I was unsure if he would wear his tiger head because he refused to wear it at all every time I tried to get him to put it on for the longest time, but the night before Halloween, he put it on and didn't want to take it off. Even when it kept falling in his eyes, he would just push it up out of the way and keep on going. He made such a precious tiger, especially when he would "Roar"!

The Saturday night before Halloween we tried to get Maddox and Jackson to wear their costumes so we could take some pictures of them, but unfortunately Jackson was having none of it. No amount of bribery could make him wear the lion head. He put it on for a split second, but was pretty upset about it the whole time. He was the saddest, but cutest lion you ever did see...

Here is one of the best attempts at a shot of the two of them together--Maddox just looking at Jackson (and not at the camera) while Jackson screamed for the lion head to be taken off. As you'd probably guess, Jackson won that battle...

On Halloween, we went to First Baptist's trick-or-treating event. They had tents set up and you could trick or treat at the tents instead of going door to door. They also had some little games for the kids too. The first thing Maddox got in his pail was a pack of fruit snacks. Of course, he had to eat them right away...
Found a peanut! Look who we ran into...Justin!
Checking out his goodies. He really liked that large spinner thing sticking out of his bucket because it had a pumpkin (his favorite) on it and it spun around and lit up when he pressed the button. I'm pretty sure he played with it the whole way home.
We ran into Mary Lee as a cute little bumblebee and we tried to get a picture of the two of them, but unfortunately bees are scared of tigers. Mary Lee cried as soon as Maddox got anywhere near her so Maddox just looked at her and slowly backed away. It was pretty cute and made for a funny picture too...
Look who FINALLY put on the lion head! After countless bribes and everyone pretty much begging him Jackson still refused to wear the head. They left and headed to the car and much to everyone's surprise at the car, Jackson magically said he'd wear the head and after that he didn't have much of a problem. Slightly earlier timing would have been better, but better late than never! He made a mighty cute lion too!

We finally got that picture of the two of them that we wanted. It's definitely not perfect, but they are both in the frame and facing the camera and that's about all we could ask for! I think we could open a super cute zoo with these little guys!

Taking a picture with RaRa before heading out...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my little tiger...
