Halloween was a GREAT success and our sweet boy had a WONDERFUL time! He of course went as a lion cub...that's what he is after all! Plus, lately he's started roaring so it was too perfect!
I have to say, I normally devour him to pieces on a daily basis but he was especially delicious on Halloween, even tastier than all that candy I ended up eating, (no bueno).
The day started off with a trip to the Capitol where his AMAZING auntie Jo had prepared a trick-or-treating feast fit for a Lion King...
...but first we took some pictures on the Capitol lawn and let the cub soak in some sun. It's what jungle cats do best...
Jackson's auntie Jo gave him a gift bag full of his favorite cheerios (banana AND plum flavored!) and he obviously went to town on the wrapping...
And since I'm the cub's mom I got a 'mummy' cookie. Man Jo, you are GOOD! And so was that cookie ;)
After devouring some cheerios we took the cub trick-or-treating to different representative's offices where they gave him bags of candy and his other favorite treat--goldfish!
Here he is roaring for treats at the nice legislative directors. Scary...
The cub was tuckered out after his morning's jaunt at the Capitol so we went home to nap before his dada got home.
He was awoken by his big brother who was ready to go in his shark costume. Fitting huh? King of the jungle, King of the sea. Chaucer just loves competing with his brother and is constantly trying to steal the spotlight away from our boy. He's isn't the nicest brother around but what can we do, give him away? I tried. Jack won't allow it...but I digress...
After a stroll through our neighborhood we then took the boy to our friend Matt's parents' house so he could hang out with his friend, Max Davis.
Max went as MaxMan and the boys had a good time sitting in the front lawn and watching all the kids come by and ask for candy. Matt's parents house was the perfect scene for Halloween--they live in a great neighborhood with LOADS of kids, the nicest people and TONS of deer.
I wish I would have gotten a picture of the deer, I felt like we were in a movie with all these beautiful children and deer grazing all around us. It was like a Disney film in North Austin!
When we finally went home Jackson was exhausted but sooooo happy. We put him in his skeleton p.j's to end the night and when he woke up he fit in perfectly today--November 1st, Dia de Los Muertos!
As for his brother...Chaucer told us he'd take care of handing out the candy while we were gone but he ended up guarding it instead. We came home to this on our front porch...
