Happy Halloween!!!

Well, since both boys crashed before 8 o'clock tonight I have a little time on my hands to get our Halloween pictures up! Landon is home from Germany (yay!!!) and fought his jet lag long enough to make a few trick or treat stops with me and our little lion cub.

I wasn't quite sure how Hale would react to being dressed in a suit of fur- but I needn't have worried. He was so excited about being a lion! When I tossed the costume to Landon so he could help Hale get it on, Hale pointed to the little furry pile on the floor and did a big lion roar. He'd never laid eyes on it before - so Landon and I were totally shocked that he recognized it. He practiced his roars into the mirror a few times after he got the costume on.

We were running out of daylight so I had to make my Halloween photo shoot super quick. Daddy and lion were anxious to hit the road. What a beautiful evening!

More dad! More!



Our first stop: Mim and Poppa's house!

Arriving at Grandma Susan's door!



Grandpa Bud was still working in the field so Hale shot a few hoops in Grandpa and Grandma's living room to kill time until Grandpa got home. Unfortunately, he started to overheat a little bit so we had to turn him out onto the patio to cool down for a while. He was more than happy to play on his tractor in the dark, but came to the window to peek at us every once in a while to make sure he wasn't missing out on anything!



A big thanks to Gaard for lending us such a cool costume!
