This year for Halloween, the boys and I dressed up like zoo animals and Jesse was the zoo keeper. We thought we were pretty clever. :) Most days I do feel like I'm part of a zoo with two very energetic little boys!
Andrew was the cutest giraffe I've ever seen. He loved his costume and he enjoyed the Halloween festivities. We went trunk-or-treating at the church, then to a few homes in the neighborhood near the church. He was a little shy, but told everyone thank-you went he left their door. Now, a few days after Halloween, when he wants me to let him pick a piece of candy from his bag, he asks for a "trick-or-treat." When we drove around while he was wearing his costume, Andrew was very worried about sitting on his giraffe's tail. I looked back from my seat up front to see him trying, with both hands, to get his tail out from underneath him. It was quite hilarious.
Tanner was the cutest little lion, especially with his eye-liner whiskers. He loved wearing his costume, too. And he loved Andrew's costume. We had to get a few items from Walmart before we started our evening's festivities and the boys were in their costumes, riding in the back of the cart. Jesse and I turned our backs for just a moment to look at something and Andrew started carrying on something awful. We turned to see that Tanner had grabbed a hold of his horns and wouldn't let go. Basically, Tanner had Andrew in a headlock of sorts. It was so funny! He was our cute, FEROCIOUS little lion. He loved trick-or-treating, too. The first two pieces of candy he was given, he quickly figured out how to get open, so for the rest of the evening, he just got to go from house to house and NOT get any more candy. He enjoyed that just as much and we didn't have to try to regulate how much candy he tried to eat.

What a fun little zoo family- I love it! Your boys are so adorable- I wished we lived closer so we could hang out and let our kids have playdates : ). Oh, and happy birthday to Jesse today!
Oh i love it. They are both so adorable, Andrew's costume looks very cute on him, and i can picture him being worried about the tail! I can't wait to start dressing this baby up, it sure sounds like you guys had fun.
