We had a wonderful Halloween although it was much more work than I expected. Drew got a little wild when the Watson's arrived and putting him in his tiger costume and football jersey only fed the fire! Fortunately, he calmed down once we got going and was tickled pink (or purple and gold) to "roar" his way around the neighborhood. He looked so darn adorable! He didn't want to wear the tiger head which I expected so I painted his face a bit to make up for it. Whitley looked precious as ever and was a darling little cheerleader! She even shook her pompom while going door to door! Although I worked on "trick-or-treat" with Drew a few times, he only used "please!!!" when getting the goodies. He was very polite and took only one piece at each home. We decorated the wagon to keep up our LSU theme and it looked great! Cristie and I carried the kids quite a bit though since it was hard to maneuver the wagon on stairs. George stayed behind and passed out candy at home. At first I felt bad for him but after carrying Drew to 5 or 6 homes I realized that drinking a beer on the front porch checking out all the cute costumes would have been an easier gig! George and I did switch at the end and he took Drew to the last few homes. Our little tiger was so pooped that he climbed right in bed in his costume and didn't even flinch as I scrubbed the LSU tattoo off his face. And if I recall correctly from college, those are not pleasant to remove!
Drew loved Whitley's megaphone and kept talking into it and then turning it around to get Whitley to do the same!
Getting ready to roll! Cristie did a great job decorating the wagon.
Eating snacks on the way out. It was the only way to get Drew to stay in the wagon.
Roaring back home!
