Happy Halloween!

Jax wanted to be a pirate this year so I started the hunt for the appropriate costume, early. I had seen the many pirate costumes that resembled "real" pirates and having my 3 year old dressed as a drunk, cross-dresser for Halloween wasn't my idea of a "pirate". However, I got lucky and found one that looked a bit more sane. It was way too big but we pulled it off and after getting the total cost together, Jax will wearing this one again next year, so sorry in advance for next year's boring Halloween pictures. Anyway, he LOVED it! It was great! He played the part beautifully, scowling at people and raising his sword when they would answer to the door. The kid definitely has a future in theatrics should he choose to pursue that avenue.... We went trick or treating to about 10 houses before he had a temper tantrum on someone's lawn (while all my friendly neighbors were watching, of course), which made my night because we got to finish up early! Ha ha ha! Mom's always win! It was the perfect pirate ending - drunk (on sugar) and passed out on the lawn, hat and sword thrown aside.
