Happy Halloween!

So I know I already posted pictures of Jax in his Halloween costume here, but you didn't think that would stop me from taking lots of pictures of him on Halloween as well did you?  Sure Jax's bedtime is 6:30 before most trick-or-treating begins around here and he can't eat the candy, but we dressed him up to show off to the neighbors anyway.  Besides, Jasper really wanted some candy.

Here is our little sheriff ready for his big night. 

His costume seemed to be missing something that every sheriff needs ... deputies, deputy dogs that is!

My mom found these hilarious sheriff costumes for the dogs and we couldn't resist trying to get a group shot.  Gotta love my husband.  I told him I wanted to dress them all up and instead of telling me I was crazy he just said "sure."  I am glad my family puts up with my crazy ideas.  The dogs tolerated the costumes MUCH better than anticipated.  Still, with two dogs that don't know the meaning of the word stay and one 6 month old, the odds of getting a picture of them all sitting together was slim.  The picture above was the best we got.  Here were a few others.

Ready to go trick or treating!

After we made our stops (all 4 houses) Jasper took the dogs on a well deserved walk while Jax and I went back inside. 

We hung out on the front porch for a little while until it was Jax's bedtime (well before most trick or treaters came).  This year I forgot to get candy until the day before and remembered while I was at Whole Foods.  They didn't have lots of candy options, but they had Halloween pretzel packs.  I thought that was a great option so I picked a few bags up.  Jasper's response was "so we are going to be those people that hand out pretzels at Halloween?"  Jax loved the pretzel bags though (even if he didn't get to eat any) so I think that is proof they were just as good as candy. 

While Jax played with the pretzels, Jasper ate his candy.  

How many years do you think Jasper will get away with this?

This was taken right before taking Jax in for his bath.  He was sooo tired but such a good baby during it all.  He loves hanging out on the porch and people watching.  He also apparently loves hats because he wore his the entire time and never tried to take it off.

The girls didn't like that they couldn't greet trick or treaters at the door.  So they resorted to looking and barking from the window.  Our house is mass chaos for little trick or treaters.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!
