Bat Girl Strikes Again

So Halloween was fun this year. We had a really big party at school that mom came to and then we had a parade and got to walk around and show other classrooms our costumes. Here's me with my bestie, Nadia.

Then we went out to Nana's and I painted a mask on my face and got serious about trick or treating. My cousin Sophie was a really spooky looking witch and Eli was, well, a fox.

And when it comes to jaguars, I got to hang with the most loveable jaguar of them all, Miss Mae.

Actually, Halloween kicked off a couple weeks ago. See, we were going to Jake's house and our moms and since Mae and I had just gotten our costumes we really wanted to wear them, so our moms and dads said what the heck and we all wore them. 

And you should probably be careful when the Dark Knight and Batgirl are around.

Since we were dressed up we decided to hit up the local pumpkin patch and a playground by Jake's house, which was a lot of fun.

And these two were dressed up as Mom and Pax, best costumes ever.

Feed the Beast

Well, after the last week or so of Pax just staring at us as we eat dinner every night we figured it was time.

So we saddled him up, mixed the cereal and he got after it.

Oh, and the festivities were so exciting that a jaguar strolled in to see what was going on and Bat Girl swooped in from... well... wherever Bat Girl is from. And yes, apparently jaguars suck their thumbs too.

And after yucking it up for a bit we jumped on in for a helping or two.

End of Summer

Well, it's getting to be the end of Summer so I thought I'd share a few random goings-on. First off, remember my last post where everyone was sick and then we got better.... well, everyone is sick AGAIN! I got a fever again two nights ago, Pax has a fever again and Mae doesn't have a fever yet but she's acting like such a maniac we're pretty sure one is coming.

ANYWAY, here are a couple shots Natalie took of us on a recent warm day (before we got sick) doing what Mae and I do best.

And I know I haven't shown you a lot of Paxton pics lately. Well, here is one we really like - it's him sleeping in bed with his wolf. Yah, he basically lays on his side and pulls the wolf into his face to fall asleep. Then sometimes he rolls to his back (as he did here) and brings the wolf right with him over his face.

And here's the little man with the big smile.

And lastly, we went to a street festival on Sunday (right before we realized I had a 102 fever) and Mae got probably the best face paint either of us has ever gotten. She requested a blue jaguar and though I was skeptical that the woman could pull it off....

She nailed it. And here she is back at home with Mommy Lion.

Tree Visits, Volume 3

I know they kinda live here so they didn't technically "stop by," but they did participate in a photo opp by the tree, so this, ladies and gentlemen, is Volume 3.

Dad and I made cheetah and jaguar faces.

And then Mae stopped by, more than once. First time she stopped by... not so good.

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

So I decided to give her the "Mae, you never know, these might just end up on Facebook" speech and she realized those last couple photos were not all that flattering; so she changed her tune and we got ourselves another successful tree visit.

Mabel even got dressed up in her Mr. Rogers outfit the next day and came back for more. I think at one point she turned away from me and I heard her say under her breath, "Yeah, Fin, Facebook that!"
