Preparing the tiger

Every year we take all of the younger cousins in for a Halloween photo at Walmart. The first time that we did it was three years ago, when Slater was just a couple months old. All four boys were jungle animals - adorable!! The second year everyone came as a member of the Star Wars saga, last year was Jade's first time and it was fun to add a baby girl to all those boys, and this year (the 4th annual one - I love traditions!!) we had two super-heroes (Wolverine and Ironman), Slater the tiger and matching giraffes, Jack and Jade.


Note the pacifier on this tiger! Jade insisted on wearing Slater's costume for a little while. We got it large (4/5T) and she is just over a year ... it was cumbersome, but nothing beats getting into Slater's stuff.


He enjoyed watching the whole process in the bathroom mirror. He also wanted to add all the colors on the palette. This week during Jade's nap we will have to try out a few different types of faces.


The nose and whiskers was about all he stood still for. He was extremely interested in the fake blood, which came with the make-up set, but we decided to make it disappear instead.
