Professional Photos ...

It's hard to believe -- as I write this I can hear Cooper upstairs flat-out refusing to sleep for the Second Big Day! -- but they're actually pretty sweet kids.

A photographer at a national chain mall photography group did a pretty good job capturing that last weekend. Here's a sampling:

Enjoying the spoils

Afterwards, Jake lounged about and showed Cooper the cool skull lollipop he got when trick or treating. Note the open adulation Cooper has on display in the second photo.

That won't last long.

Actual action shots of the actual trick or treating.

Jake generally did well, although he didn't much care for any of the "skull-based" masks we encountered. "Scary!" Was his point. I couldn't much argue, although I did convince him at one point that a T-Rex could easily take out those skeleton guys. Eventually, he agreed.

Cooper as Cavebaby!

Since it seems Jake gets all the attention by being mobile and all ...
