Future border patrol

For Halloween Malachi was a border patrol agent, everyone is always saying how he is a mini Andrew, so I decided to make him a mini Andrew at work. He had the belt, the walkie talkie, the night stick, and some handcuffs. I spent about 20 minutes during his naptime tracing the badges from Andrew's uniform on yellow felt, and then hot glued them to a cheap-o walmart shirt. It turned out pretty awesome. The other BP agents at the trunk or treat loved it.
He really likes the night stick, I think he thinks it's some sort of hammer, he keeps banging it on the walls saying he's fixing them.
Here are my two BP boys. I love that Andrew's hat actually fit Malachi, I just had to tighten it. Like father like son, big head big head.

Making sure our backyard was safe, there may have been a few illegal ants.

His face in this one is my favorite, so funny! He really liked all his badges, and had so much fun at the trunk or treat with all his friends.
Sidenote- I won the chili cook off! Thank you Paula Deen for providing a fantastic recipe!

As I said before, he is adorable! I know you say that Andrew's shirt says "Deer," but I think it would be funnier if it said "Beer"! :)
