A Halloween Riddle

IMG_0889

Got a riddle for ya...what is classified as a ruminant mammal, often has a reticulated pattern and kicks a gourd?

Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

Okay, here's another clue...

Oh, you're so close. But I'll just spare you anymore guesses and tell ya...

It's a pumpkin kicking giraffe.

Yes, you're right...they are a rare sight in nature...

We've been trying to domesticate this one. You can probably guess how well that's been going...

And can you even believe we were fortunate enough to capture this elusive creature of film while on the photo shoot safari of the gourd-kicking giraffe?

It's the car-riding purple unicorn!

I should totally send these to National Geographic...

  1. Yep, I can see National Geographic forking out millions for those shots;) They are so cute, a baby covered with fur, I bet they'll be getting load of cuddles with that combination.

  4. A rare sighting, indeed! And who knew the giraffe had so many kissy places on his sweet, baby face?!

  5. Certainly, you should win some kind of award for this obscure find. What a great start to my morning even if I have been up since 4 a.m.

  11. Those are great costumes. They're so cute. I still can't get over their eyes. Wait until next year, and they won't let you pick the costumes.

  12. Aaaawwww....so cute!! My son had a costume like that when he was about that age but his was a lion....and he was still trying to wear it when he was 5 (needless to say he got stuck in it and I had to PRY it off him).

  15. There is nothing more adorable than toddlers dressed up as wildlife. I would actually buy National Geographic if they had pictures that cute. LOL

  19. They are just too precious! Did you buy those at Costco?

    ReplyDelete
  20. They are so cute. National Geographic (or maybe Parents Magazine) should be knocking down your door for these pictures!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Those look warm...great for Alaska trick-or-treating!

  22. How cute!! I love the costumes! Maybe I should have gotten my kiddos those since it will be chilly Friday night!

    ReplyDelete

  27. What adorable pictures! Hope you have a very Happy Halloween! I can't wait to see all the cute costumes! But on the other hand I want it over so I stop eating all this candy :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Why, it's my fave animal! Are you going to paint his tongue blue?

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think you captured a true one of a kind since there is certainly no pumpkin kicking giraffe as cute as that one!

    ReplyDelete
  30. National Geographic could only wish to be so interesting. Cute pictures!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. This is better than the zoo! So cute!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ahhhh! Giraffe's are my favorite animal. How cute! Love the jack 'o lantern too. I guess we'd better get to carving ours this afternoon!

    Happy Halloween!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Sooooo cute! They definitely belong in a magazine!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Well, I found the problem, my friend. I guess my interned filter service (which I have a love/hate relationship with) does not like flicker. So I've submitted your flicker files for review so that they'll be allowed. Hopefully that will work. I do love your photography. You've got such a good eye, and you tell a might funny story with it as well.

    Hope you all had a fun Halloween! Mina

  35. OH! they are so stinkin' cute, I don't know if I left that comment lately, but I keep looking at your twins and just loving how adorable they are!

    ReplyDelete
  36. SO cute! i have a pumpkin kicker too. but he's not a giraffe, mine is a devil.

    love the unicorn too! SO CUTE! you should totally submit those to national geographic!

    ReplyDelete
  37. How cute! I guessed giraffe, but I hadn't guessed the cute factor! Love the little unicorn too!

    ReplyDelete
  38. You might be due for some big bucks with these sightings. So cute. If we would have allowed for pumpkin carving we would have seen some of the same behaviors. My Addee just throws her pumpkin as far as she can every chance she gets.
