Little Stinker!

Lucy got to attend our church's annual Trunk-or-Treat bash last night. She got to enjoy a super healthy (HA) dinner of pizza and chips followed by halloween cookies and cupcakes, carve pumpkins, and best of all ~ she got to be a SKUNK! Lucy's been pumped up about being a skunk forever now. When I began asking her what she was going to be for Halloween (3 months ago) I let her look online at pictures of every costume you could imagine. I was leaning towards the flower, or bumble bee, or princess. Oh but no! Lucy saw the skunk and would have nothing else!!! When we actually went to the store I thought she would change her mind. I was wrong. She is as strong willed as her mother. She put the costume on and wore it in the store for an hour, and cried when we made her take it off. We actually bought the costume in August and had to hide it so she wouldn't ask to put it on EVERY DAY! She loves her costume and was so thrilled when she finally got to wear it last night. And she was even more delighted that I painted her nose black like a skunk. I have to admit that I was a little worried that the costume would be too hot (since it was still 100 degrees outside when we got the thing) but man was I thankful for fleece last night! It was so cold, even in her super warm skunk costume, it didn't take long for Lucy to beg to go back in! She had a great time and we're ready for another big day of treats tomorrow! (That is after another Harvest Party today at daycare, man this Halloween stuff wears me out! I was up til 11 last night carving "Jello Jack-O-Lanterns"!)

Goofy Lucy, ready to party!

Lucy and Daddy checking out the vampire!

Lucy and this little girl stared at Mrs. Stacey's ghosts and goblins forever! They were so fascinated.

So Mommy had to be in Louisville all day yesterday and drove way too fast to make it back in time to pick up Lucy, clean out my car, was my car, change my clothes, change Lucy's clothes, and decorate a trunk. I did make time to stop at Wal Mart on my way home to pick up some 1/2 price Halloween items to decorate with. So with all 5 minutes I had to fix my trunk, this is what it looked like. Not too fancy, but not too bad either for 5 minutes, I thought.

Lucy was the mommy skunk and Lane was the baby skunk! They were so cute!
