tricks after treats

Trick or Treat?? At our house, it was tricks after treats...
Okay, all you professional parents, here comes your laugh...
We let Lucy have a super fun Halloween. Yep, we let her open and eat on any candy she wanted, why not, it's just one fun night right? I knew the sugar was flowing through her veins when I saw her doing a jumping dance combo move. Bedtime was around the corner and Lucy seemed unusually calm, drinking her normal cup of milk and having a few expected silly moments.
...okay, here is where our trick comes.....
Lucy yells down from her bed for another cup of milk and we feel sorry for her, wondering if she has too much sugar in her belly and needs something to settle it.........Yes, we took her another cup of milk.....
.....YES, it came up five minutes later.So, after the vomit was cleaned off every square inch of Lucy and her bed, new sheets on and teeth brushed, she finally got to sleep after what I thought might be her favorite holiday, until the last five minutes.
I can hear my sister tell me, "milk is not good on the sugar belly."
Oh well, live and learn.

adirondack while they play

Today Lucy got a last minute invite to play with a friend at an indoor park. Actually it is a showroom floor for this company that sells these playsets, genius. I could hardly believe the price on one of the sets was $18,000 dollars, we'll never see that one in the yard! The place seemed very clean and oh yeah, they have Adirondack chairs everywhere, YEP, that's right, if you look at the first picture closely you will see those relaxing chairs for parents to sit in while your kids play, GENIUS! We'll be back all winter if anyone wants to join us!

the bumbo

Our neighbors gave us this seat when Violet was born, which we put away at the time. I was asking my friend the other day if her son was using one since he was sitting up now and she told me it was suppose to be used before they sit up. So, I ran down to the basement and pulled it out! We did not have a "Bumbo" when Lucy was a baby, so it was new for all of us.
So, here she is in her Bumbo....it is pretty cute, especially that her little legs fill out the openings, but it seems to do as it promises and holds her sitting up. Big sister likes it more than any of us and since she has little bird legs, she can fit in it too!

weekend fun

Saturday my hubby and I got out on the town, it was bliss.
Sunday we took the girls to the Childrens Museum haunted house, it was fun just to have a family day. I cannot believe it is the last week of October, hope you all have your costumes ready! Have a great Monday!

Octoboo

Minnie & Daisy

Tonight the girls had their Halloween party(Octoboo) at the library, it was so fun to see all the kids dressed up. Lucy was like a deer in headlights at first, seeing all the different costumes. There were a ton of kids; ALL eating candy at bedtime, it was interesting. A Mickey in the crowd was thrilled to find my Minnie, but most of the kids that walked by us loved to point out that Violet was Daisy, it was sweet.

dressing herself

Lucy is all of a sudden into picking out what she is going to wear for the day, it can be interesting. Here she is today in her kimono and last weekend at a farm chasing chickens in her tutu.....

pigtails

I cannot believe Lucy let me put her hair in pigtails...LOVE IT!
