Candy!!!

We couldn't get Micheala to look up at the camera. She was too busy trying to figure out which piece of candy she could open without anyone's assistance.

My cute little punker! She loved it when I did her make-up! I'm in trouble.

Our first house!

I fully intended to sit this Halloween out! Micheala is just barely two, and I wasn't keen on the idea of buying a costume that she'll only wear once for $40. My dad came home Wednesday with an Elmo candy bucket and insisted that we go trick or treating. So with the help of Walmart and my YMCA buddies we transformed Micheala into a punk girl! A very very cute one at that. She especially loved it when I started dressing her. I was certain that she would pitch a fit when I started layering her up. Instead, she kept commenting on how pretty her leggings were, and that she wanted her shoes on. Yes, she told me, "Shoes, on". She is becoming extremely verbal and starting to put words together to form sentence fragments.
Her hair was my favorite part! I was going to give her a Mohawk, but her hair is SOOO curly that I couldn't really get it to stand up. Putting product in it just intensified the curls. She didn't like the purple spray, but she let us do it anyway. She loved the make-up!
Micheala wasn't real happy about holding her Elmo bucket that her Opie brought her UNTIL...the first house!!! Once they put candy into her bucket, we couldn't pry Elmo away from her. Once she figured out that she got candy when we rang doorbells, she was running up the driveway. She was the cutest little punk rocker I've ever seen! The best part was that her daddy got to join us. Josh is so busy building his hours that I was sure he was going to miss out on this holiday.
Now, I have to figure out what to do with all of the candy?!
