trunk-or-treat

between our ward and hadley's cousin's ward, we hit two trunk-or-treats and hadley did a fantastic job at collecting a TON of candy to share with her mommy and daddy! she actually did a great job at saying "trick or treat" and the only problem we had was that she was trying to eat the candy out of her bucket as fast as it was being dumped in! she didn't get the concept of "wait and you'll get more" that we were trying to get across to her!

warning, this cute little giraffe will have a not-so-cute, scraped up and maked-up nose in most of these pics! her costume was too fat to fit into her carseat, and so we had to dress her once we got to the church. as we were coming back out, i encouraged her to "hurry and go find daddy." as soon as the words came out of my mouth, i realized that was not a good thing to encourage. she obeyed (for once!) and she started to trot in this costume that has built-in fat pads throughout its lower half. before i could take the words back, her little legs tripped over each other and she fell flat on her face. i felt sooo bad and her poor little nose was scraped up and bleeding. i'm so sorry hadley. you were much cuter in the costume before you biffed it. lucky for mom, your still cute after, too!
