Skunk Y Monkey

PLEASE tell me you "get" the title? I mean, I like rhymes. So, if you don't get it, read it again with the "Y" being in Spanish. ;-) Haha! (See... one of those times that I've probably embarrassed the hubster right there.)

Anyway, this is gonna be a quick post. I need to get to bed early tonight. I've had a long day. I just want to share some pictures of my kiddos on Halloween. We went "Trunk or Treating" tonight at Curt's mom's church. Do you guys do this in other parts of the country? Trunk or Treating? I swear I hadn't ever heard of this until moving to Texas... Whatever. It's easy, convenient & all in one place. Plus, I kinda trust it a bit more being that the church puts the whole thing on, you know?

So, normally I make my girls costumes... at least parts of them. Well, anyone who knows me knows that translates into me working frantically all Halloween day trying to throw something together at the last minute. Why do I do this? I don't know. I just do. But, THIS year... this year Curt convinced me to just buy costumes at Old Navy, so that's what we did. :-) I thought they were pretty stinkin' cute, too. (No pun intended.)

I, of course, took them out for a few shots before the festivities. I was SOOO rushed, though. These were all taken in about 15 minutes. Oh well... these are just for me anyway. Here's my li'l stinker & my maniac monkey:






Wouldn't you know I'd actually get some decent photos of them TOGETHER when they're dressed as a monkey & a skunk? That's the way it works, right? Sheesh.

I have to say, though, they were TOO cute tonight. First, about 3/4 of the way through trunk or treating, Maya says, "my bag's full, I don't want anymore candy." And, well... that was it. No more candy for her despite the fact that her bag was NOT full. She just didn't want it to get any heavier. That, and she wanted someone to carry her. She's insanely lazy, I'm tellin' you! What other kid BEGS their parents to take a stroller to the zoo so they can ride in it? Most kids are itchin' to get out of the stroller, cart, whatever... not Maya. She's so, so, SO lazy. I'm serious.

So, on the car ride home, Emma starts passing some of her candy to Maya saying that Maya doesn't have as much as her. Awww... SOOOO sweet, right!?! Then, Maya had TWO glow bracelets, and Emma only had one. Maya offered Emma her second one because she knows "Emma really likes the bracelets." They just melt my heart. Sometimes. :-)
