What can I say? She looked totally adorable in her ladybug costume! By the time we were ready to make our debut on Friday afternoon, she had resigned herself to the fact that the “hat” was staying on, so she quit tugging at it and moved on to more interesting things.
Lorraine and Kelly were nice enough to bring animal crackers for Emily’s first trick-or-treating event. And Janis bought stickers for her. (Which she tried to eat, but, um, what’s a little adhesive in the grand scheme of things? I suspect it builds character. Or something. Well, we’ve save those stickers for a little later, anyway.)
Instead of carving pumpkins ourselves, which is decidedly messy and time-consuming, we just admired the ones that Fairwinds Florist put in their window display.
You may not know this, but ladybugs are naturally very inquisitive. Apparently, they like to eat green squiggly things and lunge for glass coasters….
We didn’t go trick-or-treating, but we made sure to visit the bank, Mom’s house, Mary and Steve’s, Ray’s, and Grandma Jane and Kermit’s. Emily enjoyed displaying her cuteness. In fact, I think she’d like to wear a costume every day.

Very cute! My grandpa would always say, “It’s puts hair on your chest” instead of building character. My mom says that I would always look down with a worried look at my chest to see if it was coming true.

With her realistic ladybug costume and fast crawling across the floors I almost stompted on her. But then she screeched to a halt, turned her sweet face up with that smile that doesnot stop and I had to reassess. You can’t imagine how really cute she is. Both physically and personally.
