Pew!

We had great plans to make Julia into something a little more feminine for Halloween this year. Daddy would make a cute princess outfit or something. There would be pink and fluff....or something. That was the plan until we found this skunk suit at half price. It was just too fitting to pass up. She is such a little stink bomb. It was meant to be. Besides, Julia loved her skunk suit. She wore it willingly and danced around the living room after we put it on.

We went trick-or-treating with Julia and she lasted over an hour! We actually ended up coming home because Mommy and Daddy were freezing. Julia, on the other hand, just kept shrieking, "Treeeeeeeeeat!!! Haweeeeeeeen!!!" And shaking her arms vigorously. I think Julia deserves an award for "most holiday spirit" this Halloween. It was pretty much the best evening of her life, thus far. Not bad for eighteen months....Mommy and stinky baby
Julia and Sawyer, our little neighbor boy. We went trick or treating with him and his twin brother, Aidan, for about twenty minutes before they got sick of it.

Julia likes to steal Sawyer's toys....and he doesn't really fight back. Quite the relationship if you ask me! In this photo, you can see Julia contemplating how she is going to steal that baby bottle from his clutches.
and yes....she did.

I think we have more pictures of the back of her than the front. A skunk waddling down the street. Julia didn't want to be carried.
We were trick-or-treating with Aidan and Sawyer, the twin boys that are Julia's age who live next door. Julia was always first on the doorstep...except she just wanted to explore other people's houses. She would walk right past the candy bowl and waltz into the living room of the unsuspecting candy-givers. I got a nice look at the inside of a lot of our neighbor's houses...
Julia and Daddy cut into the pumpkin.... Five points for mommy and daddy! Notice that Daddy has a butcher knife....and Julia has a spoon!
Ew! Pumpkin guts.
