The Day After Halloween

So...I decided to take some pictures with Lauren dressed up with all of her goodies. Boy did the girl make out...candy, cards, bears, purse, baby food and MONEY!!! Check her out!!








During our photo shoot, the candy police came and said that Lauren broke the Halloween Safety Rule...Have an adult check your candy before eating. Lauren said, "I was checking to see if my daddy would like his Reeces." Lauren commited a crime and was sentenced to baby jail. In the blink of an eye she went from being a Love Bug to...a Jail Baby with her very own stripes!!

Halloween Day and Night

The weather on Halloween day was in the lower 80's so Grandy, Aunt Bebby, Nana, Lauren and I took a trip to Onslow Beach aka Base Beach. It was overcast which was perfect for relaxing, playing in the sand and breathing in the salty air!






After our beach outing, we came home, had some dinner and got ready for Trick-or-Treating. Lauren did not want to take an afternoon nap so she was a little cranky. I almost thought we were not going to be able to go but she pulled through. We had a great night filled with lots of smiles and pictures!! We went to three houses:

Lauren at my parents house

Lauren with Papa Ed

Lauren at Robbie's parents house where the paparazzi were waiting!

Halloween Eve!

Lauren spent the day with her Nana (my mom), Grandy, Papa and Aunt Bebby in Jacksonville on Friday. I joined them after work for dinner and thought I would surprise them by dressing Lauren up in her costume. They loved their little Love Bug!

Lauren at the Pumpkin Patch

Robbie and I took Lauren to the Swansboro First Baptist Church pumpkin patch so she could pick out her own pumpkin. At first all she wanted to do was play with the hay but she soon warmed up to the pumpkins. Her little pointer fingers started to check the pumpkins out by poking them and feeling the stems. We sat her near the small pumpkins and she crawled over and picked out her two. She would pick one up, shake it in her hands and would then hold it up like she knew it was hers. She was so stinkin' cute!
