Trunk orTreat

Our church "trunk or treated" on Saturday night. I took the girls a couple of weeks ago to pick out there costumes. The May chose to be a cow, The Lynn chose (with my help of course) to be a pig, and The Belle chose to be a farmer (with a little guidance from me since there was not a farm animal costume in her size). I tried the animal costumes on in the store and The Lynn pitched a fit when I took it off of her. I frequently asked The Lynn "are you going to be a pig?" and she would reply with a hearty "ses (yes)". So, trunk or treat day arrives. The plan was to celebrate Aunt Sarah's birthday with Grandmama and Pappy and then head to trunk or treat. So, the time comes to put on the costumes. Everyone was so excited, everyone but The Lynn. I try to put the pig on her and she quickly puts her chin down to her chest (with the grumpiest face imaginable) and says "no". I quickly remind her that she loves the pig and all week has been saying "pig, yes". After battling with her for 20 minutes or so I knew the pig costume was not going on. Thankfully, we have costumes from years past so I drove home and got a ladybug costume. She also protested the ladybug but Aunt Sarah and myself prevailed and she grumpily headed to trunk or treat. The girls had a great time and got entirely too much candy. The bucket of candy has currently been moved to the top of the refrigerator due to sneaky little hands constantly going through it (cough, cough, The Lynn and The May). I have a feeling that bucket may be cleaned out by the end of the week (wink, wink). Here are some pictures from the night.
