Boo Boo the Baby Elephant

     Last blog I mentioned that Karsyn was pulling up to everything.  As most of you know, falling is quite common in the early walking stages.  Right before Halloween, Karsyn fell in my parents' living room and got her first boo boo.  My Mom thinks she fell against the recliner.  Anyway, it looked just like carpet burn.  Of course, it was nice and "scabby" the day after, which was Halloween.

Hey.

 

Little honey BOO BOO

     Halloween was pretty low-key for us.  Halloween fell in the middle of the week this year, and Karsyn goes to bed fairly early, so late-night trick or treating was out of the question.  We decided to take her to the Trunk or Treat at McLeansville Baptist Church.  Justin's brother Joe and his family go there, as well as some of my family. Before we went to the Trunk or Treat, we had to "make the rounds."  I picked her up from my parents, then we stopped by Nana & Pops house, went 2 houses up to Austin & Vernes, then went to Paw Paw Frank's, and finally made it over to the church (and Justin's Mom was there too).   Boy did they have a set up!  They had a giant inflatable slide, games, popcorn, bbq and cars decorated for candy-giving.  Although Karsyn couldn't eat the candy, we wanted her to have the exposure, and "take it all in."  (plus we could eat what she couldn't)

     Seeing that Karsyn is cute all the time, finding the perfect costume to match that was key.  Back in September, we had bought her a pumpkin suit from Toys R Us.  It was cute, but it was still lacking.  We happened to be in Carter's one day, and came across the perfect costume....A baby elephant!

Look at me!

I can hardly stand the cuteness!

     We knew this was the one because everytime she would put it on, she would giggle.  She was the cutest thing!  Below are some actual pics from Halloween.  Wouldn't you know, she isn't smiling in any of them.  She's still cute though!  By far, the cutest little elephant I've ever seen.

You want me to carry a bucket?

Just look at those eyes & lips!
