Too much candy, or just Two

We had a great time trick-or-treating on Friday night. The big kids were of course excited. While we were out Emma informed me that she's been trick-or-treating two times. (Maybe a few more than that), but at least she remembers last year. Ali got into it as well. She mastered the sayings, "me too", "trick-or-treat", and "thank you" by the end of the night. Bentley was a trooper; it wasn't until everyone else had either gone in already or were complaining that their feet hurt that he finally agreed it was time to call it quits. The kids came away with way too much candy and were very happy about it.

Well, it was either too much sugar or Ali is turning into a two year old (looking back I think it had something to do with the cold she's coming down with too), but this morning while getting ready for church, she was impossible. She had on a cute black, white, pink and green dress, and she has a cute ribbon and black sparkle shoes to match. However, she insisted that she would not wear her bow. "Tight" /taI/, she would say, and she wouldn't wear her black shoes. She has red sparkle shoes the same style and size (so it wasn't a comfort issue), but she would only put on the red ones. I got the black ones on a few times with distractions, but she would immediately take them off and go for the red. What am I going to do when she's a teenager...
