A party...and a faceplant

Today we had our annual playgroup Halloween party. There was an adorable assortment of characters...Buzz Lightyear, a fireman with a dalmation, Tinkerbell, Mickey, a pumpkin, a skunk, a butterfly, and two fairy princesses. K's costume might look familiar; she wore the same outfit I took her 3 year photos in. We just added a little facepaint and spray glitter and viola! Instant fairy princess!

Today was not a stellar day for nutrition, I can assure you. For lunch, KK had a bat cupcake, mini-marshmallows, a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin, a blueberry muffin, and one bite of a carrot. And a peanut butter cup for dessert. The cupcakes K and I made were cute though!

After a short nap, KK had her first big girl swimming lesson (the kind where mommy doesn't have to get into the pool too!) She loved it and looked like such a big girl in the water without her trusted swim ring. When I told her at the start of the class that she didn't need her swim ring, her eyes were big as saucers. She braved the pool anyway, and did great!

The trip to the locker room was another story. KK had the shivers, so I wrapped her up in her towel and we headed out to get dressed. Halfway there she tripped on the non-slip mat and FACEPLANT! She was wrapped nice and warm in her towel, but she had no arms to catch herself! She bit both the inside and outside of her lip, bruised the gum above her right front tooth, and has a clear imprint of the non-slip mat on her chin and cheek! The imprint got worse after I took this picture and as the evening went on, but hopefully it won't look too bad tomorrow. It's amazing how much blood can come from such a little lip. We got ice on it right away, so it didn't swell too bad. Poor sweetie.
