Teaser

I got some cute photos of Lily the other night after Boo-in-the-Zoo, a Halloween event at the Greenville Zoo we attended on Friday night with some of our friends.  I will have to write a separate post about that, with pictures of her costume!  But for now, here is a teaser…one of a series of pictures I took when we got home.  She couldn’t eat most of the candy we got at the zoo (gee…whatever will we do with the candy she couldn’t eat?  I’d hate to throw it away…), but she has had a lollipop before at the doctor’s office after shots*, so we let her have a Dum-Dum after dinner in her high chair.  She was a drooly, sticky mess, but she was SO excited to be getting a lollipop that she got super-silly and gave some cute poses.  I love having lots of cute pictures, of course, but it makes it tougher to stay up-to-date because there is more to sort through.  I also can’t resist tweaking cute photos, which adds to the work.  I’m not sure it’s worth the time, but I do think the edited photo is just a little better and corrects for the poor lighting in my house.  I’m not going over-the-top, just doing basic edits and it only takes about 1 minute.  Any thoughts?

I tease you!

*Okay, so she has had a couple of other lollipops in her short little life (like at the fire station as mentioned in another post I just wrote), but the strangest place is at the liquor store.  I brought her in with me to pick up something one afternoon, and the guy at the checkout offered her a lollipop while asking me if it’s okay.  Gee, sir, could I possibly say “no” now without shattering your eardrums as the lollipop is already in her hand?  Anyway, the most amazing part, is that he then proceeded to tell Lily that she should always tell mommy to come back to the “Lollipop Shop” (which I assure you was not the actual name of the store).  Does anyone else think that was a bit bizarre/inappropriate?
