Happy Halloween! {Lolapatra Edition}

Lola hates costumes, but I'm mean and I force her to wear one every year for 3 minutes while I take some pics of her.  Usually she is fine, as long as it doesn't involve too much time in a head-piece.  This year's costume, she found particularly terrible.  She hated every single piece of it. Introducing... Lolapatra! Yes, she is Cleopatra this year.  Queen of the Nile.  But I've taken to calling her Lolapatra She is not a fan of a tiara. What girl doesn't like a tiara? She is even less of a fan of the Cleopatra wig! "This is stupid.  I look stupid.  I'm done" "Seriously, let me inside before someone sees me in this gold lame get-up." Happy Halloween from Lolapatra and Me!

Lola's Fall Photoshoot

Fall always seems to be the time of the year when I drag Lola outside for pictures with pumpkins on the porch.  She wasn't very cooperative this year, but I got a few cute ones... Hey there pumpkin head... We moved to the backyard where I tried to get her to cooperate with a halloween banner I had purchased.  Nope, wasn't happening... Leaf on the beard... Just let me sit in the leaves... Stay Tuned for the Costume Pics!
