Fall 2013 Picture Day

The girls' school went with a new photographer this year and to say that I wasn't impressed would be an understatement.  

Poor Audrey had a huge bruise on the left front of her forehead.

If you look closely, you'll see a large tear under Vivian's right eye and she's holding a graham cracker in her left hand.  This was because she was hysterical and they gave her food to help calm her down.  Notice that she has a pink hair clip in.

 Notice the new clip?  Not sure what happened to the one I sent her in.

While the pics ended up turning out okay, I still took more of my own when they got home that day.

I love my girls!!

Halloween

Our Halloween season was filled with a lot of different activities.  First, we headed to the botanical gardens to take part in their trick or treating event and I think the girls had fun.  Audrey was Cinderella and Vivian was her mouse!

Look at Viv's tail!

The girls' school put on an event after hours for the kids and parents the night before Halloween.  Each classroom had a different event - games, tattoos, a movie, etc.

Getting a tattoo:

Then, of course, on Halloween, their school had classroom parties for the kids.  Bill was post-call so he was able to join us!

 Sisters!

 The goofy photo!

And finally, there was the main event.  It was cold, rainy and windy and were exhausted when it was over but we had a good time.  Bill went as Prince Charming and I'm Cinderella's Fairy Godmother!!

 And they're off.

I'm not sure what Vivian thought about all this.

At one neighbor's house relatively early in the night, Bill saw that Audrey was given Peanut M&Ms and asked if she could get something different.  From that house on, we heard Audrey telling everyone that she couldn't have peanuts.  It was nice to see that people would look through their candy to find something safe to give her.  That's not to say that both she and Vivian didn't come home with their fair share of candy containing peanuts.....just more for me!  Mmmmmmm.

I wonder what we'll all be next year??
