Mission Impossible

  I have a pair of very special dresses.  When Mic was a babe she wore the little one and her cousin wore the big one, we took them to the studio and had some pictures taken.  I thought it would be neat for my girls to have some picture taken in them too, since the sizes worked out so perfect.  For one reason or another a trip to the studio is just not coming together, so I decided I'd better at least take matters in my own hands and get some home pictures.  We are in dire need of an updated family picture too, so my mission became: Get a good picture of all three children while the girls are in their dresses. 
 Really.  How hard can it be? ...I took about 50 pictures. Don't worry, I didn't paste all 50, I think you'll get the idea anyway! LOL

So, my son was traumatized with taking the sock off and besides that, no one was looking.  "Its ok, we are just starting out anyway."  "Come on guys, look at the camera!"
 "Put your hand down, lean back, look this way, ...Smile!"
 "Now your just being silly!"
 I did get some individual pics that were quite rescuable...


 "...but I really did want you all together, lets try again"
 The melt down begins...
 and intensifies...
 Maybe the floor will work better?
 "Ha! I got you all three looking at the camera!!!"
Victory!?
...but you can't really see the dresses... ...sigh...
 Maybe sitting this way?
" DJ, ick!"
"...I give up."

El Dia Del Niño

Here are some pictures from Children's Day. We had a nice quiet celebration for the kids with some friends. It was so very enjoyable. I forgot the camera, but DH took some for me on his cell and that made me happy as a clam.

Since we were the first ones there we took some time to sing while waiting. Mic was fascinated with their child sized guiter...we may have to start saving!
The weather was perfect for the wading pool, and that kept them occupied for a very long time.
Before we went home they decorated some picture frames.
Even DJ got in on the action.
Concentrating hard...
And sharing nicely (for the most part)! ;o)
Before I end, I have been meaning to post mom's carepage link, so let me do that. You can find her under "Dot's Reboot" or "Westover". You do have to become a member in order to see her page, the subscription process is simple and straightforward. The nice thing is that she is able to see who has been checking up on her and I think it is encouraging to know that people care enough to be checking in. So with no further ado heres the link. https://www.carepages.com/login
