Family shots

Here are some snaps of the kids. I am trying to jazz them up a little with some fun borders, what do you think? I'll have to find some more I think I like them. This first picture was a little pose that Ella just threw together! I wanted to take a picture of her hair because it's getting so long. Time for a hair cut Miss Ella!

Sorry Grif, this isn't so flattering! But it's the way it really is - he LOVES his watermelon. Afterwards there is a huge mess, even with the bib and a towel on his lap but who could resist watching him go at it?!

Two sisters. They were excited because they matched! Right now they are very interested in looking the same and wearing each others clothes. I wonder how long that will last, hmmmm.

Serious sandbox games

Although he's almost smiling in these pictures Griffin was quite serious about his sandbox games! He kept loading up the dump trucks, then move them around, line them all up like a train and then finally dump them out. This went on until I had to take him in for dinner (under great protest!). Such a boy. I couldn't resist the last picture, I love catching Madeleines' fuzzy hair in front of the sun!

The real sleeping beauty

We were a little mean today, Ella and I. Madeleine fell asleep while watching Pinky Dinky Doo and whatever I did, I couldn't wake her. So we (Ella and I) decided to take her into the studio to take some pictures of her! She will never let us so sleepy time is really my only opportunity! We pretended that she was sleeping beauty waiting for her prince to arrive - it was really very sweet. We placed her on a sheepskin then on a fluffy pillow, then we created a garden of flowers around her a some rose petals. The whole time she was just slumbering away. There is one of Madeleine waking, she was not very pleased to say the least. She stamped out of the room and sat on the stairs with her arms crossed. I can't say I blame her. But later on she asked to see the pictures and I could tell that she was secretly pleased we pretended she was a princess!
