Attempt at Family Portraits

Here are a few of the failed attempts. We were at a park with a duck pond and Peyton was obsessed. We finally had to position ourselves where the ducks were in front of us so it would at least appear as though she was looking at the camera. Seriously, getting both kids to look at the camera at the same time and not have their eyes closed is like making the stars align. We knew this would happen though so we decided not to pay a professional and feel like we wasted our money so we just had Jeanne take them with our camera. Keep an eye out for the Christmas card to see if we got a decent one.

Halloween

We had a lot of fun for Halloween this year. The kids went to two trunk or treats, then a field trip to a pumpkin patch, then a playgroup Halloween party, then trick or treating. Peyton was a trooper, she kept up with the big boys and got a ton of candy that I just handed back out to trick or treaters when we got home.
