The
Kasparek's annual trip to
JCPenny's Portrait Studio is always an adventure and today was no exception. Trying to decide on a time of day when both kids are usually in a pretty good mood (which happened to be right in the middle of the Iowa football game-oops), is always a crap shoot. The photographer was trying to get them both to look and the camera, smile, and catch a magic moment in a split second. Here's a few of the more comical attempts:
"Put your arm around Camden"
Yes, this is the way Emma always puts her arm around her dear brother, but not exactly what the photographer was going for.
"
Camden, give Emma a kiss"
Camden goes in for a bite...
"
Look up!"They were both looking at the floor and took that direction a bit too literally...
I am happy to say that we did get two priceless shots of our adorable angels. :)
We're really going to miss Daddy this week and hope he has fun at his conference in Jacksonville!
...then warm up by the fire with a great book.
As soon as she got home, she decided to show her love with a little artwork:
"Here you go Camden. I can't touch you, but I made a picture for you. You're pink since you have the pink eye."
Who needs Robin when Batman can have Dora as his sidekick?!?!
This is as far as the kids got when we arrived back at our house...
A little pizza to absorb some of the sugar.
Round #2: trick or treating around our neighborhood.
When the gang came back to the house to unload some candy and take a potty break, Spiderman and Diego were nowhere to be found...they were hiding in the living room digging into their loot!
Chris, Chris, and Louie's take on trick or treating...
Let the sugar high begin!!!
After changing into their jammas, Claire, Emma, and Camden were ready to help me hand out candy...
I think the guys had a very successful evening trick or treating!
