{trick-or-treat 2}

As always, we went to Waterford Village for our trick-or-treating. It is the best. Not a lot of candy, but so storybook-like.
Each the school decorates a home for each class based upon different themes. This year it was books that had come to life in movies. Charlie and the CHocolate Factory, Harry Potter, Charlotte's Web. It was awesome. Our kids really had a great time, and Jaxon cannot wait until he can just run off with his friends like Olivia does!

This year, Isabella picked out her Snow White costume literally the first day Target got their shipment of Halloween in.
She knew exactly what she wanted to be, and i was just happy it wasn't Elmo again.
As October moved on, Izzy wore the costume at least once a day and it started showing some serious signs of wear. We even found a wig online that was just perfect.
The day came for the preschool costume parade. I had no idea what I was in for. Out of 70+ kids, my child was the only one having a meltdown. The wig was itchy and her red, sparkly shoes kept coming off. So we got a few pics of the wig and after the parade was over, she started having some fun. Spider cookies and games took her mind off it.

these awesome old trucks are sitting right behind the body shop in our very own neighborhood. i was a little scared to ask the big guy if I could shoot there, but he totally urged me to do it. i love that jaxon was, once again, a very willing subject. i really wanted some shots of him sitting in the truck, but there were parts to a refrigerator in there! dang it!

{isabella-boo, i love you}

just had to share these shots of izzy in the studio. don't you just love her to pieces? i do.

It was so great having Tom here for the fair this year. He flew in the night before since he was doing a wedding with me that weekend. My kids love him to death. Isabella thought it was pretty cool that Tom was playing hide-n-seek with them even before breakfast. Can you say favorite uncle??
We had a great day. The weather was perfect. The food was good. The company was perfect. Tom is such a great guy. He feels everything and takes it all in and helps you experience things in a different way.
Tom is the only one that takes pictures of me and my kids. I need to start bribing Sabe more....

{sick boy}

Poor little Jax missed 4 days of school this week with a high fever, cough, and sore throat. I stopped by my soon-to-be-studio (announcement coming!) to play with the light for a few minutes, and of course, he was the perfect model for me despite the way he felt. He is such a good kid. I never thought having a boy would be so wonderful. He still gives me random hugs & kisses and is such a sweet brother to Isabella. Love him!
he is doing so much better now and we definitely don't look forward to the makeup homework next week!
oh, and izzy posed for me too!
