Now, I can understand Sophie looking away, but what on earth are the other two looking at?!?
We let the kids carve all by themselves. They loved it, but they wouldn't look at the camera. Too focused on what they were doing.
There is a lot of posing going on in this shot, and I will say it was pretty dark. This is probably the most direct of the Halloween shots I got. Jack carved his pumpkin to look like a Clone Trooper, you can see it once you know what you are looking for. He did a great job. Bella just wanted a scary face with cheeks. And I did carve Sophie's ghost, we aren't so foolish and lazy to let her have at it yet. Maybe next year.
Here is the best shot pre-trick or treating. It was the first Halloween in my memory of living here that it wasn't snowing or freezing. In fact, no coats required, and I couldn't even bear to bundle Sophie in her ladybug too much. And she wouldn't wear the hood No. Matter. What. But still in this picture, none of them would focus on the camera. Jack and Bella were too excited about their impending sugar rush.
So, today we went down to BYU to wander through the bookstore and be nostalgic for a little while. I made the kids sit down together in some lovely fall scenes and still, in every shot they refused to look at the camera! My best guess is that they were looking at Nate trying to make Sophie smile. And Sophie pulled the rubber band out of her hair causing that jaunty style.
So after a long crazy week of last minute sewing(Bella), volunteering for class parties(Jack) and having a nasty 48 hour cold, I settled down to have a hard earned mug of ice cream. As I flopped the lid on to the table, I noticed someone looking right at me, finally, so I took a picture. Even smiling, lovely.
Do you think this means snow soon?

Rick & Becky leaving on Sunday morning but we won't see them before they go. We had a nice little visit, they were very busy site seeing.
I love the kids costumes this year, you did a fantastic job!
Looks like you guys had a fun week. I was confused about the lack of horrible weather for Halloween too lol. It is uaully so cold. I laughed so much at the ice cream lid.
sounds like a fun-filled week. We always walk around BYU when we visit down there. It's fun to reminice (I know the spelling of that is wrong).
What cute little gobblins! So wish i could have been there with you. Grandpa goo even carved a pumpkin. Need to go walk the puppies, will talk to you later. Love the Goo's
Too bad the face in the ice cream wasn't the virgin Mary. If it had you'd have a line of people out your door this very minute! Your kids are adorable. What a great holiday!
That ice cream pic is hilarious! Maybe you can sell it on eBay. :)
I thought I had commented about the cute jack-o-lanterns but I guess I didn't. Very cute and well done by some sweet angels. Grandma misses them very much.
okay I need to get serious with everyone's blog. I didn't know they were so cool. Now I have officially looked at you guys' blog. I haven't even read my scriptures today so there is no way I could possibly actually read the blog. I'm thinking of blogging worldborn since the website sucks it big time.
peace lie still, "miskins"
Oh, my goodness, I laughed SO HARD at the ice cream lid. What are the odds of that?! Funny. Jack's clone trooper (why aren't they storm troopers anymore?) jack-o-lantern was good. I could see it.
