On Monday I loaded up costumes and took the kids to the Mall to attempt a Halloween costume photo. Photos with the kids have never gone very well for me, in fact I have left in tears several times. Yet, I continue to try. I'm not sure what that says about me..... anyway, so off we went. Costumes were on and the boys were in place, and then Lauren realized what was going on. She started screaming/crying and clinging to me like a baby monkey. She had noticed the carousel on our way in so I said, "Lauren if you are a good girl and smile nice, I'll take you on the carousel when we're done." She said, "Okay" and then I got the following photos of her. It is amazing how a promised elephant carousel ride can turn that girl's attitude right around. Hmmmm, Note to self. :)
Happy Halloween!
