Picture Day

Oct 24 - This morning we hurried up, got dressed and ready and packed into the van because today was picture day. We drove in the van and picked up David and Ms. Nicole. I let David use one of my carseats and he really liked the froggy toy I have attached to it. We drove for a long time but I was good because Mommy was sitting next to me. I just watched her talk and laugh. We have been driving for a while and I started to doze off but we pulled up to Nathan and Ms. Theresa's house.

They had a nice display out on the front lawn of hay, flowers, and pumpkins. Nathan was in his first Halloween costume taking pictures already. He was dressed as a pirate. David and I went inside and got changed into our costumes; he was a monkey and I was an elephant. When we came outside Nathan had been changed into his second costume; he was a giraffe. We each got individual pictures taken and then we took pictures of all three of us together. Everyone was yelling and cheering so that we would look up at the camera and stop playing with the grass. I hope they got some good pictures because it was difficult to look up with the sun in our eyes. During pictures of the three of us I decided I wanted to play with David so I started to tackle him. Big elephant climbing on little monkey. He was ok and everyone thought it was funny.

After the costume pictures, Mommy and Daddy and I took a family photo. I was much happier for those pics. After all the pictures were taken we said goodbye to Nathan and Ms. Theresa and hopped back in the van. I was tired but I stayed awake til we got to McDonalds. We all went inside and ordered because Daddy wasn't sure the van would make the drive-thru. Then it was back in the van and I finally gave up and went to sleep. I didn't even get to say good bye to Ms. Nicole and David.

When I woke up Mommy and Daddy had already eaten, gotten everything out of the van and were just waiting on me to wake up. It was actually nice waking up in the van because I got to look out of the window and watch the trees sway in the wind. I sat there for a while before I even noticed Mommy and Daddy watching me.

We came inside and ate, watched football, and just hung out the rest of the evening. It was getting later and I was getting sleepy but I was fighting it. After some squirming and crying Mommy and Daddy said good night to me and left me in my crib. I wasn't happy but eventually conceded.
