Claire had a rough day. In the morning life was great. We played, read, danced and colored. Then came 11:30 am. Why is it on the days I need Claire to stay on schedule with naps and meals she never does?!
(good things listed in italics)
No lunch, well, if you count 12 puffs and 2 grapes as lunch...
No nap, we tried 3 times.
Two poopy diapers.
Disgruntled costume fitting (see photo above).
Scared at the photography store (a man dressed as Mario from Super Mario Bros. tried to talk to her).
Long car ride to dad's work.
A crash and burn in the hallway of dad's work. Big crocodile tears even though she was clearly dressed up as an elephant.
A bunch of people telling her how cute she was. She scowled at them the whole time.
Ate a whole fun sized package of M&M's in Pat's office. Chocolate all over her costume.
A longer car ride to take family photos in Lehi.
Cloudy, rainy skies.
Finally fell asleep. For 11 minutes.
Family photos. (She was not happy at all, hopefully we got some good ones! Thanks Kate, for everything, especially your patience!)
Even a longer car ride back to Bountiful.
Three pieces of chicken and a bite of banana for dinner. Awesome.
Drank a bottle and finally dozed off, but awakened three times by the doorbell and trick-or-treaters. Sigh.
To say the least, it was a trying day. But, I still love you sweet Claire!

Do you have a date you need them by? I sure hope we got at least a couple! But even if we did, I'm excited to do another shoot in the spring. Thanks for dealing with the lens, you have no idea what a help that was to me. I owe you $$. Ok, I'll stop this long email. Painting should be mostly completed today, then I'm going to dive into your pics!
