I sent them in the bathroom to wash their hands. I found them making faces. (Don’t mind the color cast, hot spots, or weird angles/limb chops. I just wanted to capture the moment before they stopped doing it.)

Day 318, Part 1: Faces in the mirror
Day 317: No photo
I think no photo. My camera labeled the photos as taking a photo on this day, but I know those photos belong to the next day. Oh well!
Day 316: Helping with dishes
They’ve turned into little helpers and I can actually put them to work with chores – and they don’t complain! Cooper loves our extendable faucet head but I don’t much care for cleaning it when he’s done doing the dishes.
Day 313: No picture
I missed a picture. My week started out a little rough at work and I’m getting bored with taking photos.
Day 312: Two Left Shoes
Apparently I was very tired on a bright and early Monday morning. I wear comfy shoes since I do so much walking to and from the train. I then throw a pair of work shoes in a bag to put on when I get to work. This is the first time I put two left shoes in my bag.

Day 311, Part 4: Trick or Treating!
Finally I am getting to actual trick or treating! This year was so, so much fun! It’s this kind of stuff that makes parenting so worth it.
Cooper completely changed his mind for his costume, which was super cute because he was really choosing something he wanted, rather than copying Charlotte. First he decided to try out Charlotte’s pink monster costume. He thought it was so silly. He finally decided to be the dragon and LOVED it!
Right before they left. I only got 2 photos off before they ran away.
They were so, so cute this year. They would walk up to house and say ‘cool house!’, then say ‘tick or tweet, moe tandy peeze’. Then they would say ‘tank you, night, night!’. It was adorable. I was so glad my dad and mother-in-law got to join in the fun.
Since is was almost bedtime we limited the candy to 2 pieces a kid. They enjoyed it, but were pooped after walking over 2 blocks for trick or treating.
Day 311, Part 3: Hanging out with Gigi
I love this picture of Charlotte with Gigi. The grandparents came over on Halloween to go trick or treating. (I also love that you can see quite a bit of our house from this photo. On the other side of the stair case is the formal dining room, aka the playroom in our house).
Day 311, Part 2: Throwing rocks in snow boots
I bought the kids all their winter gear. The LOVE their snow boots, even if there isn’t any snow. They also love throwing rocks in the grass, which my husband doesn’t love. This photo makes me wish I owned a longer focal length…maybe for Christmas??
Day 311, Part 1: Good little daddy
Cooper has fallen in love with this baby doll. He often carries her around and she must sleep with him. He even tucks her into bed. He brought a blanket to me and asked me to wrap up his baby. Then he proceeded to sit on the couch and feed her. He’s such a great little daddy to his baby dolls.

Ryan’s 2 year photos
I did a favor for a friend and took photos of her daughter Ryan since she turned 2! It was a lot of fun and I feel like it’s getting easier to step outside of my comfort zone and photograph someone else’s child. Ryan is a little ham and loves the camera. I can’t get enough of her eyes! Here are some samples and then the rest are in the photo montage.
And I love this one of my friend! She is so beautiful and due with her second baby girl in January!

Day 310: First Ice-Cream Sandwiches
Terrible lighting, terrible composition, but I loved watching them enjoy their ice cream sandwiches!

Day 309: Sleeping on a bench
I have no idea why fake sleeping on this bench is so popular in my household, but I still find it oh, so cute!
Day 308: Under the blanket
Our dog, Scout, has always loved blankets since she was an itty bitty puppy. She especially loves to sleep under them. She has her own blanket on our bed and has to be ‘tucked in’ at night, otherwise she crawls under our blankets and sleeps in the small of our backs.
Day 305: Surprise for Scout
I have no idea what was going on, but Cooper kept popping out of the cupboard and Scout kept going straight for his hand. He thought it was so funny.
Day 304: Costume Party
My dad invited us to a neighbors’ kids’ costume party. There was a reptile guy there and a bounce house. Charlotte and Cooper had so much fun.
Cooper slept on they way over because he didn’t want to take a nap before we left.
They loved the little spider web maze.
And I hate snakes, so this was a challenge for me to get down and get close enough (I had my 35 mm on my camera) without freaking out.
Day 303: Pumpkin Carving
The kids understood pumpkin carving this year. It was so cute to see how excited they were. My dad came over to help and he seemed to enjoy carving pumpkins as well (I don’t think he’s carved pumpkins since me and my siblings were kids!).
I have to admit that I really wasn’t in the mood to take any photos, so I feel like these are just quick snapshots. The color is all over the place because of the competing light sources…I gave up on consistency with these ones and just accepted that I was glad I caught the moment.
I love the look on Charlotte’s face looking at my dad helping her.
Cooper kept taste testing the pumpkins. I’m beginning to wonder if he will ever grow out of ‘mouthing’ everything!
Charlotte tried blowing the candle out inside the pumpkin.
Then I had grand plans of taking some photos of my dad and the kids outside on the porch. Yeah, that didn’t work so well because they were a little wound up.
This was after pumpkin carving—which was obviously a bit exhausting. They never sit this close to each other and I love the way Cooper is sitting. Notice his outfit? Yep, 3 shirts. A long sleeve green shirt, a green polo, and then the striped green/blue/gray shirt. Plus shorts. Go figure.
