School Picture Day & Two Year Olds Reunite

Gerrit and Aleah had their school pictures today-Gerrit again choose the green background-I think he has done this for at least the last four or five years-green is his favorite color. Aleah went with blue and Donovan is going with blue also-his picture day is tomorrow. Of course it was rainy this morning so I'm not sure what Aleah's hair will look like in the pictures.

After gymnastics this morning we went to Barb's and had a nice visit with Karen. The girls got along for the most part. The picture taking session was funny. We all had our cameras for the first time). We have a picture of the girls (this is the third time we've done this) from every summer-okay it is technically fall now but at least we got it done. We usually sit them down from left to right Samantha, Grace, and Sydney but for some reason we switched Grace and Sydney around, took a few pictures, then tried to switch the order-not a good idea-they freaked out a little and we got some pictures with crying and rubbing eyes. It's amazing how much they grow each year.

We had Adventure Club and Bible study tonight and then I tried to get some Girl Scout stuff organized. I almost wish we didn't have such a big group-I hope no more girls join!

Here is the good picture before attempting to switch the order to match older photos. Left to right: Samantha, Sydney, and Grace.

The first photo after the switch. Grace is definitely not happy and we think Samantha is either putting on a fake smile or getting ready to cry. Sydney is a cool cucumber.

Samantha is definitely crying here and Sydney is wondering what the fuss is about.

Samantha is in full cry mode, Grace is wiping tears, and Sydney is starting to feel their pain.

Now Samantha and Grace are coming around, but Sydney thinks it might be her turn.
