September

Arabelle's second day of preschool.  Another outfit she put together herself.  Still hoping she will let me have a say in at least some of her outfits this year...

Can anyone guess what the monocle is?  Also it went freakishly well with her pirate PJs.

The band-aid phase was a rather annoying (and expensive) one.  She would find every tiny mark, freckle, etc on her skin and then freak out until it was covered by a band-aid.

We had just bought the Jake and the Neverland Pirates band-aids at the store and Charlotte was very excited about them.   I left her alone for a couple minutes while I made dinner, and I came back to find this...I was really amazed that she could open all those herself, let alone so expeditiously.

Poor Elsie

Arabelle wants to grow her bangs out.  I make her wear a hair clip when she goes to school/church, but it's driving me nuts, so not sure how long before the bangs are back.

Arabelle wanted me to post this picture.

Mermaid wearing a wig, talking on a cellphone and carrying a wand and a cherry purse?  Check.

They were so excited when Emery finally got her own mermaid costume!

She was hip before she knew what it meant to be hip.
