Brush brush brush your teeth

 

Brush 'em real good!

 

Storyteller

Bianca was just wrapping up telling a story about the dogs helping themselves to a bag of popcorn we had... several months ago. This kid doesn't forget a thing. *frightening* 

Goodnight Monkeys!

The kids *finally* in their beds. Time for lights out. Oh, did I mention they wanted to listen to the Christmas music CD tonight for their lullaby music? Yeah... don't ask. I tried to dissuade them, but some battles aren't worth fighting. 

Ivan's School Valentine Party - February 14th, 2006

The following batch of photos were taken today at Ivan's school party.

Ivan's Kindergarten Class

Happy Valentine's Day to My Sweet Ivan

 

"Show me your flowers"

The PTA did a flower delivery fundraiser, so I sent Ivan 2 carnations to be delivered to his classroom. This is what I got when I asked him to hold up his flowers to show me. Maybe we can try again... (see next photo)

Is this better?

Somehow I'm not sure this is better. 

The Chocolate Monster attacks her prey

Muahahahahaha! The Chocolate Monster goes in for the kill!

So much for posing. Just sit there and I'll shoot at you.

 

The calm before the storm...!

 

Ivan's Best Friend

This is Ivan's buddy, Bo. As you can see, he's quite energetic. Allllll of the time. 

Bianca was enjoying the toys at Ivan's school

 

My attempt to get both kids in one picture: Take 1.

Gosh. What can I say? It needs a little work. We can work with this. I'll just have to shoot a few more tries and see if we can get something good out of this... 

My attempt to get both kids in one picture: Take 2.

Pssst! Hey guys... can I get you both looking at the camera at the same time?! 

My attempt to get both kids in one picture: Take 5.

Great! I got them both LOOKING at me, now if we can work on the expressions. Maybe? Please? 

My attempt to get both kids in one photo: Take 9.

Oh well. Nevermind. I give up!

Blah. And nevermind the fact that Bianca is out of focus in this tight depth of field. Blahblah, hey, I was working with no flash here indoors with flourescent lights. I think I did pretty darn well despite all that.

Who knows what this was about, but it's funny. :-)

 

Ivan's V-day artwork

 

Alright, the party's over. Line up and go home.

Single file, well, except for you and your boyfriend Alex...

The kindergarteners heading down the hall to stand around and wait for 2:50 to roll around to get let out of the school. The little girl, Alex, at the back of the line was holding hands with Bo (Ivan's best friend). Seems she has a flavor of the week, and sometimes flavor of the day. On the day we went on the pumpkin patch field trip I had photos of her holding hands with 3 or 4 different boys. Oh my, they start young!

Flavor of the week?

 

Kinda sweet, it just doens't look like her.

 

Being silly

We were all getting pretty bored waiting for the office ladies to open the door to let us out. "But it's not 2:50 yet!"
