Glasses and her new haircut!

(Here are a few pictures of Katy's new haircut - in case you read her blog last week.)

As we headed to the glasses store for Katy,
I realized I had my camera in my purse.



I also noticed the stroller was not in the van...
so I am snapping away with a squirmy ClaireBelles in my arms.

You can see Jacob sitting on the ground reading.
Three little sisters are sitting on the floor beside him.
They were sooooo patient.


Having someone take your picture with the new glasses on and then looking at the picture with your old glasses (so you can see what you really look like) was really helpful if you can't see without your glasses on like Katy....


or Darren.

Now what Darren and I want to know is how they can sell us 2 pairs for $99...


but one pair would have cost us over $300.


The mark-up in there somewhere is so high,
that we come out feeling like we got a good deal?


But someone is making money on these glasses...somewhere.



So while Darren and I were pondering the money making aspects of mass production/ supply and demand, Katy was kind enough to have a turn running after the ClaireBelles.




"That big sister is really nice. She even let me put on some of these cutie things.
No one lets me touch their glasses at home!"

costumes

I know it's December, but humor me here... I showed ya'll photos of Career Day (which was conveniently placed around Halloween) but I never showed you the real costumes.




Spam is the official food product of Ignited.
So she decided to be a Spam dealer...
"Hey, You want some Spam?"



Claire is sitting on one of those over the door shoe holders (that we cut up a bit for Katy to wear like a vest) stacking up all the many varied flavors of Spam....
turkey spam, bacon spam, cheese spam, hickory spam...
amazingly, they all taste like Spam!




Jacob was the Masked Knight.
He loves to wear that cape... thanks Aunt Ceep.

Emily and Becca didn't care what they went as, they just wanted make-up and curly hair. So we chose princesses... because they get to wear all kinds of clothes in public, you know.



Amanda and Mrs. Cathy with her beautiful face painting.



ClaireBelles got to eat bag after bag after bag of popcorn that night.
Better than candy, I think.



Here's our good friends Heidi
(can't remember who she was...her and her sorry costume)



and Captain Will.




Daddy had a gig that night with an AC/DC cover band.
He played Bari Sax on It's a long way to the top.

A good night was had by all.
