I have loved "picture day" since I was a wee one in school.  I would go through my closet and find just the right outfit.  I did the same with Max and Sophie. 

I woke Sophie up early this morning because "curly girls" need to wash their hair in the morning if they want beautiful soft curls.  She hung her head over the bathtub and let me condition the curls into obedience.  I was helping Sophie with her outift when Max came into her room (dressed to the nines) and said "Sophie, you look beautiful".  Sophie replied "you look handsome too Max".  All I could think of was my brother and him never thinking of such a thing.....beautiful.....come on.  He was too busy harrassing me the way most brothers do.

Anyway, I have included some pictures of my little darlings.  Mind you, Max fell two days ago and has a scar on his top lip (looks like a little moustache), and Sophie has lost one of her front teeth and there is one left that is hanging by a thread.  It looks like one big fang in the front of her mouth.  She will look perfect for Halloween if it "hangs on" that long.
