Special treat

Alley and Clair got a special treat on hallowene a can of soda.

School costume party

Claire was a Pumpkim Princess this year. Despite her not looking to happy here ( she doesn't like her picture taken) - she liked to twirl around in her pretty skirt.

She is sporting her new tatoos from the party and decided to put a scary bear paw on to harden her princess image.

She still likes to dress up at home too in "mommy shoes".

Balloon girls

Claire, the future mad scientist, trying to blow up their balloon big
enough to have Alley float off for real.

First professional haircut

Claire was overdue for a haircut. We had hoped to grow it out-but her
hair grows so slowly and she won't keep a barrett in for more than a
minute. She did well - didn't complain at all.

Saving money is hard

Grandpa Alley gave Claire and Alley bank that counts the money for
them.. They are saving "to go to the airport".

Garbage day

Claire helped dad and Alley bring in the recycling.
