Annual Pumpkin Hat Photoshoot or "Kids in Knits"

I'd procrastinated long enough. I've been watching the weather forecast, and our temperatures are supposed to take a nose dive tomorrow so today was it.


We had a try-on session of last year's handknits, an emergency trip to the store for camera batteries, and a half-hour search for a missing sneaker. Armed with 6 rolls of film, 2 cameras, 3 pumpkin hats, and a comb, we trekked off to the park for our annual photoshoot of the kids in pumkin hats. (Also known as "torture Mommy".)
That's the Molly sweater from Junior Knits that still fits! And the Windmill sweater from Miss Bea's Colours that has a happy new owner!
Tiger sweater from 2 years ago still fits!
Individually, they're fine, but put them all together and that's where the torture comes in. Trying to get 3 kids to look at the camera at the same time, smile, and keep their hands off of each other.
It's a toss up between the one above and the one below. That's the best I got.




The normal shenanagins ensued....




One of my models took off....


If you want to compare them to last year's version, see it here.

Of the 104 photos I took (on the digital camera--that doesn't include the 5 rolls of film) this is my favorite. I think it's because I've been feeling like he is growing up so much, and here I captured him looking "little".
Goodbye lovely fall weather! We are sure going to miss you.
