The last stop on our trip last week was our old stomping ground, St Louis. We have great friends we met there and many friends who have moved there since. Such a shame we weren't there together. My cousin, Melissa, moved in shortly after we left, and we met up with her in St Charles so the kids could load up on ice cream and run in circles. :)
I love this area and it was fun to visit the little shops I've been missing. Goldilocks and Bella Ballerina obviously had a great time getting to know Hermione (she's so cute!) Melissa was getting some pictures and asked her to cast a spell, and Chloe paused then sweetly said something fancy, like "Wingardium Leviosa". ok, ok, i totally had to google that. i know very little about ol' potter.
I was so excited about Hayden being Goldilocks. It is her favorite story and, really, she IS Goldilocks. I wanted to get pictures of her in all her curly, goldy, locky glory. No such luck. She's hard to catch these days. And Abbey wasn't giving me much either:
For a while she wanted to be Miss Mary Mack. I've been teaching her the hand clapping and rhymes and she LOVES Miss Mary Mack. I was so excited about that idea...all dressed in black, silver buttons up her back. And Hayden would be the elephant! Then she changed and insisted on 'ballerina'. Hmph. She did look really cute though despite showing me no camera love.
But wait...then she thought about it. A chance to show off her moves? She lives to show off her moves!
Ha! She's never taken a dance class (as evidenced by the funky chicken move) in her life so when she pulled that pose, I was delighted. What a ham.

Will they ever stop melting my heart? I submit that they will not. I love the Goldilocks costume, and that sweet little Ballerina's got skills :).
love the costumes. such cute girlies. oh how i wish we could get ours together.
miss ballerina has got some moves! love her little bum cheek in the big shot. ;)
They book looked beautiful and Abby def has some good moves. Lydia loves the book 'Pinkalicious' I wasn't quite sure how to pull that off...maybe next year. Fun to go visit old friends. Bet they loved having you around. Miss ya!
I was blown away by Abby's moves. They were pretty sweet. Jeff and I both thought she was going to lose that scoop of ice cream hanging on for dear life while she busted a move. So, so cute! Chloe was happy to make an appearance on your blog today. :)
I love the funky chicken dance pictures! Hilarious:)
In love with the funky chicken and the sweet little goldilocks. That is such a creative costume. Seriously, that's the hard part about halloween for me...the creativity. Your kids are darlings!!
Seriously? She's never taken a dance class...I just don't believe it. :) Hayden IS the perfect Goldilocks and how fun is that gazebo! I'm lovin' the sugar and costumes.
your girls are beautiful! Love the pictures.
