Halloween Party

Tonight we dressed Piper up in her Halloween costume and headed over to our neighborhood community center for her first ever Halloween Party.
She played games, she danced, she won prizes, she ate pizza and she did not want to leave. 
I have to say I'm pretty sure she had a fun time at her first Halloween party.

Jackie - Roosevelt Senior Class of 2012

I was fortunate to meet up with Jackie 3 different times to do 3 different mini shoots. If I could do every senior shoot this way I would. We were able to meet up in the evenings when the sun was at its best. We were also able to meet up at three different locations which was fun for both of us. Here are a few of my favorites.

Rocks

I still haven't figured out why Piper has such a fascination with rocks. I do have to say they are our go to activity when we are starting to feel cooped up in the house. I better get a big bucket of rocks to bring into the house before the snow starts to fly.

Paper Pumpkins

Back a few years ago when I started working at a community center in Portland I was shocked to find out that there was such a thing as toddler art classes. After teaching a few toddler art classes myself I realized how awesome doing arts and craft projects with kids 1- 3 years old can be.

We've recently started doing little art projects with Piper and she loves them. The other night we decided to make some little paper jack-o-lanterns with her. She's been obsessed with the five little pumpkins song pretty much her whole life so this project was right up her alley. Josh and I cut out the pieces for her and helped her glue them on the pumpkins. We also let her paint a little but she really liked the gluing part.

Now we have some more cute little Halloween decorations thanks to Piper.

I Heart Hands

When I saw this weeks I heart faces challenge I thought of this photo right away. This was Piper's first time using sidewalk chalk. It has now become one of her favorite outside activities. I love those little hands and the dimples in her knuckles. 
Make sure to check out all the other hand photos at I Heart Faces this week.
