Short on story, long on photos

I’m far behind on sharing these days and in order to catch up I figure I can get the equivalent of thousands of words with the following pictures.

Some explication may ensue.

Let’s begin with Halloween shall we?
Some of you have seen these pictures but in the interest of market saturation; observe.

TheWeeOne went for a sweet look.
Mermaid Shortcake

While LaGrande went for something a little…darker.
Mermaid Twilight
If you know the Twilight Series, you may see the resemblance she was shooting for – namely Dakota Fanning’s character Jane. If you don’t know that series – I supply you with a Picture-in-Picture comparison right here.

Ahhh, back to my sweet daughter.
Mermaid Dreaming

Yikes!
Mermaid Vamping

Moving on to LaGrande’s birthday party a few days later – this is the cake that TheFrostingAngel made.
Butterfly Birthday Cake

Pardon me while I apologize to my future self for all of the faddish images with the blurry borders – they’re presets and right now they look pretty cool.

Sorry future self, I hope these pictures still look fine in five years.

Annnnnd, back to our show…on that birthday night 10 girls stayed the night and north of 15 friends attended the evening festivities. Suffice it to say, that’s a whole lot of pre-teen. ’nuff said.
Partayyyyy

Now I’m more or less caught up to yesterday in The Mermaid Chronicles whereby TheMermaids and I took our annual jaunt to Seattle to see Santa and this time we coupled the trip with a play at The 5th Avenue Theater…
Family of Mermaids

…to see another princess.

TheMermaids look like they come by all this culture quite naturally.

And finally, another traditional ride on the Carousel.
Carousel - yet another cultural reference

The picture with Santa will have to wait for another day.

  2. La Grande may be after you in a couple of years for the “doctored-up” eyes! But oh, how scarey!!

    ‘Course, you don’t have to show these to her “certain” boy-friend — do you??

    Heh! heh!
