Checking In (Photostory)

I shot these pictures over a week ago.  I almost didn't post them, but figured I would post it before moving on to another story.  

Angelica has arrived to the daycare and she's now checking Nina in.

"Shoot.  Why isn't the password working?  (pause) Duh.  Your mommy is losing her mind."  (Angelica)
Angelica realizes she is using her school computer password instead of Nina's password.

"Don't move.  Mommy is almost finished."  (Angelica)

"I'm sorry it took me so long."  (Angelica)
"It's okay.  I'm not really ready to leave them just yet."  (mother)
"Wow, you have twins.  Is this their first time here?"  (Angelica)

"Oh, no.  They've been here a few times."  (mother)

"They are so cute.  I can't even imagine what having two at the same time would be like."  (Angelica)

Just then, Cassandra enters the lobby.

"I thought I heard voices out here.  Hello ladies."  (Cassandra)
"We were just making our way in."  (Angelica)
"Oh, I'll take her for you.  Did you already sign in?"  (Cassandra)

"Yes. We're all checked in."  (Angelica)
"Hello Nina.  Are we going to have a good day today?"  (Cassandra)
"Amanda, just bring the twins back when you're ready."  (Cassandra)
Angelica gives Nina a kiss goodbye and then heads to school.

Back in the room, Daphne is keeping an eye on everyone.

"Daphne, I'm going to have you take the infants and a few of the toddlers to the other room.  Amanda is here with the twins, and I suspect there are a couple more kids coming."  (Cassandra)

"I'm going to go call Faith to see if she can come in today, since Samantha called in sick."  (Cassandra)

"So what's wrong with Sam?"  (Daphne)
"She has another one of those migraines.  Kurt will be dropping the baby off.  I'm hoping she will be better by tomorrow.  I may have to hire another part-timer to make sure I'm not left in a bind so often."  (Cassandra)

Hope Cassandra gets things straightened out.  The last thing she needs is the health inspector stopping by and seeing she doesn't have the correct teacher - student ratio.

  3. Definitely know how terrible it feels to be over ratio for even a short amount of time. Hopefully they get all the extra help they need.

    1. Alura - lol. I imagine that is a scary position to be in. The last thing Cassandra wants is trouble with the inspector.

  9. Thanks for posting the story. I enjoy seeing your dolls and their accessories and seeing the characters in action. Good thinking, Cassandra, regarding the extra help. Hope no inspector drops by before Faith gets there.

    Faith to the rescue ... ha, ha, I could not resist ;-)

    1. Tracy - Thanks. Part of my goal in 2014 is to show a lot more of the accessories that are just here gathering dust. There are lots of things that I have completely forgotten about.

  11. Ditto to all of the above comments. I love love the kids! Cassandra has her hands filled and definitely needs to hire a couple more part timers. I have a few girls (dolls) looking for a job. Divas who will work for shoes. Lol! Nice photostory Vanessa! I'm glad you posted the pics.

    1. Georgia Girl - I guess my trademark is the kids. I can't seem to get enough of them. So why fight it. Lol about working for shoes. I think the residents here will be a little miffed if we outsource our jobs.

  12. D7ana - I hear the inspector has the nickname, Muff, and I hear she don't play.

    I love that saying...Faith to the rescue.

  13. Boy, the day care center's busy! Perhaps Cassandra should hire two more part timers to help out. I really like Angelica's jean outfit. Is it from a set or did you make it? :-)

    1. Cindi - Are you surprised, with all the kids we have in town? Angelica's outfit was purchased on ebay over a year ago.

  14. OOHhhweeee, that daycare is busy. How does she do it? My hat does go off to you and your kids. I really have to have patience when I want to photograph them. So far Dotsville has enough kids.

    1. Brini - Cassandra loves the kids, so she enjoys her job, even the challenging aspects. That is too funny that you say you need patience to photograph them. Are they trying to move about when you are taking their pictures? lol.

  18. *shines my inspector badge and starts counting kids heads* I swear, I'm so anal that I literally did try to count how many kids were in the room, lol.

    I cant tell because she's only seen from the side, but is Daphne a SIS Cassandra?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Muff - lol. You are so silly. Don't fret. Cassandra is handling her business. Daphne is a $5 clone. She is listed on the character page as part of the daycare staff.
