Say Cheese: Take 227…

I never realized what a task it is for a mom to take a decent picture with her 2 kids. Now I know why there are no pictures of me with the boys. It just takes too much work. Wow, you would have thought we were shooting for Cosmo with all the shots we were taking. Here’s a peek…and these are the “good” ones!

If only I could get Bronson to look…

“Why does Morris look fuzzy?”

“Morris looks like he’s disappearing Mommy.”

“Wait a minute, now what’s happening to ME?”

“Isn’t this a great time to sing ‘You’re a Jerk’.”

“Seriously mom, we’d rather be playing Princess than taking pictures.”

“Look at that cool sticker on brother’s shirt. It says 1:30PM.”

“Look over there brother…it’s Spiderman.”

“I’m throwing up my peace sign for my homies.”

“I know, get a shot of my hair.”

“Traditional poses suck…get a picture of my butt!”

“Oh wait, let me see if my penis is still down there.”

“Maybe it’s over here, and who stuffed a watermelon in mommy’s shirt?”

“MOM! Your boob is blocking the flash. Let me shield it with my head.”

“Wait a minute, what did you say?…We get a popsicle if we take a nice picture?.”

“This is as good as it’s gonna get. Can we have a popsicle now?”

ROFL….I am reading this for the second time because I didn’t realize there were MORE pictures.
Click “Read More” …..That is so funny. The important thing is that you’re smiling in every pic. That’s what Hot Mamas do right?
Oh yeah, you have to click on “read more” to see the entire story. I just couldn’t fit all those pix on the front page.
I probably look like I have that “Botox” face because I don’t think I moved. I just plastered a smile and figured the kids would too at one point.
I kept looking at pictures over and over. Very photogenic family. Thanks for sharing. Wish we could have a “three generation” pictures made with you.
Glad you like the pix mom. We’ll take more when you come for a visit.
It is so true that it is nearly impossible to get a great picture WITH the kids. This was too funny. I love your evidence.
must be a professional….
i am always the one taking the photos in our family and therefor am never in any. i feel like my kids will grow up and be like, “where were you on all our family trips?” every once and a while i get lucy to take a picture of me just to prove that i was around!
also, to get cute photos of the kids, i’m not above photoshopping. my mother-in-law tried to get a photo with her six grandchildren and ending up photoshopping out her own head with her head from a different photo because by the time they got one with all the kids smiling, she was too worn out to smile!
Kita, I’m impressed you know how to use photoshop. That is on my bucket list.After taking the pix for my site, I realized the amazing power (and magic) of photoshop.
