Holiday

I’m finally starting to feel more energetic these days. And by energetic I mean I don’t feel like I could shut my eyes and fall immediately to sleep every second of every day!

So, I told the kids today that all mom’s like to have nice pictures of their kids…not sure why, we just do…so we were going to go out and attempt it and it would be a super amazing gift to me if they would cooperate. They did surprisingly well with that pep-talk, and we had a good time and got some decent photos too!

I realize dressing up four kids and taking them out in public to take pictures…by myself…is a little crazy. And by a little, I mean a LOT! But, I never claimed I wasn’t crazy 🙂 And who knows…maybe I’ll be even more crazy and actually get out Christmas cards this year! But I’m kinda exhausted…so I’ll think about that another day.

Here are some outtakes from our photo shoot…but I think they may actually be my favorites 🙂

This one was my fault…I asked them if they were excited for Christmas. Apparently that’s code for jumping.

Took this one and then told her it was time for one showing her teeth!

She looks too old in this pic!

Attempting his tough guy look…but he couldn’t stop smiling 🙂

She’s all like “Look Mom, isn’t this funny!” and I’m all like “Ummm, yea it is! Let me take a picture and then for pete sake, fix your eyes cause I’ve paid good money to keep them straight!”
