It's that time of year that I dread... Christmas card picture hell... time, picture TIME! My blood pressure rises, I start sweating like a whore in Sunday school and may or may not raise my voice.
The boys start whining about having to get dressed and their hair combed, I start the threats about taking their iTouch away. They are finally dressed and we are ready to start clicking away. Of course the "he's touching me's" start coming out, the feet and elbow "accidents" start happening and we just want them to all smile and look at the camera at the same time!
This year I thought it would be fun for the kids to have props for a Photo Booth shot. Fun? Did I say FUN? Yea right. They of course all wanted to use the same props... go figure!
Attempt One: We took over 200 pictures, the lighting was horrible, all pics were different in color and looked horrible!
Attempt Two: another fun day of getting kids dressed. Of course Seth decided to start crawling the night before so he did NOT want to sit still. 338 pics later, FAIL
Attempt Three: had the greatest idea when I was talking to Carlie asking her to come take pictures. I looked up and saw my "That's It, I'm Calling Santa" sign! I thought the kids could act any way they wanted and I could put the sign in the picture! SUCCESS. Thanks Carlie!
In case you are wondering... Those are real numbers too.
Signed:
One Beat down Momma!
