I attempted to take a "nice" holiday pic of my kids last night,
and JackMN came *thisclose* to ending up in a snowbank. :banghead:
I believe that those people who send perfect pictures of their children, dressed immaculately, all smiling, everyone looking at the camera, are in fact using wax dummies, because it is IMPOSSIBLE and maddening to get them to cooperate.

1. Like this?


I think that was right before or after the meltdown of my oldest and threats of violence and no presents FOREVER! Thank goodness for digital cameras. 1/1000 is useable.

2. Yes! That's great! How did you ever pull it off?
I could not understand why my kids didn't look happy; I kept yelling at them to smile!
:rofl:

4. And duct tape
You just can't see it. I also held all their favorite toys hostage behind the camera with a pair of gardening shears.

Hello Billy! :hug: How are you today?

6. Meh
You should probably just ignore most of my whining posts today. Not so great. x(

I need to get my mind off of my trip. Don't suppose you are up for the task? :evilgrin:

I know, just kidding. ;)
