YAY its picture day!!! That is what us moms say when its time to take pictures. We get excited because we are documenting our FAMILY! I swear every time the day for pictures come, moms forget how horrible they usually are! Especially with little children.
*Disclaimer* If your child never acts up and ALWAYS takes a fanfreakintabulous picture, you can go away now. You are not normal!
We did picture day on Saturday. Got us all dressed up so nice. Hey my 11 year old didn't fight me on washing his hair so I figured the day was set to be amazing. I thought too soon! Tava did NOT want to cooperate. She got super shy and wouldn't look at the camera. Go figure right? In the past she was great! It was her brother that would get the goofy smile. He would force it so much he looked like a mix of Mr. Bean and being constipated.
We finally figured out how to get her to want to take a picture. We told her to open her jacket and show them her pretty dress. Well when she did this she looked like she was flashing her "goods" to the world! Did we stop it? Did we have her do anything else? NOPE! We embraced her inner hoochie and let it go! (damn now that song is stuck in my head) That's right people, when your child doesn't do what you want them to do, have them behave like a flasher. Now I can tell my husband that if she ever does become a nude model that this was when it all started! When we go on Dr. Phil and Tava, I mean Cinnamon (because we all know she will have to change her name), will tell him about the one time her parents embraced her to "flash" the photographer. Yup, we will be THOSE parents! What's next? Our sons will become politicians!?!?! *GASP!*
We got some our pictures back and man does the photographer know how to hide all the bad ones and that is why we love them! Enjoy some of the "outtakes" from our family and others who kindly lent them to me.

| Yup! Addy didn't seem to "feel" this pose with Logan |
 |
| See mister P.M. was just having fun and miss K.M. seemed a tad annoyed! |
 |
| That moment when mister R.M. had an explosive diaper during photo time...Ummm didn't he get the memo it was picture day? |
 |
| I love how dad and big sis are trying to be oblivious to meltdown mister Carter is having...ya buddy I feel ya! |
 |
| MOM! How dare you make me dress like an angel...don't you know I'm a devil? |
 |
| Jude wants to know how its not fair to feed the dogs human food? |
 |

Even after all the fails of pictures, some we take just for amusement, we end up with an amazing end product! The ones we can send off to family and friends and make it look "perfect" and "easy".

School pics are my worst/favorite♡♡♡ first of all no I never got the flyer it's just not as exciting as jamba juice day and second they dressed themselves. And then it's picture time, clothes unmatching, hair frazzled, teeth prob not brushed and the photographer says "one, two, three". But, does he take the picture on two, between two and three, while saying three, after three. Nope! Noone knows, and it doesn't matter
ReplyDeleteBecause he is not going to give you a second shot. He does this every day all day and he's quite sick of kids asking to take it again
.. and quite frankly if he had a little more patience, which he never does, maybe he could get a good shot the first time. But his theory is the parents are going to buy them anyway. So you end up with the talking picture, probably questioning if the picture is going to be taken on two three or in between. Or you have a crooked face, crosseyed look or maybe the full lips shut tucked in muppet smile... either way the pic 99.9% of the time is horrible and you don't particularly wanna share it. -amber k
Hilarious cute pics though
