The Once-a-Year Photo
Once a year, I want a picture with my kids. Just once. Just with the kids. On Mother’s Day, when we’re all dressed up for church and looking pretty, I always ask Chris to take just one picture of me with the kiddos.
Following is what happened after I made that request this year:
Okay, here we go…
No, wait. Bean has powdered doughnut all over his face.
Okay, let’s try again without any doughnuts in the picture.
Gracie really wanted her doughnut.
Bean sees a lizard. And he has managed to get his doughnut back.
And now we’ve lost Bean to the lizard hunt.
So, for the third year in a row, I have a beautiful Mother’s Day picture…
…with my husband.

Ha ha ha ha! This is awesome. Hey, at least your husband was willing to sit around for a few minutes attempting to take a picture for you. My husband whined and complained about it until I told him he could just take it with a cell phone. And even then he took one quick one and walked away. I took a better one myself (a “selfie”) than he did. Pshhh…boys.

I guess the picture with your husband is most appropriate since he did help you become a mother:)

haha this is so funny and so true. I have the same problem with Sullivan. Toddlers.
Great pic of you and Chris though 🙂

ha! I just posted a Facebook status that said, “goal for Mother’s day 2014: take a picture with my children” I have YET to remember to grab my camera, hand it to my husband and take a picture…. and I’m a freaking photographer!!!

Hahaha. I just realized I have no decent pictures of my almost-2-year-old anymore. One moving target is hard enough!
