The Once-a-Year Photo

Untitled

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.
