Once a year we have a family picture. We didn't even have one last year because I was pregnant so my family picture on the wall is 2 years old. I don't think it's too much to ask to have my family dress up a touch and smile. They disagree. Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way. There are usually bribes involved. *exasperated sigh*
The first Saturday I tried to get them all together, such fits were thrown (by the older kids mind you) that I got so mad that I didn't even want to be in the same state with them. I left in a huff and drove around mad.
So we tried again a few weeks later. Despite my camera being on the wrong setting and a small amount of fits followed by bribery in the form of cupcakes from 25 Main, we managed this picture. There are a few things I don't love about it, too much sun on a few faces, but I believe it will do.
And now we have 364 days until I will threaten them to sit down and act like a happy family or else they are grounded for the rest of EVER! And I mean it. Don't make me come over there.
