the reality of my children


the fact of that matter is they are reeeeaaallly hard to take a picture of.
i snap hundreds, urging them nearly to the point of torture to just "sit still and look at the camera". i don't even really need a smile... just a glance in my general direction will suffice.
but no, no...
instead i get silly tongues, crazy faces, alligator tears, and sister cat fights.

usually i rummage through all that mess, find at least one somewhat decent shot to show off to you and lead you all to believe i've got it together.. that my kids are precious, adorable, and obedient.

but it being christmas and all,
i suppose the gig is up
(at least this time)

so without further ado,
here are the tootsies
all decked out in there christmas fancies,
being every bit as adorable and wicked as they look...

*sigh*....





happy christmas

:)
