Christmas Pictures? Yeah, Right!

What a horrible, horrible photo session! All I wanted was a picture of them in their Christmas outfits for the Grandmas. I don't think it's happening. The thought of trying to do it again makes me want to knock my head on the wall. And to top it off, my over-used camera has been going downhill lately and now my pictures are turning out blurry. I think that's just an excuse to get a new one.

Anyway, here is how a photo session at my house goes:

I put them down next to each other, but Evan immediately tries to flip over the side of the chair. I can't put them on the floor, though, or they will just crawl away. So, I finally get him sitting, but he's upset so he slouches and is all depressed looking. During that fiasco, Amelia has taken off her shoes, so I get them back on, but then Evan has his shoes and one sock off. I say "forget the shoes" and just start snapping pictures. But now Amelia wants nothing to do with this so she is trying launch off the couch toward me screaming. I put her back, but now they are both writhing around. The only way they are happy is if I let them turn around and look over the chair. I say forget it and try to get pics of them separately on the floor, but they will not look at me and will only eat shoes.

Here is proof!
