The things we do for a picture.

May parents came over one night last week to see the kids, this is a pretty normal occurrence.  My mom bought the kids new pajamas, again, a normal occurrence.  But on this particular night, she wanted a picture of all 4 kids in their new pajamas.  This is not a normal occurrence.  Not because we don't love Mimi, or the pj's she got us, but because getting all 4 kids to sit still is very difficult.

If you have any number of kids, I am sure you can relate.

Hey Kids!  Say cheese!

Oops!  Caroline's crying.  She wants the cell phone.  Shocker.  

Just give it to her.

Fine.

Shoot!  Now Carleigh's crying because she wants a cell phone.  And Caroline's still crying because her phone's screen is locked.

Carson is smiling.

Cami is thinking "who ARE these people?!"

Ok, forget the twins.  Quick!  Get a picture of Carson, he's smiling very sweetly!

Oh Caroline, give it up.  Your obsession with cell phones is too much drama for all of us.

Hey!  Everyone look over here!

Carson, grab Cami, she's falling over!

Ok, now everyone just try to look happy!  Cami, over here baby!

Hey mom, throw in that obnoxious festive singing Halloween tree.  The girls will love that!

Um, not so much.

Back to Carson.  Oh look!  He's smiling again so sweetly and holding Cami!

Yeah, that's it, let's just focus on the one child that is actually obeying!

Carleigh decides she wants in on the action.

Carson yells at her No Carleigh!  This is my baby!

Carleigh beings to cry.

Caroline is still obsessed with the cell phone.  Seriously, sister, let it go.

So what do you think, Mimi?

Is a picture worth all of that drama?

{my guess is that her answer would be yes}
