Headline: Fall Photo Shoot a Success!

I am so excited! There is this weedy little area in front of our house (okay, there are several of them...) but this one gets really pretty every fall. Yesterday the sky was cloudy in just such a way to make all the fall colors really pop. I decided to try for a little photo shoot of the kids. I knew that the second I said "pictures" they would throw fits, so I just asked them if they'd help my wish come true. (Manipulation can work wonders, I've found.) Thus, pictures were successfully taken with only brief shedding of tears on Bitty's part after she accidentally let Bundle roll off her lap. Ooops. Bundle was fine, Bitty cried for a while. After a few hugs from Daddy we got snapping and I'm pretty thrilled with the results. I might actually get pictures printed and hang them on my wall, believe it or not!








And I have to throw in one of sad Bitty because it kind of melts my heart:

You need to be in those pictures. I hope you got a couple of you. Should we do knitting lessons on a Saturday and we can let the kids play?

Poor sweet Bitty. I love how she cried longer than Bundle. You and I and our stubborn tender-hearted 4-year-olds. Are you teaching Carrie to knit?

Cute, cute, cute!

Great photos. My kids don't cry about pictures, but I can't get them to actually look at the camera long enough for me to push the button. I am impressed with your successful photo shoot!

Wow maybe we'll have you shoot the Gardner Family photos next time we're in town! Those are great!

I see a career for you ... someday when you don't have so many little people demanding all of your attention. :)
