WHEW.... FINALLY A CHRISTMAS PICTURE
lets seee..... it went like this
TRY TRY TRY:
well i tried and tried and tried to get the kids to sit together for a holiday pic. Emily clearly stated "I dont want to touch Ayden" and ayden whines and tries to run away...
TRY TRY AGAIN:
repeated pictures or blurs and ducking head and pouty lips...
BRIBE:
begin feeding reese pieces candys (from our potty treats supply, for when they sit on the potty and do a little pee pee, its kinda working a little) giving them a candy for every smile ... usually one of Emily smiling isnt as hard as Ayden, or just to get them to sit still a while longer... oh no... not long enuf. a pic of emily smiling... and ayden ducking for cover...
ENTERTAIN:
with fake fart noises and tickles and pulling out all the stops i still get NO pics of them good enuf for ANYTHING
RETRIEVE:
get ayden from the playroom to try again. get ayden from the hall... the living room... behind the couch... umm where did he NOT run off to
GET STRESSED:
and take pics of Emily by herself while Ayden takes a break, she hams it up when it's just her. but only when i flip up the viewing screen so SHE can see herself smile. silly girl
GET MORE STRESSED:
take a few terrible shots of Ayden by himself... with Daddy tickling him at at times letting ayden hit him with a toy so that Ayden with laugh.. (Brian wispering to me hurry up it is starting to hurt)
GET DESPERATE:
stick my toes out and tickle adyen's leg and when he looks at me SNAP a pictre and say ENUF!!!
IMPORVISE:
Photoshop a picture of Emily and a picture of Ayden together and create ONE DARN FINE Christmas Card (even if i do have to say so myself)
