Infants, Toddlers, and Cameras. Oh my!

In a moment of insanity, I thought "Hm. I should get a picture of me with all the girls. "

It was Father's Day, after all. Exactly one month post-Mother's Day.

You know, The Day where no one thought to say "We should take this opportunity to document a Mother-Daughter moment on film."

Novel thought around these here parts.

So last night... late last night when Lani is crying because she's tired, Raegan is running around like a monkey on crack because she's over tired, and the rest of us look like we slept in our clothes because we'd officially been in them for 12 hours, I had the genius idea to finally take that long overdue mother-daughter picture.

In front of the AC window unit, random box of stuff to give away, and half throw together entertainment center no less.

What can I say, when I do genius, I do it right. *yeah yeah. zip it*

So after a round of trial and error photo-ops...of which I can't show you because Blogger just doesn't want to download my pictures...

Here is my favorite.


I have one escapee. a monkey on my back. and two older sisters who fi-na-lly gave me genuine smiles simultaneously.

But only because Thing One and Thing Two's picture antics are cracking them up.

But hey. It IS a documented *real* moment in the life of Christin, The Mother. And really, you don't get more "real" than this chaotic pic.
