Whitakers

My sister Jenny invited Lisa and I over for dinner the other night, with one little caveat. We had to take pictures. She wanted some pictures of us girls and the little girls, well mostly of the little girls, for her "about me" poster for her classroom. Well my child is at some what of a trying fun age. Perhaps I may have taken too many photos of her or she has been blinded by my flash. Anywho, she is just not the most cooperative these days when it comes to taking posed pictures. She wants to wiggle and run away. It must not have been a good night for any of us actually. None of us really loved any of the pictures, but we sure laughed hard when we went back through them and looked at them. Beware there are tons of pictures, but they all provided my sisters and I with so many uncontrollable giggles (we call whitakers). I just had to document this moment so when we are 80 we can look back and remember the whitakers.

 This is how Jenny got us over there for pictures, free food!

It started out perfect! Isn't this little girl a doll. Well add her older cousin into the mix and things get a little dicey.

I look so happy 

We thought sitting on the couch with the TV on would make Addy look toward the camera. Well she is looking straight at the TV.

Then we all start to take a peek. It must have been a really good show.

Finally Lisa takes a look. Oh yeah doesn't Addy look so pleasant.

So we tried standing up. Plus, I figured it would have a slimming effect.

Josh is taking the picture. Tim is behind Josh bouncing a ball on his head like a dolphin so Addy will laugh.

At this point Addy wriggle out of my hands and ran off. Don't worry Charlotte can't go anywhere it looks like Lisa has a death grip on her.

So I try the same hold only Addy doesn't take it as good as Charlotte. Plus my smile looks a tad forced don't you think?

Crap she is trying to get loose again.  

 Check out Lisa's eye and the hold on Charlotte. It looks like she is super glued.

I think we are done.

Lisa and I were done with pictures so Jenny tried to get a couple with the little girls.

Addy was like "listen lady I am done" and proceeds to try to choke Jenn with her necklace and punch her in the face. I think Jenn got the picture.

So what have we learned... pictures with toddlers are hard work but produce lots of whitakers.
