"School" Pictures

It's really hard to get a good picture of certain little ones. I decided to take "school" pictures of the boys today and started with Jack. SIGH.

"Ok, Jack. Give me a nice smile."




"No, put your tongue in your mouth and smile nicely."




"Ok, now, look at me and give me a nice smile, not a goofy one."




"Jack! Give me a nice smile, now."



"Ok, that's good, now just look at me."



"JACK. Please look at me and smile nicely." ::::SIGH....::::



"You're not looking at me. Look at me and smile."



"There! That's better, now let's try another one."



"Oh, nevermind. Just go play."

I did get some a few minutes later, though.



So cute!



Don't think it was any easier to get a decent picture of Reeve, who is 13.

"Reeve, will you come over here, so I can get a nice picture of you?"

Reeve says: "Why? I don't want to take a picture."

"Reeve, just come over here and I'll be quick."

::::Drops his head and slinks over to me::::



"That's cute, but you're squinting, so can you open your eyes a little more?"



"Let's try to get one where you don't look like a crazed, psycho-killer."



"That's better, but your teeth are clenched. Can you try to smile naturally?" (I started to try and make him laugh.)



"A little too *laughy*, let's try one more."



We got a keeper.

Braedy's only took a few tries. I like both of these.





I still have to get some of Riley. Oscar is really hard to get pictures of because he's constantly moving. Here are a few tries...
