Hard work is getting 3 kids to smile....at the same time.

Mike and I took the kids to get their pictures taken. We needed to get Olivia's 5 yr pics done and then we wanted to get all 3 of them. We haven't done that in a while. Next month, Gavin will go and get his 1 yr done and then in June, Channing will get his 3 yr done. simple. Right? WRONG!

I remember when Olivia was a baby and how easy it was to only have to get one child to smile! Then, I threw Channing in the mix and it was a little harder but not too bad.... Throw Gavin in the mix. Haha! Gavin and Olivia actually smiled and did well. Channing, he was a pistol today and was more concerned about the dollar in his pocket then he was getting his picture taken! He also woke up a cranky boy from his nap.
I HATE making appts for pictures. When we went yesterday, it would have been perfect if they could have gotten us in, right then and there. The kids were all happy and in great spirits, but because I HAD to make the the appt. Totally jinxed the whole idea of getting them done! I will say, Olivia's 5 yr pics turned out beautiful! She did such an awesome job! The last few years, she would just give a very fake smile. Today, she was very laid back and full of real smiles! I was so happy!! Our pictures will be back next week! I totally wish they could have photo cropped the picture. Posted the good picture of Channing on the picture he wasn't cooperating, but hey, it's great that they could capture his little personality! I told her she didn't have to wait for the smile. If we get a smile, that's our bonus. To me, kids are going to be kids. Of course, we all want smiley kids for pictures, but when you can't get it from them, at least let them capture the attitude! :) :) Now, the picture will always remind us how much of a crab stink Channing was on this special day! :) :)
