I really need to put a picture of myself on my blog. But I do not have any pictures of just me! I am always on the other side of the camera so in order to have a picture of me, I am going to have to have one of my offspring take a picture. Great fun. Plus, I really don't like to have my picture taken. My face is always to shiny, my smile showing just a little too much gums. Why oh why couldn't I be one of those folks who do not know what it is like to take a bad picture? My daughter is one of them. She is a natural in front of the camera. Quick to pose, quick to smile. Maybe it is because she was the first born and we always had a camera stuck in her face. This is her.
This is her dance picture from this year. She is holding the pose perfectly. But what you can't know is that the entire time she is telling me through gritted teeth "Hurry up mama." But she never loses her pose. Talented kid.
Then there is my son. Sometimes he likes to have his picture taken.
Smiling for the camera (sort of) and waiting for mommy to take the picture. Probably because he was getting what he wanted and was in a good mood.And then there is the task of taking a picture of them together....ah the love.
The request was simple....put your arm around your brother so we can take a picture. Yeah, didn't go over well. You would think they didn't share the same germs or something. The sad thing is this is not the only picture like this. We have several. Some day, some day, she WILL like her little brother.
(P.S. I apologize for the quality of the pictures. I do not have a fancy program to enhance the quality of my photos. But I am working on it! wink Although, I'm not sure there is a program in the world that can correct the errors of the photographer.)
