…of what it is like to try to take a picture of all four boys together.

My sweet friend Dani Mogstad came over today to take some pictures for us, and she did such a great job too!  We ended up with several way cute shots,  but man I felt sorry for her.  The boys were SOOOOO uncooperative about getting photographed together, and although this is something I am used to from every single year before.  I have to admit, I’m feeling less and less forgiving about it!  They are getting older now, and there is no reason why they shouldn’t be able to sit still for just a few short minutes.  The kids are all school aged, they sit still alllllll the time, they are good kids too!  I mean really generally pretty sweet and good listeners… usually I’m quite proud of them…. But it never fails, when we put them together for a picture, they are not the sweet compliant kids I’m used to, and instead they are down right rude!  Sigh….

It just makes a mommy a little bit sad, it isn’t like I make them take group pictures every single day (although maybe I should just to get them back!)…. but I just find myself thinking that by the time they are actually willing to sit for a picture, they won’t even be children anymore….  they are cute NOW and I want pictures dangit!

Hahaha, ok rant over.  In the end I was really surprised that we ended up with a few really great shots, and a whole lot of true to character ones….  I guess its better that they are generally good kids most of the time, and total hellions for photographs rather than the other way around right???

And after all, they still do look pretty dang cute…. lucky for them, because they really were not on my good side a few hours ago.
