Picture Day

Oh goody! Today was picture day! (If you don't want to see 600 pictures of my kids, you might want to skip this one.) It actually has become 16 times less stressful to get portraits done. I implemented these simple changes:

* No pictures of me. No exceptions.
* The outfits don't have to coordinate.
* I don't really care if they don't come out perfect, because we aren't perfect. No stressing about hair, having cutesy accessories, etc. Our pictures pretty much look the way we look every day, and I'm cool with that.

Here's what Lexi thought about picture day:


This cracked me up:

Those are great pictures. I like your views on picture taking, I agree trying to get everyone to look perfect is insane.
