Mom's great idea

Mom had this wonderful idea. "All four of my kids are together and I want to get a nice picture." That's a great thought but she might want to take away the "nice" from that sentence. She can get a picture of her four kids together, maybe not a "nice" one, but she'll sure get a picture. Ha ha.

(FYI: The comentary for each ridiculous picture is written UNDER the picture)

Okay. . .We did want a couple of silly "serious" shots.

Sarah's got a half smile in this one, Philip kind of creeps me out, Emily is on the verge of tears only because Ethan has started petting her head.

There's more than a couple of issues with this one. Sarah's pretty much on the way to a real smile, Philip's spread eagle, Emily is being full on attacked by the gorilla named Ethan sitting next to her.

Okay. . .Sarah's pretty much sick of all the nonsense, Philip's chattin' it up, Emily's afraid to even move, (by this point she's asked Mom several times if she could sit over by Sarah instead of Ethan) and Ethan's finally got his attention on something in the corner of the room. I think a bug flew by and he got distracted.

This was the first "good" take. Yeah, it's all good except for the fact that Philip doesn't know when to stop! :)

Okay, we've got a couple of good ones. (Except for the fact that Sarah still looks like a mess. She threw up like 8 times since midnight the night before these pictures were taken. Something didn't sit well with her stomach. She has vowed to never eat at Craigo's or Winger's again.) :)

Then we had a photo shoot with mom in the mix. Cute idea except Philip couldn't quit "spanking" Mom. He looks pretty occupied, doesn't he? Kind of creepy, in a silly sort of way.

This one would be cute except for the obvious fact that Philip never knows when to be serious.

This is pretty much the best shot of the whole night.

And then someone has to go and ruin it.
