8am photoshoots

You know it's going to be a really, really long day when you're already on cup of coffee #2 and staged a mini-photo shoot before Super Why comes on.  We were a day late for Emerson's 3 month picture so it was time to get to work.  I know you're all probably sick of hearing this, but seriously the chick rocks....you just have to talk to her and she starts smiling and she finds me funny.  And that is rare.  I love her.

We had a cute little photo shoot going....

And then the crazies came in and joined us.....

 Reese giving me some attitude....wonder which sister she learned this from?  Complete with hand motions.

 My girls....

 And without fail, about 4 seconds into shooting....someone is unhappy

 Getting a little help in the smiling department

 Many of you might see this and think 'what kind of mother lets one try to smother the other?' - well, that kind of mother would be me.  Survival of the fittest people.    

 Give me 'bored'. 

 Reese doing her thing = not bored anymore

 Ryan and her mini-me

 This was my direction:  sing a song.  Reese gave us a rousing rendition of 'Wheels on the Bus' and Ryan gave us a very somber version of 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'.

 Still singing....seriously the saddest 'Twinkle Twinkle' you ever did hear..

 Then our window of semi-cooperation was gone and I was in need of more coffee so we called it a day...
