Why do I even try?!!!

I finally got all the kids in their Easter clothes that I made for them. I though it would be a great chance to get a picture of the 4 of them together. I don't really have any great ones and I'd love just one to hang on my wall. I've decided that taking a group picture of my kids is one thing I absolutely HATE! It never works out and then I turn into Momzilla. When I take pictures of other people's kids, I just think in my head, "yelling at them isn't going to make them smile" when they start getting all upset at their kids and what do I do? The EXACT SAME THING!!! So after a few really bad shots like this:



and this (although not too bad):



and this (but I love Cooper's face):


the best we get is this:


I think I'd rather hire someone and pay them to try than be having one of the worst experience and scarring my children for life! I decided that I'd just had to take individual pictures. Only Liz and Cooper really cooperated for those though.



Maybe we'll get a group one in five years!

Too funny! Ok not really cuz I feel your pain. I don't know how to get a good one with two, so four...not going to happen.Although I must say this Easter I got a few which really made my day! I think you did pretty good. I must say that Cooper is a stud! He is so cute in every picture. Nice job on making the outfits. I could only wish to do that good.

Ok-I tried to post a comment once before but it didn't work. If you accidentally get 2 from me-so sorry! I LOVE the outfits! Where did you get the pattern for Cooper's tie? I would love to try and make one sometime. I personally love the crazy family pictures. It seems more true-to-life and they make me laugh! How are you feeling these days by the way?
