Good ole Luck of the Irish!

We had fun this year trying to figure out the kids "Green outfits". You know elementary kids are the least forgiving when it comes to not wearing green and will pinch you all day long. I was lucky to catch these two blue eyed beauties right before Liv ran out the door to school. I still don't know how I ended up with two blue eyed kids where Matt and I both have dark brown. I always wished as a kid that I had blue eyes so maybe my wish kinda came true.











My kids are funny because they are the hardest for me to photograph. They don't listen. They don't look at me. They goof off. They are just plain hard and purely frustrating to work with. I have to pull all sorts of tricks out of my hat to get that one good one. I probably have to take 100 shots to get one or two that I love. In fact if I remember correctly the ones of Harrison here are the ones where I had to pretend that my camera was tooting. Yes I said it...tooting. He is so boy. He gets this horrible and sometimes very embarrassing humor from his dear old dad. Thanks Matt.

One day last week Harrison had pictures at preschool. When it was his turn he just hugged to my leg and was acting really weird. He didn't want to sit on the little chair and act along very well. I had to do a song and dance for him and still not one turned out. He kept putting his chin down to create 20 double chins or he would open his eyes really wide and then smile with his 20 double chins. Urgh!!! I just said pick the best one you got. Well on the way home I asked him why he was acting so weird about getting his picture taken. And you know what he said..Bless his heart. He said, "I only like you to take my picture mommy!" Ahhh. He gets brownie points in my heart. Thanks bud for building up my confidence. So I guess I should be content with what I get from him. Cutie bug.
