you would think that the older my kids get,

the easier trying to take their photo would be.

i mean, they're MY children after all.

it's not like i don't ever take their photo.

it's not like they haven't practiced this a million times.

or even more.

but it's always the same routine.

they pose for a few "nice" shots.

and then just as we're getting into it,

spontaneously, they all break out into their alter egos,
and any control i had of the shoot, magically disappears.

there are always "super model" poses...

although, really, i don't know what magazine they could possibly be posing for.

freaks are us?

there are always "kung fu" moves...

but i'm pretty sure the big fat panda would be just be embarrassed for them right here.

and of course, funny (a.k.a. dorky) faces...

but really,

i don't think i would have it any other way.

because they kind of crack me up.

except when it's december and i'm freezing and want to get into the house.
