So yea....

This is what happens when you want 3 children to all look at you and smile at once...

The baby just wanted to play in the dirt, my son just wanted to see "cock-a-dials" (of which we have none in CT) and my daughter wanted to go play.  So yea.  My bribes got a FEW smiles though...

No matter how nuts they drive me and how badly I just want to run away screaming sometimes, they are worth every moment of it.  I love them more than life itself.  Forever and ever.

And just a word to the wise:  Edit pictures and make colleges and put separate pictures on one page.. it is almost the ONLY way to get a perfect portrait the more kids you add to the mix... And of course the best picture out of them all was WAY too bright so I tried to edit it.... le sigh
