Group Photos

Well, I finally got the energy to do a group shot of all the kids.... I bribed them to clean the toy room so I could hang a backdrop and then trap them all in there with the lovely lighting.

It was an interesting 45 minutes, I admit I finally pulled out the reward bucket from the pantry and dumped its entire candy contents on the floor behind me to inspire cooperation.....

Of course, Deacon ended up holding and eating some of the loot before we were finished, but that's okay, it adds character to the pictures, right?
Right.

The next ones are a few that show how fun the photoshoot really was......I may make a collage out of some of these, because they show my kids as they really are....
Just after this one below is about where I dumped the candy.....then he was happy.
Deacon kept making the other kids laugh..... this one was just after he let out a loud belch......sigh...2 year olds.

I love them! The pics that show them as they were through it all are so great. I'm sure you were as ready to be done as they were. :) My favorite is the one you used in your header. Good job Steph, the work was worth it. I'd love a picture of all the kids in a 5x7. :)
