They may have been bribed...

My children and me have an agreement. My "studio" is set up in a corner of the basement that also stores bins of toys (we rotate toys). When I have an itch to do a little photography, they get one toy for every decent picture I capture.
Liam is typically good at hamming it up for the camera.

Poor Max. He usually walks away with the fewest toys. haha It's a battle to catch a smile out of him. But I do love seeing what unique expressions I'll capture each time.

And yes, Chaz's chin is covered in bandages. The little guy face planted on the wood floor and split his chin open. :(

Halloween 2015

Would you think I'm a horrible parent if I admit that we didn't even go out trick or treating on halloween night? Friday night we had a church trunk or treat party. We thought that was good enough.

We had 2 super heros & a darth vader. Chaz, dad & me decided we'd be the normal ones in the group.
