Family Portraits
Last Saturday, we had family pictures taken. Nice, relaxed, outdoorsy, family pictures. Took a little over an hour.
This took pretty much all the kids had, in terms of good behavior. By the end, we were reverting to the “smile or you’ll be punished” method of taking pictures. The thing is, how did families get PAINTINGS of their kids 200 years ago? To get a kid to sit still long enough to be painted? No wonder nobody was smiling.
We had to promise the kids we wouldn’t do it again for a long time.
Nobody likes having their pictures taken. Everyone likes seeing the pictures.
