family picture day

first thing this morning--b bangs left eye on dresser.

then he clobbers me above right eye with a baby rattle (on accident).

then s hits himself then in face with drumstick.

i get ready for pictures while the boys nap, then check the weather and see that there is a high wind advisory. so i take my blown-dry locks (used my hair dryer for the first time in about a year) and pull them back. wasted effort.

then s wakes up really, really early from his nap, like so early that he'll be wanting to go back to sleep right at the time we're supposed to take pictures.

then he throws up on me (and me already dressed for pictures!).

then b wakes up cranky and with a cowlick and we can't find his brush. and it turns out that wetting his hair three times isn't enough to fix the cowlick. unreal.

i think this outtake from our photo shoot sums it up:

Yes, that would be lots of crying and not a lot of looking at the camera. *sigh* There's always next year. 

p.s. thankfully, we did get some decent shots. i'll post some of those later (you know, after i photoshop the one person's eyes that were inevitably closed in every picture), once i get done laughing at this one and shaking my head at what a crazy day we had. seriously, someone make the crazy stop!
