International Incident

I'm starting to get frustrated.

Like every other mother in the world, I think I have the two cutest kids to ever walk the earth. Sam is just dreamy with his dark eyes, four-inch eyelashes, and deep dimples. Matilda is chubby and round and smiley with blue eyes and dimples under each of her eyes. One would think I'd have no problem getting a cute picture of them together.

One would think.

If I wasn't so frustrated, I'd think it was funny. Every time I take a series of pictures of my kids, hoping to just get one shot, the result is the same. I page through them on my computer and all I can think is, "They look like prisoners of war."

Behold their despondent little faces:

I am sitting at my desk at work and I am laughing out loud! I especially like the last picture. They do look like they're being interrogated!

Em, your commentary is priceless!! I am also laughing out loud at work... Trying to get posed pictures of kids has to be another form of interrogation.
