Mom and I took Raleigh and Hudson to the Picture People Tuesday on our day off to have their pictures taken. I have been kind of hesitant because the last time we went (Hudson was 3 months) Raleigh was not very cooperative. Well, nothing has changed. Hudson went first and every time I put him into position, he would jump up and crawl off. Over and over and over and over! Then we tried to do both of them. Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, I could have beat me a 3 year old. He wouldn't even get near Hudson. Then when it was Raleigh's turn alone it was evident that he has watch too many episodes of America's Next Top Model! He was posing all over the place. It was in fact a little scary because he was actually pretty good. I guess I should have him watch Sports Center a little more.
On another note, I have a little paperholic on my hands. There must be a goat somewhere in our ancestry. He prefers toilet paper. He can't go by a roll without grabbing a handful. Tonight I was giving Raleigh a bath and he kept going for it, so I removed it from the roll. Well, I guess he found some in the trash can because when I went to get Raleigh's jammies out of the closet, he was sitting in the closet, in the dark with a big wad in is mouth and a tail hanging out of his mouth. If that is not desperate, I don't know what is. I'm not sure what he sees in it, but hopefully he will grow out of it one day.

Oh my gosh - that whole story is hilarious! I bet you and your mom were wore out when the session was done :) I love the visual of Huddie with the toilet paper hanging out of his mouth! Great pictures. The boys couldn't be more adorable.
Oh noooooooo...I am going to gag....toilet paper from the trash...tell me it was clean... oh give the boy some fiber. I am cringing, but so laughing. I especially loved the part "I could have beat me a three year old." been there, but you have great pics to pick from. My girls pose from too much ANTM...ruined, they are.
The boys are simply beautiful, the photos amazing. Getting pictures taken is less than fun, the more children, the worse it gets. I enjoyed it when Caiden was a baby, then it was not bad, even with him and Ashton, and even Aubrey.............. Now it is horrendous, and I am always worn out after.
I have found an idea, that might work for Raleigh, and maybe even Drew.
Wrap up a gift. This can be absolutely anything, from a candy bar or miniature car, to a movie, book, or other favorite treat. Wrap it up fancy, ribbons and bows. One for each child. Show them the GIFT, and use it as an out and out BRIBE!!! LOL I did this for my Christmas Card pictures, and it worked great for the older four children, the others not so much, but it helps to have SOME behave!!!
Love to you Leslie,
You have very handsome sons,
Robin/Halo.
We will really have to try Robins idea next time with the pictures. I am always surprised how well they turn out! It was crazy!!!
Mom
I LOVE the pictures of the boys! They look adorable! Caroline always loved paper too! I was thrilled when she outgrew it!
Holy Cow! Those pictures are gorgeous! I love them. I'm glad you kept your cool with your 3 year old...some days are so easy and others, um, um, um...I just pray for grace and gentleness :)
Les-those pictures of the boys are so beautiful! I could just eat both of them up!! Girl, I have been there with a unwilling toddler and it has taken everything I have not to loose my cool! Doesn't it seem like they have the heat on at full blast during those times!
