"Take My Picture Please!"

This is a request we're been hearing a lot lately- basically every time we have the camera out! Usually, it's Alexandria and Sydney that ask, with Isaiah just going along with his sisters like the good natured boy he is. Sometimes, as in this day, things start off happily and then deteriorate rapidly when one child decides they no longer want to cooperate...

Here, we start with happy, loving, twins who are thrilled to take their picture together....(a big change from when I used to have to struggle to get a decent pic of them both looking in the right direction with no one crying or screaming!)





Then Sydney joins the group...












Then, touble strikes when I ask Alexandria to put her arm around Sydney and take a picture of the sisters. Alexandria refuses and when Sydney says "hug me" Alexandria swings her arm and hits Sydney, as captured here....




...When Alexandria gets in trouble, she falls out and throws a fit. Clearly a nice picture of the girls is not going to be forthcoming today....



.....And here is Sydney's reaction to Alexandria's mean spiritedness....










...and the culprit, clearly NOT remorseful.....
