Chinese New Year Photos
The insane daddy in me wanted to take some photos of the kids in their Chinese outfits. How hard can that be? Kids love sitting still to have their pictures taken, right? Of course they do. Just like they like to clean up after themselves. It will be lots of fun. Right. It was so much fun that I gave up after ten minutes. The kids whooped me again.
The photo below was the best I could do. Not bad, but not great either.
Below is my favorite Chinese New Year photo because my kids rarely hug each other like that. In their world, it’s against the law. The Little Monkey wasn’t in the photo because she was too busy growling at me off camera.
Here’s a blooper photo. Looks like the Little Monkey is ready to turn into the Hulk. Or maybe she was just constipated.
Another blooper. Ask the kids to smile and one of them will fall asleep while another one sticks out her tongue at me. I’m sure it’s a sign of respect.

It’s written in the Kid Code of Conduct that when a camera comes out so does a tongue! Cute pics!

I wouldn’t gripe too much. Spider Boy is smiling, after all.

The bloopers win for me. They’re always so much more fun and more “real” with my own kids.
Hugs,

Okay, those pictures are awesome. Looks like you’re getting used to the new camera. And it looks like we had the same amount of luck with photo shoots this weekend. Too bad I didn’t post any outtakes.

Same old camera. I’m too frugal to buy a new camera right now.
that first blooper photo should be framed- adorable.

I love how you describe the experience. My kids are exactly the same way: it’s impossible to get all three of them sitting properly for one picture. I usually follow them around and wait for the right moment.
I wish I had the answer :) Either way, this is a delightful shot. “Perfect” takes on many forms…and any photo that shows kids being kids is perfect in my book.

Love the photos :)
I think that’s a good picture….no one has their finger up their nose and they’re not punching their neighbor!!!!
And they also not sticking their middle finger!
Those pictures are great! They have such genuine smiles. Julia’s conditioned herself to put on a fake smile every time I pull out the camera. It’s so annoying!

The Little Princess is like. It’s obvious in the photos that she is fake smiling most of the time.
adorable! and the interior designer in me notices that lovely drapery in the back ground. “toile” i think they call it? we used to have some in the dining room when I was growing up and i always found it so soothing to find the scenes throughout it.
