This is what I got for trying to take a quick photo of the kids for Mr. Hot's Father's Day gift (a nice framed photo of the kids for his desk at work). I put it off to the very last minute, as in I was trying to get it done and in the frame before he got out of the shower. Stupid me. Okay, guys, we need a few more smiles here. We want daddy to think you are HAPPY children, right? Um, that's taking it just a bit too far, don't you think Sweet Terror? And mommy picked a bad angle on this one. MONSTER MAN!!!! Put those hands down! (Thinking in my head, "He is so stinkin' cute!") Ok, daddy is turning off the water so this will have to do. Thanks guys, I owe you one!

I love that last picture...you can totally see the personalities of your children in that photo!

June 19, 2008 at 10:29 AM 
Oh my goodness your kids are darling! I can't believe how much they've grown since I last saw them!

I'm a last minute picture taker too. But yours turned out really well. I bet he loved them. I think the thumbs up one is priceless!

I forgot to mention yesterday that I love your blog title. It caught my attention immediately. I too am an Ice cream-aholic. In fact last nights was mint choc. chip.
 
Monster Man had me laughing out loud.
Priceless :-)

I love those pictures! My kids are always making weird faces when I try and take their pictures.

June 19, 2008 at 11:57 AM 
i have the exact same problem when i try to take a picture of my brood. except add the plastered-on fake smile on my oldest. yikes! i'm sure mr. hotness loved the photo, even if it wasn't everyone's best possible smile.

Oh my! Too funny. Your kids - they're adorable. :)

College - I'm 40 now and just going back. One little class at a time, online. I wish I had done this sooner. One class at a time is manageable. Of course I'll probably graduate in about 10 years ...

June 19, 2008 at 3:24 PM 
LOL! Ahhhhh taking family pictures is so much fun.

June 19, 2008 at 3:50 PM 
LOOOOOOOVE all the different shots and the darling personalities of your darlins. :-)

June 19, 2008 at 4:55 PM 
I love digital cameras. I take so many shots and catch so many of those great moments that really show personality.

Trying to get 4 kids to all look at the camera at the same time is quite a feat! I think they turned out lovely. What cute kids!

June 19, 2008 at 5:18 PM 
I adore Monster Man's personality shining through in picture #3!

June 19, 2008 at 5:52 PM 
lol, love the outtakes and your final choice is a good one!! it's hard getting them ALL to cooperate...;-)

June 19, 2008 at 5:54 PM 
What a beautiful family! I love the 3rd picture ( :

June 19, 2008 at 8:18 PM 
I don't know...I kinda liked the funny ones! LOL.

June 19, 2008 at 8:35 PM 
CUTE. With four kids, I feel your pain. Trying to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time without blinking/turning/making bunny ears on the person next to them... it's tough stuff. :)

June 19, 2008 at 9:15 PM 
You kids are SO darling! It must be all that in utero ice cream. :)

No matter how much I plan for a family picture I can not get all my kids to pose or even look in the same direction.

Monster man is adorable!!!

June 20, 2008 at 4:08 PM 
These pictures are great! You have a beautiful family!

Awesome. I couldn't hold in the laughter after the last picture. I miss your kids.

p.s. Gabe's shirt makes him look like a pastor from a christian church.

June 22, 2008 at 7:55 PM 
Look at your beautiful children. They are daring. Darling, darling, darling.

June 22, 2008 at 10:13 PM 
Those are THE most awesome pictures in the whole world! :-D

Awww, I LOVE the thumb's up one. Very snazzy-looking crew. Just needs ... one ... more ... tiny ... baby ... up front, ya' think?

June 26, 2008 at 8:40 AM A Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton Porter: one of my all time favorite books. It's a simple, sweet story of a girl who fights for what she wants and by staying pure and true to herself and others she gets all she deserves by the end. It's a true happy ending. If you've ever seen the TV version it is not the same thing. I can't stand the TV version they made of this.
