So this is how a photo shoot goes at our house. All I wanted was a sweet little picture of my "bean pod" and a little Claus, and this is what I get . . .

Mr. Bean attacking Miss Claus . . .

Miss Claus with a hit and run . . .

"Help me get away! I'm stuck in the Bumbo chair!"

As you can see, both children are clearly intent on the task . . .

So I try a new setting. And then Ruby is more interested in my glass of tea than my very important picture.

"Mom! Ruby smells!" . . . "I do not!!!"

So I just went with the shot of each kiddo. Sheesh.
Phew. That felt like just as much work the second time around. Now I'm going to bed.
