outtakes.

the annual christmas-card-picture-taking-saga (which sometimes comes with a lot of tears, usually mine)
was over and done with in about 20 painless minutes. i have never understood how in the world it can be so easy
to take pictures other people's children, but impossible to take them of ours.
until now.
now, i know exactly how many pieces of halloween candy, crazy bones & my little ponies it takes.
now, i can leave them alone for a while.
and i will, because that was also part of the deal.

ps... i didn't tell hayden to kiss his sister. he's just seen enough pictures to know i would think that was sweet.
and that he could be done sooner.
