not sure these photos are a ton more spectacular than the ones yesterday … but i’m thinking they’re a little better. not as many shadows … and didn’t need the flash at all.

i had actually forgot all about re-taking pictures. we were just finishing dinner (which i amazingly had done at 5:30) … and sarah was saying something about how i was late for "our thing". i had no clue what she was talking about. i guess i had said that the sun in the front yard would be good about 5:30 … and it was 5:45. lol! within minutes i had the girls changed, cleaned up, and outside for pics.

although alyssa was not thrilled in the least to have to do this again. all i ask for is 5 minutes of her time … but apparently that is too much. she got all upset about her hair because i wanted it put up a little. sarah’s hangs good when it’s down because she has a natural side-part. but alyssa’s hair parts in the middle … and she likes to put water on it and make it really flat. so i made her pin it up some. then she puts on this cheesy smile … i think i got it in just about every photo. even when i told her NOT too smile … she still had it. lol!

then to be fair … i let the girls take a few pictures of me. this was the best one … all the rest were really blurry. i tried to explain how to focus on the eyes, hold the button half-way down, then recompose the shot, and then finish pressing the button down. but they weren’t getting it. lol! i actually like how they managed to get the orange flowers in there … picked up nicely on my shirt. and how cool is that hat?!?! now i just need some shirts to match. lol! and you can’t see it in this picture … but i wore another new pair of jeans today. i didn’t think they were going to work out because they felt like they were way too much of a "lowrise" jean. but they were perfect … and i felt good in them. 2 great pairs of jeans … what more could i ask for really? 

and the first thing i thought of when i saw the pictures of myself? did you ever hear about the slimming cameras? i saw these a few months ago in some magazine ad. imagine being able to take off 10 pounds … with the click of a button. lol! i could use one of those!
