As with every Independence Day in the past, the kids got dressed in their most patriotic attire and we set out to capture the perfect Kodak moment. It's kind of a holiday tradition around here. However, today it became apparent that kids have a little 4th of July tradition of their own: make the photo shoot as difficult and fruitless as possible.
I started to get suspicious when Merryn busted out her best Gary Coleman impersonation...
No matter what I did, I could not get both of them to look at me and smile.
I sang songs...
...played musical instruments...
...I even tried to bribe them with Teddy Grahams!
Here's the money shot:
And as for Mom's goal of complete cooperation and simultaneous smiles? Ha! Until next year...
How CUTE!!! Happy 4th!
