Picture Time


So I thought it would be a super idea to take all 3 kids to go get their pictures taken by myself w/o Michael. I was tired of trying to get all 3 of them to smile at the same time and thought a professional might have better luck, so I scheduled a sitting at JC Penney's. How hard could it be...right? Well we managed to get to the studio on time, a feat in and of itself, however....Bryce had not pooped in about 4 days. He was gearing up for a big explosion and when did he decide to go about his business? Right before picture time. So instead of lugging three kids to the bathroom I decide I need to change his diaper right away in the middle of the studio. Also b/c if I didn't get to it right away we would likely have a blowout on our hands and pictures would be ruined anyway. Well let me tell you this poop did not stop. I thought he was done, but it just kept coming. I was on my 3rd diaper and that was all I had on me. The photographer was just staring at me in disgust. I ended up having to drag all 3 kids back to the van for reinforcements. So by now we are 30 minutes late for pictures. Max and Lila are over the whole thing and Bryce decides he is hungry again. So they finally took the pictures but told me I had to come back 30 minutes later to view them b/c I was so late. Awesome. I had to take my three kids and spend 30 minutes killing time at the mall. So probably not the best idea I've ever had.

What an experience! The picture of Bryce is really cute. He looks like he feels really good after getting himself cleaned out!

Tina! Thanks for the good laugh!! I needed that! And you used the word POOP 2 times!! Fittin' right in with the Martins. =o] So, what are the chances of getting a print? I heard the last pics you sent to us came back to you, and Michael didn't understand sending them since you can post them.... rrrrr
I do love reading your blog, but still.... And, I'll have to make sure Kristy sees this story. =o)
