Photobucket
This is us ,the real deal. Fabulous eh?
Oh wait, You think this is fancy,

Photobucket
It could have been her nose that finger was in.
Or maybe this?
Photobucket
Oh wait Mom, did you say just one in our Easter clothes? Ok well this will have to do!

It's the best we can do, we are dealing with six different minds after all.

Oh i feel your pain & i only have one- I can't imagine this after i have all my kids.
I think you got lucky w/ the last shot:) (wait or is that just your amazing talent:)

We had tons of fun with you guys yesterday at "your new location". :)
I know you are frustrated, but seriously, I'm thinking you should print the first one. It's quiet perfection...all those little people just being themselves. Before we know it, you and I will be discussing our grandchildren!! LOL.

I'm with onehm. I love the ones where they are just being themselves. They say so much.

Love it! I can COMPLETELY relate, and I only have four....and the oldest usually refuses to be in pictures, so that cuts me to three, and I still can't get cooperation! You will look back and love that picture though. :)

it's exhausting huh?
kills me, and i'm not even trying to take the pictures.

they look fab.
next year you'll look back and be thrilled. because they will be another year older. and you'll be sad they've grown up. or someday you will be. these are real.

perfectly posed is SO OVERRATED.
although i seriously enjoy perfect to. i have decided it's unattainable.

fab location!

Well-at least they look cute even if they all didn't look at the camera together. I love the girls dresses! You are a brave woman taking them out in the dirt in such nice clothes. I hope you had help!

I feel your frustrations.....and it's a million times worse when it's your own kids! Everyone assures me it will get easier as they get older....it better! :) And these are so cute....the outfits are ADORABLE!!!!

I LOVE them! How boring would it be if they were all looking at you and smiling at the same time? You wouldn't be able to see their little personalities! Pat yourself on the back for getting them all dressed cute, with hair done. That in and of itself is a miracle. I grew up with 11 siblings, and one year my mother decided to videotape us getting our family picture taken. It is hilarious! A classic to this day. Nose picking, sibling pinching, funny faces, and all out crazy behavior. Fantastic!

Love them! It totally shows all their little personalities and you will always remember the story behind it! Love their little outfits too!
