You want me to do what?

In the last post you saw some delightful candids of happy toddlers in Halloween costumes. But sit them down and ask them to smile on cue and you get something like this:

At their daycare's Halloween party

It's always been like this. Either they're so fascinated by the camera they get tunnel vision or they are mighty distrustful of some random person telling them to smile. Their stoicism in school pictures would be a laughable affair. That is, if you couldn't see the tears welling in their eyes in every frame. We got a couple this year as a keepsake. And for something to torture them with when they're in high school.

Oh, did I mention that Zora is sobbing in her pictures even as she strikes the poses they ask for?

Absolutely disgusted by the whole process.

This is all just to say, who knows what type of Christmas card we'll be able to pull together this year?

They really are two silly, funny girls who love to laugh. I swear.
