I was trying to take a photo of myself, which is surprising for a blogger. In my weak defense, it was for a good cause. However, my attempt was doomed from the start because my children have Scott’s and my TAKEMYPICTURE genes transforming them into perma photo bombs.
I thought one or two pictures would end the madness. I’ve clearly learned nothing in my years of parenting.
Oh well. I think these pictures were for a good cause, too — that one about motherhood and laughter.

Whenever we can’t find our 2 year old, the first place we check is the computer downstairs, which is usually where he is playing with PhotoBooth on the Mac. He’s such a diva.
That is funny! I think we need to get Photobooth. Or does it just work on Mac? We’re PC folks….
Photo booth is one of our favorite passtimes around here.
I’ve introduced the younger son to Skype (so that he can Skype his grandparents, etc.) and had him practice with me. There are elaborate shenanigans that take place when you put the kid in front of a webcam.
Be afraid for me.
Gee, it’s a shame your kids hate having their pictures taken isn’t it. Seriously, the one of the three of you, the sixth one up from the bottom, has wonderful composition. You oughta get an artist to paint a picture of it. I’ve always wondered: do you have a tripod for your photos or does Scott do them? or what?
Haha. Yes, they are so photo shy.
My computer has a photo booth application so we can sit in front of the computer and take pictures, which is where all of these are from.
But most of our photos are done on my iPhone by me or Scott.
I can’t get a good pic of my kids–let alone with ME in it–to save my life.
it starts so innocently, doesn’t it?
“Yes, you can sit with me for one nice picture. Oh! good smile. Ok…”
and then it turns into mayhem.
also? i like your hair. when did it get so long and pretty?
Thank you so much! I’m not sure what I’m doing with my hair so it keeps growing and I keep ignoring it.
I love how the pictures start as sweet portraits and show the rapid progression into chaos. Awesome!
It always brightens my day reading your posts. I think the pictures are awesome! We play with PhotoBooth all the time. Plus, you gave me some reassurance that I’m not the only mom that lets her 2009 child still have a pacifier from time to time!
I know this is totally not the point, but DANG you are pretty.
Even when you’re being photo bombed. And silly.
(In fact, silly-pretty is the BEST kind, no?)
You’re hair is sooo long! N has the exact same shade. Natural highlights are AWESOME!
I know others have already mentioned this, but I’m loving your long, pretty hair.
These are fun pictures – even if they didn’t accomplish your original goal.
Motherhood and laughter are definitely good causes
I love the tétine (pacifier). We have one of those photo bombers in our house too.
