Mother's Day Take....

I don't know why I always want to take pictures before church (even when we're running late) on every holiday that falls on a Sunday. But it never fails and my excuse is that the kids will get messy at church, which Austin usually does. 

Anywho, we were running extremely late on Mother's Day but I of course still insisted. The hubbster was trying get a picture just the way I like it:
--All the kids looking at the camera
--Me looking at the camera
--All the kids smiling
--Me smiling and not looking squishy
--Camera pointed down on us subjects (did you know that makes you look thinner?)
--etc., etc., etc.
This is what I ended up with:

Take One:

Take Two:

Take Three:

Take Four:

All worked out in the end and I am awfully grateful that my studly hubby puts up with my OCD mess.
