Bucket has been smiling a lot.
However, he didn't do it for our recent family photos.
Neither did the girls.
Pigtails tried to run away and Princess Sparkles wanted to eat.
It's nearly impossible to get a family photo where everyone is smiling,
or even looking at the camera.

| Monday's Inspiration - Sara Rue |
I decided to wear a "new" Forever 21 dress I got at a recent clothing swap. I think it actually might've been a tunic (I got it from a friend who is 5'10!) but I like it as a dress for me. I belted it for "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds and decided to wear booties instead of heels for practicality and also because I wanted to make the dress a tad less girly.

It's funny, no one ever wants to pose for family photos. But if I whip out my camera to take my blog pictures, suddenly everyone wants to be in them!

Ain't that always the way??? I swear I totally feel ya. And my oldest (11) won't even let me take his pictures anymore. So I badger the everloving out of him and then I get some kind of "get that camera out of my face mom" smirk. Aw kids. At any rate you are looking GAWGEOUS in this cute little red dress!
whether candid or posed they still look delightful! bucket really has a darling smile, just like his mommy. you look great in your, it may have once been a tunic, but i like it as a dress. :) those booties are a touch of cool too.
awh such a cute family photos, even if they weren't planned :p
The picture of Bucket is too, too cute! The "dress" / tunic looks so great on you - glad it made its way to you! We can't ever get a good picture altogether either - it reminds me of that commercial awhile back - "To the cloud!"
As Princess Sparkles used to say, "I got an idea." Why not get
Camo to pretend to be taking a pic with you for your blog (holding Bucket) and maybe the girls will come running. Frankly, formally posed pics never show the real personalities and someone always blinks. Love P.S. behind the camera
All of your kids are adorable. I like the new dress. Red is a good color on you.
...because they want to be just like their mommy! :) Oh that smile of Bucket's...so precious!
I love the outfit by the way :) That color combo suits you well :)
Oh, my family portraits that are so awful are also full of wonderful memories for me. I love it that Bucket is smiling...after the colic you may have been dealing with.
Bucket is KILLING me. That's so adorable.
PS. I tagged you to answer 11 questions!
it's impossible to get all the kids smiling at the same time! Sometimes you have to take what u can get! You look really pretty in that dress!

the second photo is SO brilliant! I just love it! it's like from a magazine or something..
and the way you've combined that dress with a waist-belt and a pair of cool booties is awesome too. I like the slightly country'ish vibe ;) I think you always manage to surprise with a clever outfit!
