"Cheeeeese!"

We're flying back from Cincinnati the other day and I said to my nurse (a mom), "You know what I love?  School pictures."
My medic (a grown man) chimes in, "Why of all things did that pop in to your head?"

"Well, we flew over a baseball field, which reminded me that we have T-ball team pictures on Saturday, which reminded me how good the kids school pictures came out, which blows my mind."

You give a mouse a cookie.

See, most of my photos of the kids are A) blurry or B) self-initiated "Mom, take my picture" poses in Walmart.  I give up.  The reel from my iPhone will be an accurate account of your childhood, boys.

 

... And then they come home with this.

 I'm speechless on so many levels.  I want to post it at the next family reunion and challenge everyone to a caption contest. 
"Was this before or after Levi attempted to choke out his brother?"
"Did someone just say 'fart'?"
("Did someone actually fart?")
HOW MANY DUM-DUM's WAS THE PHOTOGRAPHER HOLDING???!!!???
Or was he actually a Ninja Turtle?

This one is equally unbelievable but less cheesy.  I purchased it at $12.50 per sheet of photo paper. 

Then we've got the dead teddy bear and the 3-year old that murdered it:

Just kidding, he's actually and angel.

HA HA HA.

In case any of your 5-year-old daughters have started an eHarmony profile, watch out for this lady-killer.  His pickup line is, "Free Candy."

He also strangles teddy bears and takes post-hunting photos with the carcass.  Perhaps our next stop should be taxidermy.

Love these boys.  One day I will thank them for their amusement ... and pray to God they turn out to be contributing members of society.
