you know you're a Red Green wannabe when...

...you use duct tape to repair the tripod.


But it helped me take this:


And yes, the jacket makes me look like a linebacker, so I probably won't wear it again, at least not in public!  Doesn't help that I had to be straight on to the camera as well, since I was trying to keep Adam in line. 

But that's not the tripod's fault, after all. 

We'll more than likely go back out to this park and reshoot these, only with the kids dressed a little nicer, for our Christmas card.  Too bad we weren't ready for it today.  The light was perfect.  But I looked through  the kids' things, and their clothing all appears to come from *gasp* Walmart or dibs and dabs from thrift stores, and they have nothing particularly nice or coordinating.  I definitely need to do something about that.

Honey, what you don't realize is that none of what you've mentioned even occurred to me...I just scrolled down past the duct-taped tripod (who gets the job done? YOU get the job done!) and said, "OH!" as I saw this photo of this beautiful, smiling, healthy family.

You guys look fabulous...and I LOVE this photo!

What's wrong with Red Green? Love him!! I can empathize with the clothing situation. Three boys burn through clothes fast. We usually reserve the "nice" stuff for places like church. :)
