What makes a girl smile...CARBS

I finally went and got the girls pictures taken. I had it all planned in my head. I would get the girls up and dressed and out of the house before Mable got to grumpy and needed a nap. This however did not go as planned. I got the girls up and I couldn't find anything for them to wear. Then Makaylee refused to have her hair done. I swear my kids have the most sensitive heads ever. By the time we left the house it was close to Mable's nap time and I knew this couldn't be good. When we got there, I decided to get a few done of Makaylee first so that Mable could watch her and then hopefully want to do it to. Makaylee did a great job. She loves to pose and have her picture taken.

Then it was Mable's turn. She was not having it. She cried and screamed and laid on the ground and had a fit. So the lady suggested I do some pictures of them together. This went well as long as Makaylee didn't touch Mable. If Makaylee tried to put her arm around her or touch her, Mable would throw a huge fit. But we got a few good ones.



Makaylee was a champ. We would pose Mable and get her smiling and then Makaylee would jump into the picture and pose next to her before Mable noticed she was touching her and start crying.

I still did not have any of Mable by herself. This was the whole point of us getting pictures done that day. So we tried, and we tried, and we tried to get her to sit and smile, but she was not having it. The lady told us to go take a walk around the mall for a little bit and see if we could get her to calm down. I took the girls to the food court. I got some breadsticks thinking that maybe Mable was hungry and needed something to eat. We went back to Kiddie Kandids because Mable seemed happy enough. However, she was happy as long as she had her breadstick. If I tried to take it away from her, she would throw herself on the ground and cry. I had about all I could take for the day so I decided to just take her picture anyway... breadstick and all.

I love my girls!!!
