You know what I love about life? That once in a while it smacks you upside the head to remind you that you need to just CHILL.
Case in point: Halloween afternoon I was desperately trying to get a decent photo of all three girls together. Getting all three to look at the camera and smile at the same time was darn near impossible. Brooklyn was NOT happy, Emma kept trying to make her happy, and Kendall can’t smile without looking like her eyes and teeth are in the process of exploding out of her head. Needless to say, I was annoyed and — (a-hem) — I let them know it. Not my finest Mommy moment.
Later, after combing through a bazillion shots on my camera, searching for a decent photo to post on Facebook, I remembered I took a few with my phone. And here is what I found…
THIS, my friends, is what I should have been trying to capture. Look at them…loving each other, interacting, having fun. THIS is what I want to look back and remember.
Lesson learned (again). Next time, Mommy plans to forget about the 432 so-called “friends” and join in on the fun that is happening RIGHT IN FRONT of her, with the three most awesome people in her life.
Have a great weekend, everyone. I hope you take the time to enjoy the awesome people in your life!
