I admit that I am jealous of the picture-perfect family.
It is not us.
On more than one occasion I have issued the helpful directive:
"Smile or I'm going to spank you!"
It's not very useful in producing the desired effect.
Sometimes it's best to just stand back and see what happens.
Real personalities come shining through.
Natural smiles are captured,
snatches of laughter and glee.
Nearly perfect....
and then the moment passes.
Mayhem begins.
One kid without shorts, one rolls his eyes,
one gesticulates with his hands, and the girl turns her head.
We're losing it.
He finds this all very amusing.
They give up and so do I.
