Easter Already?

I can’t believe Easter is almost upon us once again. We decided to do a quick photo shoot this morning while the Easter clothes were still intact. After going to dinner next weekend, who knows what shape the pretty dress up clothes will be in! Ketchup never does much to pretty pink frilly dresses!! :)

For the first time ever, we actually had cooperation from the children. Maddie was our most willing subject, listening to daddy’s instructions and doing exactly as she was asked. Here are my favorites…

Miss Madison…

My favorite shot of the day of Nate. It’s his “come hither” look!!
My favorite photo of Nate. It’s been a long time since I’ve liked a photo this much!

They were pretty well done with photos by the time we got around to the group shots.


Beauty School Dropout
Beauty School Dropout…I’m not really but I do love Grease!! Anyway for those of you who haven’t heard the story, a couple of months ago after I’d taken a french braid out of Lexi’s hair, Joe thought she’d find amusement in her “crimpy” hair. We took her into the bedroom and stood her in front of the full length mirror. In simple terms, she freaked. She screamed and cried about her “fluffy” hair until I finally sprayed it down with water and brushed it straight. She has now become obsessed with NOT having “fluffy” hair. She absolutely won’t let me braid it anymore. And when we remove ponies, she immediately asks for “spray and brush it please”. So I don’t know what I was thinking when I bought a cheap package of rollers at Walmart last weekend. I’d talked about using them a couple of times and she did NOT seem receptive to the idea. But today when I mentioned it, Maddie seemed excited about it…and not to be outdone by her sister, Lexi jumped on board as well. So I grabbed the package and put them in! Lexi even volunteered to go first. Got them all in both girls’ hair, used the blowdryer to speed up the process a bit….and then Lexi got upset when I told her it was time to take them out. She thought they were meant to stay in!! After some convincing, she said it was ok to remove them. Pictures you ask? Why of course I took photos!! Check ‘em out!
Miss Madison – still doing that funny face when I ask her to smile!!

Of course we HAVE to have a photo with Buzz.
Lexi Lou Who with her Farrah Fawcett do!!

I was actually quite surprised that she didn’t freak out when she saw her reflection in the glass (she uses the glass on the entertainment center as a mirror). But she did ask for barrettes so I put in a couple of clips for her and she was all set! :)
