I promised Luke that we'd do something special for him with the next foto friday day..He loves having his face painted.  So this is the photo I took just seconds before the battery died.  I would have loved to get one where he seemed a might happier, but oh well.  Now, he really does love his face painted.  He is sooooo good.  He sits there for seemingly sooooo long(in little boy's time) and gets soooooo sleepy.  I'm just glad this one he didn't dribble.  Oh...he's a robot..oh well, I try

Like funerals and weddings, cameras can bring out the best and worst of people.  Alyssa turns into a defiant and unco-operative minx, and Luke turns into a completely poseable figurine.

Yesterday, Luke was playing on my computer with his favourite game "Jump Start Explorers".  I took the opportunity to try and get a fairy dress on Alyssa and get some snaps.  I bought it for her last year, and have never been able to have it on her for more than 30 seconds.  I have found by telling her that it is Kelly's dress(a playgroup friend) she seizes the moment and wants to wear anything. (wicked)  So, she put on the fairy dress, and I didn't try too hard to make her pose, it's not her thing.  I got some nice shots, and then LUKE REALISED WHAT WE WERE DOING.  I quickly explained that I just wanted to get some girlie fairy like pictures and we'd do something special for him next time.  Luke and cameras....well, he loves them.  He couldn't resist trying.
