These are the BEST kids ever, and let me tell you why!!!  I showed up right on time for our morning session at Ellington.  We got the kids out… I put them in position… ready to take the shot… and… RECORD-SCREECHING HALT.  I did not have my camera battery!!!  I was horrified!  I dug and dug in my backpack, but the spare battery was also MIA.  I was sweating bullets.  Fortunately, this sweet family was sooo understanding.  They waited patiently while my husband came to my rescue and delivered my battery (which had been left at home in my charger).  Needless to say, I learned a lesson.  I will always, always, always double check my bag before walking out the door!

Silly faces, bad knock-knock jokes, and of course the toot machine… just another fun afternoon with a kindergarten boy!  :)

I got to hang out with Maclaine on Saturday!  I’m not gonna lie, we had a rough start.  She did NOT want to have her picture taken.  No ma’am.  She just wanted to hop back in her car and head straight for the Franklin Rodeo parade.  So she pleaded her case to her mother, but her mother wouldn’t budge.

Since Mom was in no mood to negotiate, she went to Dad and begged him to remove her from this horrible picture-taking predicament.  But Dad held strong and wouldn’t give in, either.

I thought a lollipop might help, but you can tell from the look on her face that she was not accepting any bribes.

The pressure was almost more than she could take.

So she made sure that we weren’t being watched…

And she pulled it together long enough to show me her beautiful smile!  Happy Birthday, Maclaine!  :)
