Took these kids downtown today to put my camera back in action...it's been a few weeks since I've used it creatively.

I'm a bit rusty. My exposure was off and I was feeling limited.
Then I realized it may be because I was downtown, with four kids, with vehicles in each direction driving by and that was a bit distracting in itself.

They didn't seem distracted, in fact, they had an end goal in mind: The Candy Vault. Downtown's very own classic candy store. Good bribing material.

Gwendolyn in her goldilocks...love the reflection in this historic window! Such a beautiful day today.

Meet Bee. This would be what this boy looks like all day long: TROUBLE. Anyone who personally knows Bee knows that tongue out means doing something wrong. Here he attempts to cross the street, alone. That would be why I was a bit distracted, you see...it's the Bee.

(notice his stature as well?)

Oh, I wanted so badly to capture a perfect photo of all three of my children, so far, it's been nothing but impossible! I do enjoy witnessing the love these boys have for their Sissy, though. Bee is pretty much saying, "I love her so much it hurts" with that expression.

There's always room for next time...maybe I'll use another form of bribery as The Candy Vault caused anticipation sillies and wiggles that resulted in a lot of crazy kid photos!
