Not Me! Monday...Christmas Card Pictures!


I've wanted to participate in one of MckMama's Not Me! Monday for a while, but haven't because I'm not usually one to admit my imperfections.

In my last post, I posted some fun pictures of Addie laughing; we went to a neighbor's cotton field to take pictures to use for our Christmas cards this year.


I've already been asked how I got her to laugh and smile so much for those pictures. Well, it's getting harder and harder for me to get a genuine smile out of her and I have to get more and more creative with each photo shoot. If I ask her to smile, she gives me a big cheesy fake smile.

Okay, so here is the not me part... I most certainly did not go to extreme measures to get a real smile out of her. I would never do that. Those extreme measures did not include me encouraging her to break wind and then laugh about it. Addie & I would never laugh about something like that. Then, in the middle of our photo shoot in our neighbors field, she did not squat down and tell me that she had to go poo... Not my little princess.

Go check out MckMama's blog for more Not Me! Monday posts...you're sure to get a good laugh!

Too funny. I actually (accidentally) got a shot of my now 12 year old straining to go poop when I was snapping pics for our Christmas card when she was 2. It was in the days before digital cameras, and I died when I got the pictures back and saw that!
