why do i do this to myself?

it all started out nice, which then led to.....

okay, just one more smile....

then they give me this look.....

and this is where we ended up...


all i know is, it IS hard work to take pictures of kids. one kid, not too bad, two, kinda manageable and three girls, out of the question!!! remind me never to want to do this as a side job! can you tell from my expression and my obvious hand signal how i am feeling????
