playing with the camera

Typically don't let the boys get anywhere near my baby (aka the new dSLR), but we let each of them shoot a few pictures tonight before bed.

Captured Elliott's need for attention lately with these - always wanting to be the funny guy. Here he's imitating a scene from Night at the Museum 2, where "the thinker" statue is showing off to a girl and flexing his muscles saying "boom! boom!......Firepower!!" The boys say this at least 5 times a day lately.

It should be noted here that the boys sang at church this morning....you know, on the stage in big church in front of everyone at the busiest service? Yeah. So Elliott made sure to get a spot right by one of the microphones and thought it would be incredibly funny to tap on the microphone and say "blah, blah, blah" into the microphone and laugh instead of doing anything that resembled singing the song he was supposed to be singing. This little antic landed him a grounding since I was sitting directly in front of him telling him to stop and he did not even pretend to care. WHY?????? Several people asked about his welfare at church tonight.....hmmmmmm

Ethan took this shot. I did a little photoshopping but he did great considering no heads were cut off or anything! Amber told me about her friend braiding her bangs back so I tried that tonight when we went to Ovations. I was so excited when one of the high school girls commented on it - feeling hip again (thanks Amber and Christine!) I let BJ be in the picture too since he's still got a little hipness left in him :)

Good job Ethan! I like those muscles Elliott - I believe they are getting bigger.
