Getting this picture taken was about as easy as herding cats.

1st kid is showing his "cheese" face and 2nd kid had just finished spilling most of a bottle of water down herself. Classic.

AAAhhh!! You, Ellie and MNM have succeeded in doing what no one has ever done before... making me wish I lived in freakin Texas!!

And I love the "cheese" face. It's all I ever see on my 2nd kid anymore but it's so cute! They're all so cute. Aaahhh!

So sweet!

Kiwi 1st kid's cheese face is better than Mo's cheese grimace. His teacher sent home some pictures of him in his Thanksgiving hats and he was striking a GQ pose with a face like someone getting his fingernails pulled off.

Gah! I think the Little Miss was probably puking when this one was taken. Stupid stomach bug...

Ellie, I love the protective hand Vampire has on Banshee. He takes good care of Alex?

Wait, how did I miss this? Dude, I love me some 1st kid. That kid is destined for public relations. He is really that cute...so when he's my senator or something, I can remind his mother that he used to tell me what videos he had at home. Second kid was too busy running amok and enjoying the animals to pay much attention to the lady with the strange new children.

HBD - He's a good guide when he feels like it. On Halloween, he kept leading Alex through people's bushes, so I had to turn Alex over to AlphaGeek to keep him from landing face-first in an azalea (I was pushing the stroller, not strolling casually while MNM's husband did all of the work, although I did sort of hand my kid over to him on Thanksgiving. Sorry, AG!).

PS: With MNM's kids there, we could have had a United Colors of Benetton ad. We are going to have to get all of these kids together and film a commercial or something. Little Miss and 1st Kid can be the spokeskids. It'll sell millions. Of whatever. Grape Juice? Yogurt? Sneakers?
