Everyone Smile and Say.....TEQUILA!

I had been waiting for our family photo shoot for a few months now; I had selected outfits that all coordinated but weren't matchy-matchy AND were not based on a brown/beige or black/white color scheme...it was going to be perfect...I would finally be able to order my insanely large family photo canvas that showcased our little family of four, all smiles and giggles, effortlessly posed together, with the sun setting behind us and everyone looking so carefree and happy...and then family photo day came...and Little Guy decided he wasn't going to nap...and it all went down hill from there...here's a recap:  Little Guy decides he wants nothing to do with Mommy, Daddy, Mr. Wyatt Bear, or all the trains (we picked the train yard for a backdrop, thinking he would love it!) during our family photos. Little Guy decides fruit snacks aren't going to hack it for bribing him to say cheese.  Little Guy refuses to smile, let alone stop screaming, for more than three seconds.  Mommy decides she wants a drink. We continue with the photo shoot, attempting to get some shots with Mr. Wyatt Bear and Little Guy together, in a basket.  We fail at the basket photo.  Photo shoot is finished and the photographer attempts to comfort Mommy with an offer to redo the shoot if there aren't enough good ones to pick from.  Mommy can't imagine a crueler form of torture than to do this again.  Mr. Wyatt Bear falls asleep in Mommy's arms on the way back to the car.  Mr. Wyatt Bear wakes up in the car while we're sitting in the drive thru line at Panda Express.  Mr. Wyatt Bear screams.  He continues to scream.  He screams some more since we are in the WORLD'S LONGEST drive thru line. Little Guy starts screaming.  Mommy still wants a drink.  We get home, put two of the crankiest kiddos to bed, and Mommy eats her cold Chinese food.  And then Mommy and Daddy have a drink.  I think family photos with a toddler are now officially just an annual project....
