Sigh. Some days I'm just not "on".

*Edited because I have to say that the pic of my 3 kids did not have that red cast until I put it on here. I will have to figure out what I'm doing wrong and repost it later.*

We went to my parents' house today to see my sister before she went back to college. The light was great for most of the day and I was dying to shoot some pics of the kids, but I just couldn't get it together. My other sister and I tried to get some of the babies but they kept crawling away and eating twigs and leaves. We really needed a couple more adults to help manage the girls. Later, I bribed my kids with candy, popcorn, and a DVD if they would let me photograph them, but by then, the sun was setting and I was still at 200 ISO. D'oh. Anyway, here are a couple to share since I have to post something today!

A rare shot of my three children together: Dade, Cassidy, and Chloe



And one of my niece Haylie, who desperately needed a nap at this point.



Here's another of Haylie. I like the background of this one a bit better. It was a different spot in the yard so the lighting had changed also. I wish you could see her face, but I kind of like it anyway.

That last shot is so sweet~I like that she is looking down; I think it sets a nice tone.
This is so fun!
