I understand why fame-hungry, attractive, twenty-something people do reality shows. It seems that the best way to score an US Weekly cover and demand lots of money for public appearances at clubs is to do some extremely embarrassing things on TV, so that the rest of us can't drag our eyes and ears away from the trainwreck.
But people with kids? And real houses? I didn't get it. Was it only for the money?
I had an ephiphany about their real reasons this Friday, when we spent the morning with some of our besties, Colleen, Brendan, and Lainey.
Those people with lots of kids that do reality shows? They just want the professional photographers around to get decent pictures of their families.
This was the first time Colleen and I really tried to get a picture of the four kids together, and it was a comedy of outtakes. Thank goodness for digital cameras, because there's definitely a lot of non-keepers!

So funny! We had pro family photos taken a few months ago and every time the photog raised the camera to her eye le toddler screamed STOP!
ReplyDeleteAll in all sounds like it was an enjoyable day =)
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Hopefully you got a few better ones than I did (I'm about as far from professional as possible.)
ReplyDeleteSo very enjoyable, just not recorded on camera :)
ReplyDeleteoh I totally agree, it's like I can never get any of my children to sit still anymore. Just can't. I tell them I have more pics of them before they were born because they were easy to capture then. LOL
ReplyDeletebut the pics you did get, what CUTIE PIES!
And of course when they were little and immobile, although those pictures usually involve drool and/or spit up!
