Trade Off: Paint for Pictures

In October, we took our annual family photos, as we usually do, for our Christmas cards.

Billy was in charge of color selection.  He did a fantastic job picking the 2014 Ryder Cup colors.

(Post coming soon)

I was in charge of bribing, yes, bribing.  

Shamelessly bribing the kids.

Bribing them with whatever necessary to ensure they behaved, smiled, and refrained from fighting.

I brought with us the usual bribing mechanisms: capri suns, marshmallows, goldfish, chocolates, etc.

But the ultimate bribe was the Powder Paint Fight.

They knew, if they behaved, I would let them go bananas following the photo shoot with a super messy, super fun, and super awesome powder paint fight.

The photo shoot went great.

And they were repaid.

In full.

Enjoy the photos!
