How did you spend your morning????

This morning we had to take passport type pictures of all three kids for an application being sent to the British Home Office. One of the rerequirements is that the kids keep their lips closed and not smile.  This is not the easiest to do after kids have been told repeatedly to smile when the camera comes out! 

Here are some of our attempts along the way. Let' just say it took a long time:

Cute, but not acceptable: You are too happy for a British picture (you silly American!):

This is after we starting telling Addie to close her lips - too bad the lighting was bad as we were almost there!

A little nose picking along the way...

A little cheering ...

A little nose attending...

 

A few tears...

Some pouting...

 A few eyes closed...

We did finally get there in the end, and praise God the photo recognition software has accepted them all!
