Blue Bonnett Pictures

 Here in Central Texas we get lots of wild flowers in the spring.  (Yes, I know summer is almost over...)  Most families have a tradition to get pictures of their kids in a field of blue bonnets, which is the most common wild flower.
 One day while picking up Ollie from school, I decided we would stop and take some pictures in the field.  The kids were not too happy...  The sun was much too bright to look at Mom.  Claire refused to not have her purse.  Lily wanted to hold a bunch of yellow flowers.  Katie was needing a nap and not happy Mom wasn't holding her.  Ollie wanted to run and play.
 And of course there is the choice of attire for these wonderful pictures...  Two of the kids are still in their pajamas... at 3:00pm.  :)
 You must love the faces, if they even look at the camera


 Here's a cute one... minus the cute Ollie.  :)  Oh well, we tried.

A funny side note...  After I got done taking these pictures a friend stopped by with her four children.  They are the exact same ages as mine (or pretty close).  They were clean.  And matching.  And had props for pictures.  They were not in pj's.  I'll leave you to guess whose pictures turned out better.  :)
