playtime July 15, 2007

Me and Adrian decided to play with the camera.  Actually, i used the camera as a diversion so he would leave the other two alone.  Pumpkin was on the couch armrest and Adrian wanted to take a picture of him.  Then we moved on to Snowflake/Snowball  and it was hilarious because every single time she would close her eyes.  There’s like 7 shots of her, we even turned the lights off and tried a sneak attack but still her eyes stayed shut!!  My favorite are the ’silly’ pictures, which are really the best ones to take, before they’re too old and too self concious to have fun.  here are my favorite ones :
