This made me giggle too, the only way we can get our kids to stay and smile for a second is to yell "CANDY!" Too bad it only works until they figure out there isn't any. :)
Wife to Superman, mom to four fabulous kids, modern mormon woman (no pioneer dress required), runner in theory (improving in practice), reader of good books, teacher to preschool children, baker of kids' birthday cakes, sewer of Christmas pajamas, and recovering choc-o-haulic. Lousy gardner, mediocre cook, and a tardy procrastinator. Loves books, baking, flowers, snuggles, bedtime stories, the smell of baby shampoo, new shoes, fry sauce, microwaves, sweaters, and giggles. Doesn't love dishes, laundry, southern bugs, runny noses, mean people, people who swear, and people who speed in school zones.
Mike, the Dad
Sword fighting, hair brushing, bug squishing, computer fixing, cat feeding, bread winning, ball playing, romantic gift giving, melt-your-heart-dimple-smile wearing, hard working, MI Dude.
Lenna, practicing princess
Loves curlers, books, markers, stuffed toys, conversations, her cat, dresses, fairies, daydreaming, and accessories. Doesn't like bugs, loud noises, injustice in any form, or pointless homework.
Andy, super hero-in-training
Loves race cars, spiderman, balls, battles, and making messes. Doesn't like crayons, shoelaces, soap, or scary movies.
Rebecca, terrific and tyranical toddler
Loves peek-a-boo, kitty, buttons, and taking a bath. Favorite word: "Wow!" Doesn't love having her nose wiped, being left out, and not ruling the world.
Elizabeth, Queen of Drool
Happy. Dimples. Slightly soggy. Loves bananas, cheerios, and spoons. Doesn't like diaper changes, socks, or carseat buckles.

I SO love that you documented all of the work that goes into a happy family picture. I got a great laugh out of this...and I love the title, too.

Put your Mom in the middle & have her hand out candy! It is challenging isn't it? I have 7 nephews that Always pull faces in photos. It's impossible.
