The story behind the story

Sure, sure... we've all heard the line that a picture is worth a thousand words. But it's equally true that sometimes a picture just doesn't do justice in portraying a particular scene. Such was the case Saturday night when we tried to get five cousins to sit still for what is likely the last photo before Larson grandchildren #6 enters the fray.


Above is the best of the "good" photos. I'd promised the kids our usual deal: sit nice for a photo, and then we'll take a goofy photo. They've got the crazy poses down to an art form.


But really, that's just part of the story. The far more entertaining portion took place immediately prior to the picture-taking, trying to get all five onto the couch in the first place. Here's a 40-second glimpse of the fun.


... and, Smile!

Sooner or later they'll learn. When cameras come out in this family, it's futile to resist. It's far faster and easier to grin and bear it, and then get back to whatever it was you were doing.
