Photo Monday – Fathers’ Day

I took the girls to a pottery painting place to make something for their father. E chose a picture frame so V had to choose the exact same picture frame. There were 3 or 4 different ones but nope. Same frame. Then, E chose colors for her frame: blue, yellow, red, and black with white pieces in it. So V got the same yellow and black. I got her to at least switch up the shades of red and blue and she added pink to her selection. Very well coordinated frames…

At first, I was going to put their school pictures in there. Those are the only recent printed pictures I have. Everything else is in digital form!  But then, I decided to leave them blank and try to get some cute father-daughter pictures. Black and white so that the colors wouldn’t compete with the frames. (And because that means I don’t need to get the girls to wear non clashing outfits.) Easier said than done. M decided to lounge on the rooftop while the girls and I looked at him like he was nuts. I did get them all together for a little while but honestly, at that point, my head wasn’t in it. I noticed a strap coming apart on her dress and it was stressing me out. We went out for gelato after dinner but it was so hot I just couldn’t ask them to stick around outside for pictures. Sometimes, no, often, I’ll have an image of how I want things to go and it just doesn’t work out.

This one isn’t black and white because it needed the color. It just did.

I hope M finds something he likes here. Otherwise, he’ll have to wait…
