Dottie's photography . . . now taking reservations for your wedding

We've hit an all new low of desperation for when we're in the car as a family. The traffic here in San Antonio is amazing. By amazing I mean it makes me nervous, it makes Joe less than his usual calm self, and my kids pick up on this anxious energy and decide to scream.

Toys don't work. Food doesn't work. Cell phones don't work. So what do I do? I hand over my digital camera to Dottie. The results:




That red thing is a Chuck E. Cheese balloon that my kids were fighting over.



The next day, we were at a Taquiera (I don't know how to spell it. But a Mexican taco shop.), my kids were getting bratty again, so in desperation, once again, I pull out my camera for Dottie's use. I gave her a few pointers this time, and I think the results were much better:

Elliot thinks he's taking a picture of Dottie while she's taking a picture.

I like this one because Joe looks kind of ticked off. Probably because he was. Our children can try one's patience.
Elliot took this one.

This is what happens when you take a sick kid out to eat.

Taqueria. Love them. Try Yorky's on military drive, you can see it from my back door.
Music and magnadoodles is what helps us through traffic, and not all the time! This is why we live on base!

Some of those pictures aren't too bad! The rest? I think we'll hire a photographer for Carolyn's wedding! Love those crazy kids!

I liked the Walgreens shot- very artistic! I'm sorry San Antonio traffic is such a pain. Ugh. At least your kids are adorable.

Jack loves my camera phone too. Sometimes it is the only way I get any peace when we are out and about.
