We went to California last week on a family vacation, and naturally we took a lot of family photos while we were there. The only problem? The kids were a nightmare for all the photos. They’re over the fact that mama has a nice Canon camera and don’t want to sit still for even one nice family photo. You want to see?
I want to take this opportunity to announce my retirement from parenthood.
The end.

Hello there! I'm Allison Czarnecki, founder + editor of Petit Elefant, a blog all about style on a budget for every part of your life: style / home / travel / family. I do a lot of how-to beauty + style tutorials, travel posts, easy recipes, home remodel projects, and cool DIY crafts you totally want to try. I'm super happily married (to a hot Polish immigrant) and am the mother of two kids, a daughter and son, all of whom are featured here on the regular. We live in the country but we're a little bit rock + roll. Welcome!
i haven’t read a blog post that made me laugh this hard in a while! nice. i feel ya.
So glad it made you happy. It was a grumpy moment.
perhaps well behaved children are overrated.
i wish i knew.
Ha! Well. I don’t actually know, but I’ll take the ones I’ve got.
not only the kids, well the kids are cool ;) the light is horror ;)
The light was actually pretty, but the sun was in fact in their eyes.
Seriously. Not that bad. Try to keep boys from wrestling whenever you want them to sit still. But I love the pics! These are the ones you remember and cherish. And I love your hubby trying to calm the kids down.
See what fun you can have when you add captions.
1. Look Ma, Two fingers! (thank goodness)
2. Put your fingers down before I cut them off
3. Now everyone, smile NICE!
4. Put those hands down before I knock you into the ocean!
5. Are you done YET?
Those captions are perfect! I guess this is what makes sites like Awkward Family Photos worth reading though, right?
Your husband’s deteriorating patience is the BEST PART.
There were other photos, and it didn’t get any better. Hysterical.
I love it! Thank heavens for digital cameras, otherwise I’d never have any good ones!
Seriously, with these Monkeys it would be an entire scrapbook filled to the brim with them making ridiculous faces. sigh.
To get all 3 of my kids looking at ME – the camera – is the hardest task EVER!! I usually take 400 photos per pose!!
