Photo Shoot Gone Wrong

We had everything going for us.  A slightly overcast morning at the beach.  Freshly bathed children that were not tired or (we thought) cranky.  Cute, matching outfits.

But.

Sometimes it doesn't work out like we plan.  Julia was fine, though she did have a hard time adjusting to the sun.  Clara?  Well, I guess I had better let the pictures speak for themselves.

Hey!  The sand!

The sun's pretty bright.

Oh, the sorrow

So pitiful.

Escalating.

Thinking she'd calm down if she got to hold Julia.  Nope.

This one is my favorite.  She's got that hand raised like "THIS IS TERRIBLE!  TAKE THAT CAMERA OFF OF ME!"

Yes, she actually got down to kick and scream.  She actually calmed down for about 30 seconds, it was pretty fun down there in the sand.

Julia, just looking on.

Clara, still at it.

Still at it and now mad because I had taken the dress off of her.

The tantrum started over her orange binky.  Then she didn't want to put on the dress.  Then she didn't want to take off the dress.

They don't call them the terrible twos because they are awesome!
