Easter duds

That's what these photos are - duds.

It's okay, though, because I'm a not a perfectionist anymore.

There was some good light coming in the window one morning, so I thought I'd put the boys in their Easter outfits and try to snap some pictures. They did great getting dressed, and even started kissing and cuddling with each other before I moved them over to the opposite couch (hence the terrible backlight...but that's okay. I'm not a perfectionist anymore.)

They remind me of puppies sometimes - playing together by laying on top of each other.

Sometimes biting.

But no biting today. Just cuteness.

Love this one. PJ's face is so funny.

Everything was going just swimmingly, and I thought I'd even snap a few pictures of them individually, since PJ was turning one. I moved them over to the other couch for better light.

Now another one of them together.

But something was weird about Jack's eyes.

"Jack, what's wrong, honey? Does your tummy hurt?"

A mommy just knows when something's off, you know?

"Jack, look at Mommy." Hmmm...something's definitely not right.

And then I touched his face.

The poor kid was burning up. That quickly - over the course of about 10 minutes - the kid went from feeling fine to a fever of over 103, thus bringing our photo shoot to an abrupt halt.

You never can tell with kids.

But that's okay...
