Punk(’d)in’ Tradition

We have a tradition of “pumpkin pictures”–our family in front of our house with our pumpkins in the fall. I don’t know why, really. We just do. (It started with the dog, boo hoo.) But this year we got punk’d by our own punkin’ laziness–forgot to take pictures before we left our pumpkins out on Halloween night, not caring that they’d get smashed because then we wouldn’t have to carry rotting pumpkins to the dumpster. (Don’t you know my motto? “Above all, I’m lazy.”) So all we had left was our little ones.
Not my favorite family picture, but not bad. But I think this one is more natural.

Her future’s so bright . . . it makes up for her crooked face?
Ironically, this tradition rather resembles the dreaded Porch Step Pictures my brother and I and our two cousins were annually forced to endure. AJ’s cousin had better steer clear of here in the fall.
Nice pics! Have you and Erin talked photography at all? I know she really enjoys it and you seem to as well. Anyway, I was quite happy I did not have to take our rotting pumpkins to the trash as well
Come on, confess, the 4 cousins are actually happy to have those snippet snapshots of life in the 80’s—good times!!
Sweet picture on your porch steps!!
