Last weekend the boys and I hit a local museum, called Origins. It is a temporary museum in the Shoprite plaza until the end of November. The museum is spilt between historic Bibles and science. The boys of course, were fascinated by the dinosaurs. Most of the displays that Mommy would have liked to have read were glanced over in favor of the boys interests. We lucked into going on a free day and Landon took lots of pictures. He will definitely take his Daddy there over the Thanksgiving break. The desk where the docents were working is the largest single piece of petrified wood. There were also first editions of Watson & Crick's work, works by Darwin, Linnaeus, Copernicus, solarsystem models, Dead Sea Scrolls, Illuminated texts, a meteorite, and more. It is an awesome little museum, expecially for here in Wasilla.
So this Saturday I had a little time and I thought I would work on Christmas photos of my boys for their Christmas cards and perhaps for advertising my holiday sessions. Grayson is always more than willing to model and is very excited about "kissmas". However, he wanted his stuffed tiger to be in all the photos. Landon, on the other hand, was not interested in Christmas photos but wanted to model his Halloween outfit that did not arrive until the day after (yay, Alaskan life). It actually fit pretty well with one of my new backdrops so I thought we would give it a try. They turned out okay, but needless to say, did not have the holiday atmosphere I was going for. We will have to do official holiday photos when Daddy is home. Why is it so hard to photograph your own kids?
