This Is What Happens When

I'm stealing this idea from my friend Debbie. She did a post like this awhile ago and as I looked at these pictures, it is what came into my mind.

This is what happens when you have a grandma who loves her flowers and is proud of them and wants to get a picture with my kids in front of them when they had all been asleep in the car only minutes before. Annie wouldn't even go in the picture, Carlyn posed readily, and Darren tried to run away and do something that would give Grandma a heart attack. This wasn't so bad, but look at the colors of those flowers. They are beautiful. I wish I had my Grandma's green thumb instead of the black one I got.
This is what happens when Carlyn is the oldest great grandchild on Rick's side. She loves to hold the other cousins. This is little Brayden that she would have held all night.
This is what happens when Annie finally warms up to people at a family party of people she didn't know very well. She won't look at anyone but me for a long time and then she's best friends with someone, in this case it was Aunt Geneal.
This is what happens when I start snapping pictures. Ha ha even Branden got in one.

This is what happens when 2 of grandma Linda's cousins come in from out of town to see family. They love the little kids and you can't get them all looking at the camera at once.
This is what happens when it is time to go home and great-grandma tries to hold squirmy D.
This is what happens when we should have left 10 minutes ago.
This is what happens when you are a mom who does your kids hair. Occasionally they want a turn to do yours back. Carlyn kept commanding me to not move my head and would jerk it back to center even though I hadn't moved. She was very proud.
This is what happens when 2 sisters play storytime just like at the library. I love this one!

This is what happens when it is a nice day and Annie wants to be just like Mommy pushing a stroller with her baby and I anticipated that Carlyn would want the same so we had a stroller brigade on the way home from preschool.
This is what happens when I put Darren in his booster to get him out of my way while I was making dinner and I put him too close to the counter with the tomatoes on it. Sure he made a huge mess, but I figured he was eating veggies so I didn't care.
Again, this is what happens when you do your kids hair. Carlyn found the hair bag and got Annie to sit still for much longer than I ever could! She even took pictures of it in the "hairdo spot."
