Most of the time I
use my camera for the greater good…you know, capturing memories that I can look
back on years from now that give me a glimpse into what our lives were like
when our boys were young.
Everyday moments of the boys...being best-buds...acting silly...and having fun with the simplest of activities...
And then today, I took my role as photographer to a sinister
level.
At first my intentions were absolutely pure in that I wanted to celebrate their upcoming milestone birthdays with an impromptu photo shoot. Five and three seem like such big numbers to me, especially since in less than three weeks Owen will be starting kindergarten.
I found the photo idea on pinterest and at the time thought
that the boys would love dressing up like superheroes AND of course anytime
balloons are involved the boys always seem to have a blast.
So even though the pictures are absolutely adorable…I’m
completely wicked in that I totally plan on using these pictures as blackmail
against the boys for the REST OF THEIR LIVES!
Come in late from curfew…these will come out and be shared
with friends, family members, complete strangers.
If I ever allow for them to get on any type of social media
in the future (facebook) and they become naughty or break rules…these pictures
will be posted as their profile pictures.
Perhaps I’ll even get t-shirts made with the pictures on the front and if they are really bad as punishment they will be forced to wear these to school.
Yup, evil is truly my middle name!
