After seeing this paint fight on Meg Derksen’s blog a little bit ago, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for family pics this year!

My friend Stephanie came over and took them for me.

She did an awesome job!

The before shot.

I was trying to give everyone their paint and explain the rules again but SOMEONE did not think he should wait…

He likes to come to my rescue.

Sometimes.

He had no reason to attack me!

Maybe he had a slight reason.

I think we may have forgotten we had children a couple times…

We used clear ketchup bottles instead of jars and paint brushes.

I thought they would be more fun and easier to aim.

I thinned the paint a little too much but other then that it worked out great!

After.

I really psyched the boys up for the shoot.

So much so that the day of my oldest hugged me he was so excited.

Guess who was left to clean up…

We had a blast!

Thanks again Stephanie for coming over and documenting our hostile love for each other!
