Really The Perfect Mother's Day Gift.....Really

All moms love pictures of their children.  We love to put them up in the house and gaze lovingly at pictures of our beloved little ones.  We just hate to drag the whole group in to the studio and get the pictures taken.  It's a nightmare, a necessary evil.

Please, please do this for us.  I don't even have words to tell you how big of a hero you could be if you showed up on Mother's Day morning with pictures of the children that mom didn't have to organize or schlep children to get.  You should be canonized if you do this.  Ladies, am I right?

You don't have to go anywhere fancy or spend a bundle.  Sears has all these great coupons for portrait packages starting at $7.99.  Cheap, cheap, dirt cheap.  Here are some tips to make your portrait experience go better and make you feel as if you have a clue in the portrait studio.

Oh, and guys, let's be honest here.  You have a difficult time dressing yourself.  Please don't try and dress the whole family.  That's what teenage daughters or sisters in law are for.  Let them handle the clothes.  Your wife will thank you for it.

She'll be thrilled.  You'll be the best husband ever.  You're welcome!

*I have not been paid for this endorsement.  I just would love, love, love to get this for Mother's Day.*

LOL--we haven't even managed a Christmas picture for the last two years. And that's with me doing the planning and such.

I assure you, there will be no photos of the children (or even one of all of them) for me for Mother's Day....

Of course, since we don't 'do' those holidays most of the time, anyway...

Hopefully you'll get your pictures. And are sitting out this weather safely, btw...

Yes, this is a perfect gift! You also came up with a good solution as to who would make sure the children are dressed properly and have their hair combed, etc. I shudder thinking about what my children would have looked like if left to my husband... Good thing my children are grown. :)

This is a great idea - I'm just mystified how a husband would do this and keep it a secret from his wife (especially if we're talking about a significant number of children). Maybe he could digitally organize and then print and frame some candid shots of various of the children doing cute things...?

The key is not the secret, but that she can just stay home and not have to do it.
