The Power of Fruit Snacks

One the things that I always want whenever I take a picture is a picture of all of my children, all together.

I have bribed them with chocolate and candy, begged and pleaded with them just to sit still for a few minutes so that I can get the 'perfect' photo.
And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Then it happened, I gave them fruit snacks and they all sat down, together, to eat them.

Who knew, fruit snacks were the key?

So cute! Who knew?!

Awwww, aren't they adorable!! My kids are the same way with those things. In fact, I bought them a 10-pack last wkend and I told them when it was gone, it was gone...no more. They ate them all in an hour. It's like crack for kids.

T was so disgusted with Z when he was 1st born that our first Christmas, we had to photoshop the 2 of them together for our holiday card. Now it's hard to separate them.

You have more of a moving target!

I love Hayden's look.
He's tolerating their baby ways.

So, did they eat the ones that landed on the doormat, or did they impose the 3 second rule? Cute photos!

Great job, Mom! You just have to find their currency:-)

It is so hard to get good pictures of your kids. I get happy when I actually get one of them smiling. Both of them at the same time would be a miracle.

Mimi said...

I wonder if that would work for a 17 & 14 year old??

Emily said...

Love seeing them all together! Looks like someone spilt their fruit snacks though!

Never underestimate the power of fruit snacks.

They are my kids' favorite, too. And Michaela (who is 6)? Still asks for the Gerber toddler ones...

Yay for fruit snacks!!! Popsicles always do the trick for me. But then there are a lot of messy faces! But at least they are together!

Hope your summer has been good Jen....I've been traveling A LOT - blogging less - but all is happy.

:-)

Amen for the fruit snacks then...I will keep that in mind. That pic of them together is adorable Jen!

Carrie said...

haha it is a fabulous tool!!! One of the best photos I got of my three toddlers was when I bribed them with juice boxes.

so cute! in our house, it's the power of popcorn!

Sarahviz said...

At least they're somewhat nutritious though, right? I don't think my 3 boyz would pose for anything less than sugary candy!
