Everyone Say “Noooormal”

For the love.  For the sweet love my kids…especially Solomon…are in this super weird picture taking phase.  To get a semi normal looking human facial expression we have to have a Come To Jesus conversation…insert motherly stern voice…”Just make a normal face everyone”  “No, I said normal.”  “Solomon that is not a normal face.” “Nobody do anything weird with your hands.”  “Everyone just smile.”  “A normal smile.”  “Just try and smile a normal smile.”  “Someone help me.”  And to close my case I present to you Exhibit A, B, C, D, E and F.  I know that’s a lot of exhibiting, but really each piece of evidence could stand alone and I didn’t want to leave any of them out.

I would also like to say here that Solomon is the leader of the pack in weird faces and channeling his inner Ricky Bobby “I don’t know what to do with my hands?”  Leader of the pack.  He holds teaching seminars and gives tips on how to make a completely not normal face and how to look crazy handed.

Exhibit A:  I just don’t even know.  Amon looks straight up annoyed.  Sol is trying to pull his eye sockets down, which is totally normal.  Harper, well, I can deal with hers.  And Hudson looks like a creeper shooting me a sideways bird.

Exhibit B:  Now this one is slightly different than the above.  Amon’s going for the sly eyes.  Sol…again…pulling his eye sockets down.  #shocker  We can probably just skip Harper every time from here on out.  And whoa, Hudson looks again like an old creepy guy, but this time should be smoking and saying something like “Heeeeeeeeey.” (<—-say in your best creeepy guy voice) as a pretty lady walks by.

Exhibit C:  This one were going crazy and mixing it up.  Amon is now looking in the general direction of the camera which is a slam dunk in my book.  Sol is doing something new with his hands in this one.  Switching up the eye socket pull move.  He’s got a nice muppet mouth going on as well.  Remember were skipping Harper.  And OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH HUDSON AND WHY DOES HE KEEP GETTING CREEPIER WITH EACH PICTURE?????

Exhibit D:  This is our winner of the bunch.  Amon is channeling his inner Sol and lucky for us Sol went this time with his signature shooting guns.  Harper, I love her.  And hold the phone people…Hudson looks normal.

Exhibit E:  This one isn’t too bad either.  Amon’s going with a snapping affect.  Sol is sticking with his shooting guns.  Anyone else notice how committed Harper has been to trying to pull off the ole’ rabbit ears joke on Hudson?  And what’s this, Hudson has pulled out his own shooting guns now too.  Did not see that one coming.

And Exhibit F:  Amon, God bless him.  He’s just along for this wild “try to mimic whatever Sol is doing” ride.  Sol brought his guns in a little closer and added a pirate eye.  Nice combo.  Harper is still trying for the rabbit ears, but alas, they just get lower and lower and lower.  And Hudson, well, he’s only giving a half hearted shot at weirdness in this one and it’s safe to say we’re all glad he retired his creepy old guy look.

All in all, I would say we nailed it.  And I think maybe this one is our framer.

Happy Thursday!
