Hanging with the boys

I went from an all girls week in Sioux Falls to hanging with my best childhood friend and her adorably cute, polite, sweet boys in Minneapolis over New Years (don't worry, they've got a little sass in them too...). You think it's cold and snowy in Seattle...Seattle doesn't have anything on the Midwest. Face freezing, bone chilling cold. Which made photos a challenge...it's hard to see kids spirits in snowsuits, boots, hats and mittens. DeAnna had a plan though. Minneapolis has a great downtown library. Big, open, kid friendly. I've been really wanting to shoot in the library in Seattle...this was good practice!

Um, yeah, or you could show me the other eye...

Tom's hiding under the table to have his snack in case the "manager" comes to get mad at us. Oh buddy...it's going to be okay...

You know what the best part of the visit was...realizing that my friend, who I knew was a good mom, was actually a really really great mom. You might luck out and get one sweet, nice kid, but to get two takes real work and dedication...
