Why do I bother sometimes?

Brody & Maverick try on outfits for family pictures.  At 9 months old, Maverick is already perfecting the uncooperative role!

And because Maverick got to stick his tongue out, Brody wanted a picture where he got to stick his tongue out too!
We have a few events coming up that will require Brody & Maverick to be in nicer looking clothes. Well when they outgrow outfits so often I hate to invest a lot of money. As luck would have it, Easter, a Park wedding and our family pictures are all happening in a span of less than a month! Which means one outfit for Maverick and that's it, score! Brody is another story, but I'm savvy and I have that taken care of. So "Why do I bother sometimes?"...the question is what possesses me on a day after work when the kids get home at 5:50pm and we have dinner to get ready, mouths to feed, baths to take, story books to read, and boys to tuck in by 7pm and 7:30pm, why on Earth would I chose to play "dress up" and try on outfits for both boys to make sure they fit and photograph decently?? I don't know what it is about some kids, but Maverick does not want to have any part in getting shirts on, EVER! His outfit had 3 layers of shirts, what was I thinking? How can a string bean of an infant wiggle and flip around so ninja quick?! Did I mention that Brody must immediately take tags off just to try clothes on (which is a little annoying unless you plan to keep every item). Lesson learned. Thanks for "cooperating" boys! I have now noted that I indeed have 2 boys and so all future clothes will just be purchased and we will make them work without trying them on!
