Today I was talking to my cousin on the phone and she said,
"If you don't come over with at least three bags full of stuff, something is wrong."
Lately I've been bringing such things as my own bowl, sugar, cream, and hand mixer to parties to make
my own freshly whipped cream to top my homemade desserts.
Or a bag of baking supplies to make from-scratch gluten-free brownies.
Or a rubbermaid bin and several bags of fun Photo Booth props to a Halloween party
....or to the library at church...
The Merz-Berries like to call themselves a family of exotic fruits.
You'll find that they are certainly a family of fun.
As we began, it was clear that one child was not afraid of the camera....(at all!),
and one who took a little longer to warm up and give a real smile.
Good thing I brought awesome props to get the fun rolling!
(On a closely related note - what is it with that age where your natural smile is great,
but your "Smile!" makes you look like you are terrified?)
On another closely related note, I am happy to bring these bags and bins of fun to your next party or photo shoot :)
