Rule #1 in photography: Do not take pictures with your subjects blocked by shadows.
That’s a fine rule in theory, but when you are rushing to get a shot uploaded for the day, and the neighbor’s Mom is calling the kids in to supper, well, rules are ignored and poor pictures are taken.
Oh yeah – for the record, I’m not the only one breaking a rule. Charlie is wearing a kick-boxing helmet as a bicycle helmet, so there.

Lenore's Thoughts Exactly 
Ummmm…I just want you to know that I blame YOU for the helmet, and not Charlie.
Ummmm… No! He has a real bike helmet, but he always grabs the kick-boxing helmet. And they don’t even kick-box! Neighbors gave those to us, because their kids outgrew ’em.
Forget the shadows, Lenore, this photo is adorable. It’s hard to get a group of youngun’s to stay still long enough to take a picture.

Excellent point, Maxi. Thank you. 🙂
I agree with Maxi. You got five to hold still without silly faces, closed eyes, etc. It’s a miracle.
“It’s a miracle!” Like Maxi, you make a great point. Thank you, Patti!
Appropriate head gear for the shadow monster.
