March Doodle days

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

Fortunately March is a long month. Perhaps thats the reason for so many Doodle birthdays?? At any rate, we have cause for celebration in March along with several of our Doodle friends. And as Jarka already mentioned, there are a few on the same date. Daphne is now a big 2 year old and Lucy just turned 5.

Daphne & Lucy are Mother & daughter and their birthdays fall so close to each other (March 1 & 6) we decided to celebrate them together on one day.  Now I know there are those that say, "don't do it, let them each have their own day". I didn't listen when my human children had close birthdays (October 1 & 16) and Im not listening now either. Although next year, I probably will take separate birthday pictures. Its just too much work to get them both doing what I ask at the same time! (Laurie, I know you feel my pain!) 

Here in Florida, we had a horrible week of nothing but rain and grey overcast skies. I knew THOSE would be horrible pictures so I decided to wait for a beautiful blue sky day. I had such elaborate plans in my head and just knew the pictures would be perfect. We got the Doggie cake and balloons and got ready for our party and "glamour shots"! HA!

Daphne and Lucy have such very different personalities. Lucy is the sweet girl who just wants to love and be loved. She will do whatever I ask and wear whatever silly costume I want her to wear without complaint. She just simply refuses to look at me or in the direction of the camera. It doesn't matter what goofy noise I make or how high pitched my scream is, she does her best to just look in the other direction and act bored! This is the best I could get of the two of them together. She is only "slightly" looking away.

Then there is Daphne, or as my DD calls her the "Perfect Princess"! Double HA! Daphne saw the balloons in the car on the ride home with them. She wasn't too happy with them but not really distressed either. I gave her time to get used to them and let her sniff them all she wanted. Everything was fine..until the wind started blowing just enough to make those balloons move.. Daphne saw those Doodle eating Balloons get closer to her and decided she had had enough!

She left Lucy to enjoy the festivities on her own.

I did get some pretty cute individual pictures after many, many tries!

I then decided to go another route and just take pictures without the birthday girls.

They looked so unhappy, I decided to give it another try. As you can see, I had to move those Doodle Eating Balloons far, far away from the "Princess"!

FINALLY! The torture has ended and we get to eat the cake!

Daphne & Lucy would like to wish all the March Doodle babies a "Very Happy Birthday"!!!

Oh I love this.  Could they be prettier in pink?  Happy Birthday Lucy and Daphne!

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

Thank you all so much for the sweet comments. Everytime I try to take their  picture, I am reminded why it costs so much to go to a photographer! I always think it will be easier than it ever is!

Laurie- when Lucy looks at me, its only because DH is standing behind me holding a treat over my head. She is sooo over having her picture taken! And DH is only somewhat better at his helper skills!

Lonnie- Got those Birthday glasses at Hallmark. Only bought one pair though because I know Daphne won't wear them!

F- Just in case I forget- Happy Birthday Luca! Are you busy planning his party yet??
