that one time i tried to do a photo shoot

I saw this adorable book picture below on Pinterest and I thought "piece of cake." 

Ever heard of Pinterest fail? I set up a neat pile of hand-selected books that make me feel like my children are smarter just for owning them (humble, right?), and this is how it turned out...

Baby Girl knocked the pile of books over in two seconds flat and then proceeded to man handle poor Pipsqueak. Dreams were crushed, my friends. I got a few candid shots that made the shoot not a total disaster, but that's the last time I pretend to be a photographer.
