The feeling of the day has been patience...my kids have it (for the most part). I put together a southern-engineered backdrop stand tonight, made from PVC pipe and a bedsheet. I had fun configuring the pieces I had cut at Home Depot, and even more fun trying to talk the boys into sitting for me so I could see if it would work. ;)

I had them a little too close to the backdrop but I think it will work for my purposes. I can use it at work for sure, with the little ones. I can't wait to try it out for Mother's Day portraits! :)
