okay.
so this was my mom's (really good!) idea.
let's coat the boys in lotion, then flour, then have them pose as italian sculptures!
but, it was freezing cold (we totally thought 70's would be warm enough!) and the wind kept blowing the flour into their eyes.
and the flour wasn't white enough.
but hey, mama and nanny had a greaaaaaat time!

hahahaha, real life.
