As I am writing this, I am more annoyed with myself than I am at SS or this situation. Red Wings a while back got her hubby to stop the "cuddling/hugging" stepdevil cold turkey after she took a candid snapshot of him and her step-daughter sitting on his lap. After she showed it to him the hubby finally saw what it "looked like". They did not look like father and daughter, but an amorous couple.

It was a great idea and I had PLENTY of opportunity last night to catch both DW and SS "in the act". At long last, my "plan" (such as it were) to get a fit-for-the-tabloids shot of SS and DW started when when SS first walked in the door.

BIG LOOOOOONG HUG! The look on SS face was just the face I wanted DW to see...

I was ready. I take out my cell, get the camera app on, but damn it! All the lights were off and for some reason, my flash won't go off.

BD was changed and ready for bed and BS was busy choosing his pajamas. I help him out and come out of the bedroom to find that SS and DW have snuck off to the back porch. DW and SS were sitting next to each other with their arms around each other.

Oooh! Another paparazzi moment! I fumble for my cell again..."Oh this is perfect!" I think when suddenly....

"Dadda! Have to poo poo!" BD yells.

Dang! I have no choice but to tend to her because she is still in the process of being potty trained and if you don't run to tend to her, she'll drop her pacakage in her diapers.

So I help out BD. I go back out but now SS and DW are now inside doing their own thing. Two perfect opportunities missed! Oh well,...oh no wait! DW joins SS in his bedroom to have a chat with him. I peer through the crack in the door.

I don't think they are going to hug again are they? Nope...No....Oh wait minute....YES!!!!

I grab my cell. Another perfect shot!

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

I look up to find everyone; SS, DW, BS, BD and even the dog looking at me quizzicaly.

"Urm...I was...uh...playing a game...on my phone....And I lost...."
