Picture Day

So, we had picture day not to long ago. The kids were really excited. Since Katie doesn't really like to have her hair done (she has a bit of a tender head) we did a dry run the day before. Then we got the curling iron out and the pink bows for the actual day. We also had choices for what to wear for the pictures. She had two tops that she could pick from. Then she pulled out the shirt that she wanted. There was a little of the "No, your not", "Yes, I am" going on for about 30 seconds until I informed her that unless she was ready to cough up $29 for the pictures, I got to influence what was going to be worn that day. Since she had just spent all of her Birthday money, I knew I was safe.

Christian was easy. I pulled out a blue shirt he had never seen before and he was good to go.

Now just mind you that the temperature at school was 106 or so that day, but I still wanted long sleeves. Probably because I grew up in the Northeast and we were always in long sleeves by the time picture time came around. So of course, it just doesn't look right without them. That and I just couldn't find a short sleeve shirt that looked nice enough and that wasn't worn for last year. But I sent them with a change of shirt so that they wouldn't die of heat stroke more than normal. The good thing is, if they have to do retakes for some reason, it might actually be cool enough to wear a long sleeved shirt by then.
