Picture Day

Lessons I learned today:

1. NEVER take your kids to Fantastic Sams on 5600 West to get their hair cut. Especially the day before Family Pictures.
2. NEVER take the last appointment of the day.
3. NEVER make an appointment that interrupts dinner.
4. NEVER arrive late to said appointment.
5. NEVER go to a cheaper studio (i.e. Target, Wal-Mart, JC Penny, Sears) if you want a nice, relaxing session.
6. NEVER give a sleepy child M&M's while driving to the appointment (unless you want to make a fashion statement with chocolaty drool!).
7. ALWAYS remember that although it is hectic, it will be well worth it.

I am so thankful we have a way of capturing children just as they are - tomorrow they will be different than they were today and I'd sure hate not having those perfectly imperfect pictures. What an adventure. I'm glad it's over...until next time anyway!
