School Photos

The kids' daycare had school photos taken last month.  I put them in cute outfits, did their hair, instructed Kate to try really hard not to spill on her outfit (brought in a back-up outfit for Jack), and then crossed my fingers that they would turn out.  The problem with school photos is that you pay ahead of time and then you have no control on how they turn out.  You aren't there to try to make them smile, to fix their hair that is sticking out in strange directions or straighten out the wrinkles in their clothes. 

So last week the pictures arrived at home.  Kate's turned out okay.  Hair just a little messed up and smile just a bit fake :). 

She forgot to look at the camera during the class photo: 

Then I opened Jack's.  Apparently he was not a fan of the cameraman.  Very sad boy.  But at least his hair looks cute!

Class photo - slightly happier!

I sense many more years of mediocre school photos in our future!  But I will continue to order them every year and will proudly put them in their scrapbooks.  Because messy hair and sad faces aside, they are still the cutest EVER!
