School Pictures

Last month Mae and Caleb came home with the proofs from the school pictures that had been taken. The sad thing is that we don't like them. Not a one. Both of their smiles look fake and nothing like how they normally look when happy and smiling. The other sad thing is that we have decided not to buy any. The prices of the packages, coupled with the available sizes in each package were not worth it. We don't want a gazillion wallets (or smaller sizes) and we don't need a plethora of 8 by 10's. So we opted to buy none. I console myself with the fact that we take plenty of pictures of the kids during the year. And we have also decided that we will take a group photo (of the kids) taken after the holidays to make up for the fact that a) we didn't purchase school pics and b) we haven't had a group shot of the kids in over two years. Yeah, it's about time.

But tomorrow is picture day at Isabel's school. I already know that we won't be buying any. Besides, if she is anything like how her sister was at the same age, then she won't want her picture taken (and will refuse) anyway. But I still need to have her looking nice and pretty, for their will be a class picture taken. Besides, I took a picture of Isabel the other day after she had her hair cut. I think it can pass for a nice solo picture. Don't you think??
