It was my favorite time of the year, picture time!!!! Every since Jory became a big brother this event has become it's own ball of fun. And yes, I'm being sarcastic there. The first picture undertaking with TTT gave me my first feeling, that was unknown to me at the time, of wanting to strangle someone. I walked out of that photo session thinking Rowan owes her life to that photographer.
This year, I wasn't sure what to expect. We were taking pictures at night, so after a long day. We were doing it on Good Friday and with Jory's injured foot. It could be a disaster, but it couldn't be any worse than past years.
I decided to cut out the middle man this year so they got dressed in all their Easter finery at home. I wasn't sure if I was returning the girls' shoes so they had to put on whatever slip-on shoes they had since they couldn't walk around in their church shoes. Hairstyles done and matching and we were out the door.
We were late for our an appointment, but it's not easy carrying a six-year-old while trying not to wrinkle his suit. We didn't wait too long and in we went. The girls took their individual pictures first, then Jory. The photographer was great and got some great shots.
As we walked to the car, it dawned on me.....I didn't feel the urge to strangle anyone, not even once. Yippee!!! A first. A first in our picture taking in years. I think my babies are growing up.
And the proudness continued as I took the girls' dresses off before they got into the car because they were light colored and I didn't want the evening to go downhill. Plus the dresses not only stay cleaned, but don't get wrinkled any further.
Everyone was rewarded with a sundae from McD's for such good behavior. This getting older thing has its upsides.
