School Pictures

Well, it is that time of year again when we get the kids school pictures back...we send them to school with their hair all combed (moused and sprayed in Tylers case) and a few weeks later we get the pictures back. Nicholas' came back first and no it is not the "best" picture of him but the only thing worse then picture day is retake picture day:) There is a dark shadow on his hair and it looks kinda stupid..lol (I can say that since I am his mom and he will never read this:) His hair is now much longer and fuzzier since he will not let me cut it since he wants LONG hair...I have no idea if he is going for pig tails or what but it is not good. According to him PARENTS are the only ones who do not like it as EVERYONE else does. So what he is trying to tell me is kids under the age of 16 think sun bleached-choride hair is good:)
Now to Tyler...he also was letting his grow...we have since cut some off. We got up in the morning and dried it with a blow dryer and used mouse and spray. The pictures I got back look like he has greasy hair...IT WAS CLEAN!! He did not have a plain white T Shirt as Nicholas took permant markers and drew GO NORTH all over a shirt...put it in the laundry and it bled all over Tylers white T Shirt so we had to wear one with a pattern WHICH WAS NOT SHOWING when he left in the morning. But looking at Tylers picture have you ever seen a bigger smile. He obvoiusly LOVED getting his picture taken even though his hair looked goofy and his T Shirt showed underneath.
So as a mom who took time to actually plan for picture day (and spent $60.00) I realize this is what school pictures are all about:)
