Picture Ramblings..

We had a nice weekend but I am not sure where it went. Saturday, Sissy and I went on our first official shopping trip together while the boys attended the downtown festivities. I had a great time piddling around with Abby and found several great buys for Will at the Children's Place. They had a $1.99 rack (winter clothes of course) and I got him several things. You know me and bargains.

Yesterday, I felt like I spent all day (mentally and physically) getting ready for our 4:20 picture appointment. After a lot of going back and forth, I finally decided a couple hours before we were suppose to leave that I wanted a family shot as well. This of course changed my outfit selections and added a bit more pressure to the getting ready part of the day. So between trying to time Sissy's naps just right (which didn't work), getting our clothes ironed, getting everyone bathed and ready, getting to Portrait Innovations on time, waiting 45 minutes to get our picture taken, trying to keep Sissy and Will happy while we waited.....we were all worn out. There were several moments through out the day that Brian and I both almost said forget it. We just never realized how much work went into getting professional pictures taken. However, it was well worth it. You live and learn and I will do several things differently next time like get the first appointment of the day (no wait time) and plan out the outfits a little sooner than 2 hours prior to leaving. Overall though....not bad for our first family photo. Here are some of my favorites.
