Today is picture day for the girls at school.  They were flitting and fluttering around the house last night, getting their clothes organized and trying to decide what jewelry to wear, how to fix their hair, etc. etc.  It was girlie-central, for sure!  Thank goodness the boys were gone to a Cub Scout meeting.

Last night, I asked JD to call the school in the morning, to see if our homeschooled son could get his photos taken, too.  The school that the big girls attended in Utah let us bring the two little ones over on picture day, so I could have photos that were all the same background for all four kids.  It’s nice to be able to have the same photograph formats for all four kids – especially at holiday card time!

So, by the time the dad-person woke me up this morning, he and the son-man were already dressed up and ready to head to the school – they were happy to accomodate us and got the manly-man in for pictures immediately! 

He is normally very photogenic:

Though, the dad-person tells me that his smile in this year’s photos will look more like this:

Not a problem!  I’ll have much more fun with the photos when the kids get older.  Is always good to have something to blackmail them with when…say, their first date comes to the house!
