School Pictures

Here are the girls pictures from school this year:

A few years back I made the decision not to do the whole "school picture" thing.  They never turn out and are outrageously expensive.

Guess what?  I bought school pictures this year.  We were so busy this Fall that the convenience of having the pictures done at school won out over my better judgement. 

Guess what?  The pictures were overpriced and turned out horribly.

Guess what?  Both girls had to do re-takes

Guess what?  By the time you have your original picture taken, wait for the pictures to be sent home, decide they are unacceptable, what for re-take day to roll around, have the pictures re-taken, and wait again for the re-takes to come in, you pretty much are getting the pictures in December.

Guess what?  Even after re-takes, you aren't really crazy about the pictures and the weird angle they tell your kids to hold their heads, but at least they are better than the original.

Guess what?  You should definitely skip doing pictures at school next year.  It really wasn't that "convenient."
