The Trials and Tribulations of School Picture Day

As a parent we know how cute our kids can be. So on picture day we try to help them show the world how cute they can be. We watch all week and hope that they can make it to picture day without hurting their faces, we get their haircut and style it so nicely, we pick out a outfit that looks nice yet still looks like them. We do all these things in hopes that when we pass out their pictures everyone says "Oh what a nice picture". Now I know all of you are thinking what seems so hard about this? Seems easy enough.... Well let me tell you. You can do all of these things but you have no control over one thing. Their smile. For some reason you put a camera in front of their sweet little faces and they distort it into a mix between a smile and a creature you have never seen. So now we wait for the pictures to come back and we hope that they don't look like this.....

Or heaven forbid they show their true personality and bust out with something like this...

Wish us luck!!!!
