With so much going on in the daily schedule, I totally forgot that Jack's 7th grade picture day was right around the corner. It was the night before and I had no outfit planned. What was this kid to wear? I dug thru the closet thinking there has got to be a new button down shirt somewhere. Score! I pull it out and get ready to iron. Then I take a minute to look at last year's photo and the year before. *@!? (expletive) - he wore that shirt last year. Now what?
Jack was sent to school with a crisp, new navy blue Hollister t-shirt. Not what I had in mind but it speaks to this stage of his life more than an old man button down shirt. Right?
Kate has her kindergarten picture tomorrow. The above story was not going to happen again. Or was it? Went to the mall and picked out a lovely pink blouse/top at the Gap. Super cute. Brought it home and I have to admit the neckline wasn't quite right. Dug thru everything else in the closet. Color wasn't right, too casual, too dressy, etc. I think we settled on a hand-me-down top from Grace/Emma. Navy blue tunic with some white stitching at the top. She likes it, I like it.
I looked at her daycare pictures from the last couple of years and I remember picking out her tops last minute. And I have to admit I love every single picture. I remember one year I had Jack and Matthew photographed professionally. I think Matty was a baby. We were pretty much done, Jack was back in sweats. The photographer had a couple of shots left so she snapped some pictures of Jack. Clearly one of my favorite pictures to date. Go figure.
