School pictures...

Today is picture day at school. My son is in 6th grade and it is his last year at elementary school. We were talking last night about school pictures and he and his sister started making silly faces and joking that they would do a silly face instead of smile this year. Weren't they shocked when I told them to do it! Their jaws dropped to the ground! School pics at our house have always turned out not-so-good... a weird smile, hair uncombed, eyes half-shut... you know..something that just isn't flattering, so I stuff one in the school album and throw the rest away. I take hundreds of pics of my kids every year, (don't we all) so not using school pics is not big deal to me.... so why not have fun! How COOL will it be in the school yearbook if my son has a really funny picture (on purpose this time!) I even wrote a note for him that said, "My son has permission not to smile for school pics, in fat he can make any face he wants". I made a note for my daughter too, but I don't think she will go thourgh with it... my son. Oh yeah. I can't wait to hear all about it this afternoon when I pick him up!
