School Picture Season

Today I was handed a school picture reminder flyer for the kiddo that I go to school with.  It got me thinking about school pictures that I have from my childhood, and my girl's school pictures.

I don't have any pictures to post for them.  I will have to look thru our picture bin and get some scanned into the computer.

I do love school pictures because we give them to our family at Thanksgiving.  It is fun to see the differences in the girls from year to year.  It doesn't seem like they have grown and changed a lot, but when you see last years picture compared to this years picture it really points out the changes.

I have school pictures from when my nieces and nephews were little, and my girls love to see what their older cousins look like when they were similar ages as my girls are now.  I will have to get those pictures out and post some of them to their Facebook pages.

I do love that you can pick from a large variety of backdrop colors and themes, and you can pick a different option for each sheet of pictures.  It can be a little bit overwhelming with all of the choices and then I have to remember what I picked so I the girls don't wear clashing colors on picture day.  

Luckily our school doesn't do school photos this early in the year, so I have another month or so before I have to worry about school pictures.  Plus if we don't like the first set we can always wait for retake day in November.  They even offer Spring pictures, but those won't be in the year book, so we never do them.

We need to do family pictures soon.  Our last set of family pictures was 3 years ago.  I am pretty sure that all of us have changed in the last 3 years.  The girls have gotten lots taller.  So maybe we shouldn't get pictures.  I can pretend that the girls aren't getting older (& taller) if there is no evidence on this on the walls, right?!?

We have had some really fun themes for our pictures.  We did a set where we were all in our jammies and holding our favorite stuffed animal.  We did a set in the local park.  We have had some where we were all dressed up fancy-schmancy in matching dresses.  Not sure what we should do this time.  I don't want out pictures to be boring, as I don't feel like we are a boring kind of family.  I better start looking at Pinterest so I can get some ideas.  Or you can leave a comment if you have any ideas for us. 

Until next time remember:
