A huge accomplishment!!!!

Some of you may not know that for me getting my kids pictures taken is a HUGE chore and accomplishment. The reason being is that "perfectionist" side of me really emerges and overtakes my whole self. I start to really stress about the perfect outfits, the perfect hair, the hair not getting messed up on the way there, the clothes not getting dirty or wrinkled and the poses and smiles being perfect! Example 1: I have not had my kids pics taken since Elena was 3 mos old and she was naked in that pic and bald so that took off the perfect hair and outfit stress!!! She is now 3 yrs and 3 mos old! Example 2: When I went to get Bellas 2 years pics taken she was not allowed to wear her beautifully ironed dress until we got there and I didnt comb her hair until we got there. Example 3: This time my kids werent allowed to put their clothes on until we were about to walk out the door and were repeatedly told dont touch their hair or lay down and they were not allowed to drink or eat anything that might stain the color of their mouths or tongues!!!! I know I know Im a freak....the reason I finally made an effort to get this done was for Tom for Valentines Day-BUT he now tells me that because mail has been taking so long to get there just wait to mail him anything because he will be moving one more time before coming home so I spilled the beans about my lil suprise and I emailed him all of them early!!! I do have to say that I am very happy with the pics and I sure do have some cute kids even though they drive me crazy!!!!!
