Last Saturday, we had family pictures taken. Nice, relaxed, outdoorsy, family pictures. Took a little over an hour.
This took pretty much all the kids had, in terms of good behavior. By the end, we were reverting to the “smile or you’ll be punished” method of taking pictures. The thing is, how did families get PAINTINGS of their kids 200 years ago? To get a kid to sit still long enough to be painted? No wonder nobody was smiling.
We had to promise the kids we wouldn’t do it again for a long time.
Nobody likes having their pictures taken. Everyone likes seeing the pictures.
We had a birthday extravaganza on Saturday for Carson’s sixth birthday. Good times. Took Carson and a few of his friends to the residence of one Charles Edward Cheese. Oh, how the House of Chuck makes my brain hurt. Kids had a good time, though. I got to explain to five kindergartners what they were able to purchase with 116 tickets (approximate cash value of one CECT’s (ChuckeeCheeseTickets) in U.S. Dollars is $.003, meaning that 116 tickets are worth just under $.40. That buys you a small rubber caterpillar, or a 1.5″ stuffed ball, or a few tootsie rolls.
Anyway – we did a family birthday thing back at the house. As we did for Allison’s birthday, we did a pinata (I’m too tired to find the accent characters). The video, for your viewing pleasure:
