Picture Day

Tomorrow is Picture Day at school, so of course I have spent the whole day trying to figure out what Bennett and Kendall will wear. I totally remember picture day when I was a kid, trying to stay clean all day and then using those little black combs to fix your hair. I am not in my kindergarten class picture. I always thought that I started kindergarten late, but actually I was just absent on picture day. Didn't figure that one out until college, not that it matters that much. I do remember my first grade pictures. I was wearing a royal blue jumper dress thing with a white shirt and I had pigtails with blue and white pom poms. Not my favorite picture. Who decided pom poms in the hair would be a good idea? Did someone look at a cotton ball one day and think, hey, lets put a string on that and stick it in your hair? I know I probably loved it at the time, and I know they are coming back in fashion. For kids that is, in case there was any confusion. I'm not sure what to do with Kendall's hair. Her self inflicted half bang cut from the summer has grown out a little, but it almost makes it look worse now. At least when it was super short it just looked like she was missing a chunk of hair, now you can definitely tell it is just badly cut, especially since the rest of her bangs are pretty long. Although I am aware that rule #25 in the mommy handbook is never ever cut your daughter's bangs the day before picture day, I just might try it. It couldn't look any worse, right? Bennett's hair is a little easier, I just slick it down with water and pray that when it dries it doesn't fling out it quirky ways. Even if it does, it still fits his personality and looks cute. If only it was that easy for us girls :)
