every fall we get school pictures
i look through the packages
find the best deal
get the boys all spiffy on picture day
and then at christmas
when i’m taking pictures for the christmas cards
i find the pile of school pictures
that i never sent to anyone
and i say (again)
“why do we get these??”
so this christmas
i told myself next year i will order
as close to 1 5×7 as i can
so they can have one picture for their binder
each boy has one 3″ binder per year for their work
plus one binder for their art that isn’t on the wall
but…
now we have spring pictures too
and they’re the cool kind
christopher says to me
“aren’t those good pictures mom?
don’t you think we should order some?”
so for $32
they both have another 5×7 for their binder
daddy has a 3×5 to take to work
and there’s another 3×5
that will go to the first taker!
because they are pretty cool
as long as there’s not
30 copies of them
snapshots: life with boys 
Seriously, these pictures make me want to cry. When did those boys become…BOYS? They are so OLD!
okay, wait.
one 3″ binder per boy per year?
dang.
o.r.g.a.n.i.z.a.t.i.o.n.
p.s. i would take the pictures….but i think you should send them to grandma and grandpa…we can look at them there. : )
Yes – I’m a bit behind here, but sending them here is a great plan! Thanks Kristin.
