bed head!

Ohhhh Jack! Just like his Mom with some crazy-looking bed head!

Apparently, he was none-too-thrilled with having his picture taken yesterday…he cried! :-( But, I was told that the photographer thinks “he got a good one” so we’ll see what they come back with!

In case of a miracle, and Jack wants to try for a round 2 of pictures, I packed a polo with him to school today…but I’m not putting any money down on him having a sudden change of heart and loving the photographer…especially when he’s so used to the “house” photographer (ME!) :-)

Notice his half-hearted attempt at a smile this morning! I think it's more of a Really Mom!?!-look than anything! LOL.

Plus, the house photographer lets him watch Cars movie non-stop....literally. He loves Mater, and can practically recite the movie at this point, so you try telling him no ;-). And as you can see, Mister cannot be bothered to take his eyes off his favorite movie EVER!

Spring Picture Day

Another picture day at school! We've had both good and bad luck in the past, so I'm hoping we get a good one this go-'round.

I'm not overly confident because these days, when Jack's ready to take a picture, he says, "CHEESE! Click! Let's see-let's see!" as he runs towards me! Literally, he says the "click", and has to see the picture right away, so lately, I've been snapping a lot of random "Jack running towards me to see the picture" shots...

We'll see! : ) Every once in a while, I do capture a gem, like this one...which is actually quite an accomplishment at 6:30 in the morning, for a sleepy boy who, had his Mommy try 3 different cups for his oj this morning because, well, just because he can!

Picture day success!

We got Jack's first "school" pictures back and they are awesome! I love, love, love them! Remember that morning was a rough one, but this is just perfect!


I was so proud of him when I saw how perfectly they turned out and when Jack saw them, all he could say is, "What's that?!" over and over again as he pointed to his pirate sweater on every picture! :)

Picture Day (again!)

Back in April, Jack had his first picture day…and it didn’t go over so well. Little man just didn’t want to pose. (We even tried a picture day 2.0 and that didn’t work.)

So today is picture day again, and I’m nervous because Jack isn’t feeling well, but, he now says “cheese” for the camera and makes a hilarious face that cracks me up! Like here:

I hope the quick pictures I snapped this morning are not an indication of how things will play out today! Jack wanted his second waffle so badly this morning that he couldn’t focus for the camera.

So, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we get a good “first” school picture for the memory books! Because I'm diggin' his Halloween-Pirate sweater!

First school picture day!

Today is Jack’s very first school (daycare) picture day! I’m so excited…it’s a milestone. Last night I pulled out all of Jack’s “nice” clothes and debated on different outfits…this was worse than trying to pick out an outfit for myself! We decided on a nice red polo with navy and white stripes: it’s simple, yet handsome!

However, I do have a few concerns about this picture day:
1. Jack rarely comes home from school without food-stained face/clothes/hair. (Yes, hair…once Jack gets his hands all “yuckied” up, he likes to run his hands through his hair…just to give it that extra “Jack-style”!) So hopefully pictures are taken before lunch time!
2. Jack is a happy boy…but, he is not a “smile-on-command” type of boy! (Whenever we get pictures taken, it wears me out because I jump around, act goofy, and spend most of the time chasing Jack because he’s usually running away!) I have no false hope that this will be a stunning, smiling, picture (most school pictures aren’t anyway), but I hope he’s at least looking at the camera! We’ll see how this picture turns out.

I just had to take a picture of Mr. Jack sleeping this morning…he’s in his favorite position: booty in the air! It’s the hardest thing to wake up a baby who’s sleeping so peacefully: And here he is showing off his aforementioned “nice” clothes:

I asked Jack to “twirl around” for me, so we could get the full effect of his handsomeness (jk, he just didn’t want to play “model” anymore, so he was running away from me!): When I was doing dishes this morning, Jack just had to get in on the action and do his own chores! Here he is playing with his dishes: And I thought I would throw in some pictures of Jack’s eating habits (as discussed earlier). This night, Daddy decided to bring out the Oreo’s before Jack had finished his dinner! Needless-to-say, that was the end of dinner…when Jack sees a cookie, green beans are secondary!
