School Pictures

When I went to pick Emma up from school yesterday the informed me that I needed to go down the hall and look at Emma's school pictures and see if I wanted to purchase any.  Since I am a sucker for any pictures of our baby, I went to check it out.  I remember getting a notice in her bag one day saying they were going to be doing pictures, but it said for 6 months and older and she wasn't going to be of age so I thought nothing of it.  But they actually were able to get some pictures of her to my surprise.  So I broke down and bought one sheet and I think it will be good to send out to family members.  And it's her first official school picture!

It took me back to the 80's where all your school pictures were behind these terribly tacky backgrounds.....I think we all remember the library one, where you are sitting with your hands on an open book looking all studious (spelling?).  And then I remember one in Elementary school where I am in a proper dress with collar and I'm sitting/standing next to a gumball machine?  Why?  I will say I'm really glad that I never had any of those cheesy splatter paint pictures or the laser lights in the background.  Sorry if you did, but you had no choice.  If your mother was anything like mine it was very important to get those school pictures and for them to turn out good.....and heaven forbid if your eyes were closed or you had to do re-takes!  I wish I had some of those old pictures to show you, so we could laugh together!

Anyway, enough of that tangent.  I was able to scan Emma's picture and while it's not going to land her a modeling career :)  it does give a little insight into her personality.  She's a sparkler!
