Fall School Pictures

Recently, the girls had their fall pictures at school.  Up until this year, whenever I found out it was picture day at school, I would go out shopping and buy the girls a new outfit, just for picture day.  I always wanted them to take the perfect picture and look and feel their best.  I would do their hair for them in the morning and even let them wear lip gloss. 

When they had their spring pictures at school this year, I had so much going on at that time, that I completely missed picture day!  The girls came home from school and said "MOMMY!  Today was picture day!!"  My first thought was GREAT, I missed picture day.  How could I have done that?  They didn't have a new outfit, and I didn't style their hair for them.  To my surprise, when they came home with the spring pictures, I LOVED them.  Their personalities were shining through in those pictures.  It was at that moment, that I told myself, everything doesn't have to be perfect all of the time.  They don't need that new outfit just for picture day.  I changed my perspective on picture day and now live by the rule that the girls, can pick their own outfit out for picture day.  And if they ask me to style their hair, I will, but I will not force doing their hair.
They say a picture speaks a thousand words.  I was pleasantly surprised with what Giselle decided to do for picture day.  Maybe you will be surprised too.  At the end of the day, again their personalities have shined through in their pictures.  Giselle is sometimes impulsive and her smile warms my heart.  Isabella's caring nature shines through her picture and her style and beauty are timeless.  Until next picture day!!!!
