So, my kids have not figured out that we had a time change. They are getting up too early, eating at the wrong times and get upset when they have to come inside at like a quarter of six! Do kids not come pre-programed to automatically adjust for the time change??? What is even more ridiculous is that my dad got me an atomic clock for Christmas 2 years ago--right before Bush decided to change the dates and make the "summer time" hours longer--and now it doesn't keep the right time either. Go figure.

Anyway... We are having our family portrait done today. We have not done one in about 4 years and it is also going to be our Christmas gifts to everyone. I have prepped the kids on what I expect = nice smiling, no silliness, and 100% cooperation. Do you think it will work? They are kids right?

This is the one we did when the boys were 3 and almost 5. Is this just not the cutest picture!

I think Mr. Scotland is so wise - and not to mention pleasing on the eyes and ears. I could listen to him for hours. *sigh* Him and Patrick Stewart.
