Parenting

I never realized how many yuppie families there were in NJ until we went to take the kids apple picking on Sunday. We went to one of the less well known orchards, knowing it would be busy and were shocked to find a 90 minute wait - just to get in. These yuppies packed the kids right back up and went off in search of another activity. Before you feel too bad for the kids - we went pumpkin picking on Saturday so they had a good dose of fresh air, farm animals and fields this weekend.

It's a good thing that they had a fun weekend because I won the bad parent of the week award for forgetting that today was picture day at school. They were well groomed as usual but were in day care clothes rather than picture clothes - and yes, there is a big difference. I'm consoling myself by reminding myself that we likely won't order the pictures anyway since we're going to get professional photos with the girls and Cole in November.

LOL!!
Do you want to know the last time I had professional pictures taken of my kids? Last group shots were when Emma was a baby and the last individuals were the same time.
Thankfully I have photographer friends and relatives that take good candids:)
