So, we had a FUN-TABULOUS day today gettin’ our pics done at JCPenneys! I finally cashed in on my Groupon that I bought months ago! I was able to snag a $215.00 package for just $40.00!!! And, the best part was that I paid months ago, so when we were all done (and, can I just say how good it feels to walk out of a picture studio having completed the mission of a FAMILY PORTRAIT) the cash register rang up $0.00!!!!!! WOOHOO!! But, boy did they try and sell us add-on’s! No matter how much I was temped, I had an awesome “self-disciplined” hubby whispering in my ear: “NO sweetie, its not in the budget, remember China!” …Good thing he was with me!
I debated about when to use this Groupon (pre Tahlia, or post Tahlia), and I thought to myself that I really wanted to document our “waiting for Tahlia” season, because it’s been an amazing season of growth and bonding for us. Also, the kiddies haven’t had individual shots for over 2 years and I knew they were overdue! I was thinking that it’s gonna be a LOT easier to do it now, before Tahlia comes home!
But, don’t worry….cause I plan on having another photo session with our baby girl when she comes home! 🙂
The kids did great, they really did!! It was actually a lot of fun!! When we were done, we treated the kiddies to an ever so rare “pick your own dinner at the food court” meal!!! They were excited, cause this pretty much never happens!
So, that brings me to the reason for this post: MY BLOG! well, do you like it!!?? My new bloggy makeover!!! I am so excited for a fresh change!!! and, it’s 3am and I am wired on a mocha frappe that I had earlier and I am a bundle of creative energy! Oh my, I am gonna hurt tomorrow at soccer! (edited to add: SO GLAD SOCCER IS CANCELED!)
Finally, speakin’ of family portraits, you probably are overdue too and what’s a better time to get one than right before the holidays!!!!…. Just wanted to mention (for those that don’t know, or who are waiting till the last minute);) that I have a little fundraiser going on over on my FB page!! Feel free to friend me (if we aren’t fb friends) me if you want to donate to be a part of the FAMILY portrait giveaway from an Award winning photo studio!! I am having people make comments on the fb status instead of over here on the blog. It’s just easier!
So, if you want to participate please use the “donate” button on the right hand side of this blog! Its $5.00 /entry OR $10.00/3 entries. Then, just go to my fb page to comment under the Fundraiser status! One comment per entry!!! I will pick a name Sunday evening at 11:00 using random.org.
