When First Day of School Pictures Don’t Go as Planned!

First day of school pictures are a rite of passage. It’s an exciting time, but it can also be filled with anxiety, running late, sibling rivalry, and teenage angst. Of course, we as parents are required to capture these moments for future embarrassment posterity, especially when first day of school pictures don’t go as planned!

We had our own moment this week when trying to get a picture before the start of Carter’s first day of 1st grade. He was actually very excited to go to school, and all was fine until his dad did his hair the “wrong” way. To add insult to injury, I asked him to put his light saber down so he could hold the sign. How dare I!

I was laughing so hard taking this picture (which didn’t help matters), so I thought I’d see if I could find some other adorable and not-as-planned first day of school pictures. I have to say, I love these more than the “perfect” ones. Ahhh… making memories!
Not So Happy

Sibling Love – I need to see if I can dig up some school pictures of my brother and me. I’d be shocked if there aren’t some with me in a headlock!

Photo Bomb – who doesn’t love a good photo bomb? Funny that it always seems to be the littler sibling.
