{photo fail}

It's that marvelous time of the year again...you know...Christmas pictures. UGH Or should it be Christmas nightmare?

I had made an appointment on Saturday at 5:20 for the munchkin to get some cute pictures in her pretty new Christmas dress taken. When we arrived, it was the total chaotic scene that is played across every photo studio in the country this time of year. Whiny kids, a cluster of strollers, fed up parents, etc. I check in for our appointment (10 minutes early I might add) and the wait begins. There's only so much patience one can have before they start to loose their cool. We ended up waiting over an hour...but the thing is, we didn't even get to have pictures taken because they were so backed up. We left because we had plans with some friends and that time was quickly approaching.

So, I called yesterday to re-reschedule for that afternoon and complained about the situation yesterday. The lady assures me that things will go much smoother today and they were just having an "off" day yesterday. Yeah, that's it! We get there 10 minutes prior to our appointment...and it's a mad house again. We wait about 40 minutes for our coveted time in the "studio" and someone decides that she isn't having it....any of it! I was that mom with that kid! She was a blubbering boogery mess. After about 10 minutes of that torture I decided to call it quits. So once again, we left without any pictures. Grrrrrrr

With that being said, we're hoping that the 3rd time truly is the charm. We have an appointment this evening. Wish us luck!
