The plan for today was to try to get family pictures taken, so I booked an early morning hair appointment to get a loose curl put in there. I am useless at doing hair. Useless. However, as we were getting the kids up before I left, Laela told Brady that she felt sick to her stomach. Brady got her a bucket and left her in bed and came to tell me. When I went to check on her, she was indeed folded over, tossing her cookies.
I texted Cher that photos might have to be put off, and I headed into the city for my appointment. I couldn’t exactly cancel at that point, as I was her first appointment of the day. It was great to see Carlinna at her new location, and I enjoyed my little half hour chat with her while she did my hair.
While I was getting my hair done, my phone was blowing up with plans. Laela had asked to eat breakfast after all and was suddenly back to 100% health. Who knows what happened there, but she felt great! Cher had suggested we go forward with a photo shoot we had talked about a while ago, so we made the plan to take some photos together during nap time, and try for family photos after everyone was up.
I got home and made a quick run around the house, pulling possible clothes for the kids for our possible photo shoot. I loaded our bed with options for them, as well as for Brady and I, and made Cher promise to help us. When she came over, she helped me pick a couple of outfits for myself for our own little shoot, and once I was ready to go, we headed into the city.
We were promised clouds today, but we were given the sun instead, which is lovely and bright but not ideal for photos. But we made it work, and did some wandering around by the river. Some were more serious than others…
A couple of hours later, we called it and headed back home. Brady had showered and gotten the kids up from their naps. We made some final decisions about what everyone would wear, and we all got ready! My mom headed over to lend a hand and be someone for everyone to look at while Cher was tucked behind her camera. Once the group was assembled, we made our way to our location – basically just across the street.
Some of us weren’t as into it as others 😂
I’ll show you the real ones another day, but I’m saving a couple for this years Christmas card!!
Overall, it felt like super full day, but I actually super enjoyed it! I got my hair done at my hair girls new location. I got some pictures taken of myself for a few things. We got family pictures taken, and everyone was looking! I’ve been in good company all day.
Its been a really lovely day! I hope you all enjoyed your Saturdays, too!
