Passport Adventures

Crazy - 2 posts this week... :)

DH, DD & I went to Walgreens to get our passport photos taken on Tuesday morning. So, the guy who takes our pictures puts DD on a stool, then she sits there scrunching up her face and shoulders when she "smiles". UGH! He finally gets a half-way decent one. Then he takes ours. So, we go to the Christmas aisle to see what's left. The photo guy comes and says the machine to print the pictures isn't working and that they are running some tests, so it will be a little longer than 15 minutes. Ok - no problem.

DH & I are looking and we hear, "I had an accident," in a tiny voice. We both turn around to see our DD standing in the middle of the aisle with a puddle around her feet. GREAT!!!!!!!!! SO, I take her out to the van to clean her up and DH lets the staff know.

DD & I re-enter the store. DH has picked a few things off the shelf. We find out that the picture they took of DD will not work because you can see the back of the chair so it has to be re-done. I am still upset about her accident so I tell DH to deal with her scrunching face for the second take. They did end up getting a pretty good picture of her, so we'll see....

So, while they finish the pictures, we filled a cart with clearance Christmas treats. (Yes, just what we need...) We paid twice as much for the passport photos than we did for the cart full of garbage food. That's what we get for having to be in the store for an hour!

Moral of the story - double check that little ones have gone potty before you leave the house, even if it's just going to be for a "few minutes".
