::christmas card photo shoot gone awry::

Not

exactly

what

I

envisioned.

My blog readers are the greatest. Thank you for your votes on the previous post. Really helped so much.

Overcame my freeway shell-shock from a couple days back and ventured to A Child's View in Garden Grove in an attempt to secure a much-needed adjustment of Luke's glasses. He's also been sporting a nice size scratch on the left lens so I thought I'd be a good mama and assist my son in actually seeing. Nice of me.

This afternoon, after the park I decide to bung both kiddies in the duo stroller and do a little strolling. Hear a crunch, look down and I've just rolled over the glasses that Luke has just taken off his face. Scratched on the left lens. Yes, the glasses that we drove 40 minutes each way on the dreaded freeway to have adjusted only moments before. The very same.

I call my dear friend who lives in Ventura b/c I'm worried about her family being so close to the fires raging at the mo. She inpires me as she has completed her Christmas cards already.

"Time to take photos for Christmas cards" I declare to my bewildered children as we come home from the park. After Luke has pulled down the curtain rod that Rob affixed only days ago, the result of the photo session are above. May still use them. Luke and Leila in their real state of merriness and brightness.
