Pictures and Shoulder Pads

We got Keven's 3rd grade school picture back the other day and I am pleased with how it turned out. His hair was cut WAY TOO short right before school and I feared it would look terrible. He took a great picture and has a wonderful smile. They went with a different company this year and I'm not real pleased with them. I wish they would've stayed with LifeTouch instead of this local company. The prices were more expensive and the quality is lower than LifeTouch. Also, he didn't get to pick a color for his background nor a pose this year. He was pretty bummed about that. The glare is because I took a picture of his picture! hahahaha!


On another note, my mom is very funny sometimes. She comes up with her own creative ideas and just goes with them. Keven has a tendency to put holes in the left knee of ALL his pants! It drives me nuts because they still fit him! We purchased Nightmare Before Christmas jeans last year (big on purpose) and he decided to get a hole in them and pull and pull and pull at that hole until it was huge! He did this some months back. I pulled them out and asked my mom if she could fix it. She said she had a patch, so I was OK with that. Well, apparently she didn't have a patch and this is what she decided to do:

Yes, you are correct if you guessed that it's a SHOULDER PAD!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I just about died when I saw that. It's still padded and all. So, these are now play pants because I would never send my son to school or in public with a giant shoulder pad on his pants! Oh, how I love my mom and I appreciate all that she does for us and how willing she is to help, but next time, I'll just bring some patches!

It's Halloween and I'll post pics later tonight or tomorrow of our trick-or-treating adventures this evening. We're praying that it stops raining!!
