Passport Photos

I just spent two hours trying to get my kid's passport photos made. Our local CVS does not employee people with too much energy, I can attest to that. First, we went in and had the pictures made. I saw the girl editing them for printing. I promise I did. She said they would be ready in 10 minutes. We decided to run and errand and come back. Two hours later, and guess what? She is gone and the guys working can't find the pictures anywhere. I guess she gave up and went home. Must have been time to clock out!

Soooooo, we start the who fiasco over again. Poor Patrick, he is too short for the white background screen when he is sitting down and he can't stand up. I tried holding him up at my shoulder level and over in front of the screen. Somehow managing this position without any of my body showing in the photo. All I got for that trick was sore biceps and a big grin from him.

You are not supposed to grin in passport photos!

Anyway, we finally got one the guy "thinks" they will accept. This guy "thinking" anything is kind of scary, so something tells me we might be back for another photo op with little P. Not at the local CVS though - we are trying out Kinkos if we have to do this again.
