Well, today was anything but our standard Wednesday.
I took the afternoon off from work, so the morning was pretty packed trying to get as much done as possible. When we returned to work from the shutdown, we returned to a new financial system. Everything has pretty much been a mess ever since...waiting for budgets to be set up, waiting for people to learn the system, fix the bugs, etc. Things finally seem to be coming together, so things are suddenly moving along much faster, which means we can finally push everything through the system. Now, it's time to catch up for sure. Christian took his truck back to the shop during lunch today, and they were able to figure out what the ratting was, and fix that. Now, the truck really is good as new. YAY! So glad that's all over.
I left work at lunchtime, stopped into Walgreens to pick up a picture. They were offering free 8x10 collage prints over the weekend, so I made one in my name, and one in Christian's...of our wedding pictures! 4 years later. LOL. Now I can't wait to get them hung up! Then, it was home to eat lunch, and do some cleaning. I got the kitchen and living room all picked up. It always feels so good to look around at a nice, clean house!
Finally, it was time to get ready for our photo session! I put together the girls' outfits, packed our bags, got myself ready and waited for Christian to get home. He quickly changed and cleaned up, we picked up the girls, and were on our way. The girls did pretty good. Things started off great, but they quickly lost interest. But, Kristi was great at moving us to new locations and scenery to keep them entertained. After some cute outdoor shots, we were off to the studio for the REAL fun. FINGER PAINTS! I know it doesn't sound too exciting, but wait until you see these pictures. She did a session with an infant and finger paints a few months ago, and we agreed that it was perfect for the girls. I cannot wait to see the finished product!
Once pictures were done (and the girls were scrubbed down), we were off to meet the Madrid's at the local family festival going on by home. They had all kinds of jump houses, games for the kids, free food and drinks, a little mini petting zoo, music. The girls seemed to have a good time, and nothing beats a little free entertainment with friends on a beautiful night!
FINALLY, we were home, and the girls were off to bed. Amelia wouldn't eat very good tonight, so I'm hoping she'll sleep good. Hopefully she just wasn't hungry!
Here are a couple cute shots of the girls I took at the festival. Of course, I'll share session photos once I get the finished products. Can't wait! What a wonderful day!
