OK, one of our favorite new games is to roll these balls up and down the hallway and chasing after them. I just thought that it was time to post another picture and this one seemed really cute.
On the subject of pictures: I finally got her into a studio today to get professional shots taken. She hasn't had any done since she was 9 months old. That was half her life ago!
To anyone who doesn't like to get professional shots taken because of the price: learn to work the system! I got 5 sheets of pictures in 3 different poses for less than $13 today. That is a hard one to beat. Here are some rules to follow:
-Don't get roped into their special combinations. They are never worth it.
-Don't get any special borders. They can double the price of a sheet of photos.
-Always bring coupons.
-Buy into the portrait club if you plan on going at least 2 times during the duration of the membership (2 years @ JC Penny). It will pay for itself that fast.
So how did I save so much money today? Well, I belong to the club so I didn't have to pay a sitting fee. I brought a coupon that got me a free 8x10 and I used an extra on my membership to get another sheet of photos for free. That takes me down to 3 sheets of photos left to pay for. My coupon also allowed me to get them for $4 a piece.
Now, if I had gotten the special borders on even one of the sheets of photos then I couldn't have used the coupon the way I did. They tried to talk me into a "package" where the special borders are included but I would have gotten 6 sheets (just one more than I actually got today) for around $60!
By the way, the best deal is to only choose one pose and get the $7.99 package deal where you get about 5 or 6 sheets of pics. But who can chose only one pose when they are so cute!
