Gone are the days when a night at the mall meant blissful spending in a relaxing atmosphere. Enter the new millennium...where a night at the mall means chasing a kid (or 2) around while he and/or she is literally kicking and screaming at the top of his and/or her lungs. Add to this scenario that the mission of going to the mall in the first place was to get our family picture taken. WOW! What were we thinking?! It took TWO (NOT ONE) nights to get a picture suitable for purchasing. On our first attempt, Sears got us in 20+ minutes late and the kiddos were NOT ready to cooperate. Even our bribes of McDonald's, milk shakes, and even a million dollars wouldn't convince Tate to sit still. Night 2 was somewhat the same. But, add to that a trip to the food court for dinner and you get COMPLETE CHAOS! Sooooooo...moral of the story is...family pictures are waaaayyyy too overrated! Bah humbug...
