Truth Tuesday #4 - Say Cheese

Truth Tuesday is blog posts regarding my 

Murphy's Laws of childcare.

#4 The day you serve blueberries for breakfast and spaghetti for lunch, have a messy painting activity, and the children play all afternoon in the mud pie kitchen, is the day a parent will call to say they are picking up early because they have family portraits at 4:00. "So sorry I forgot to tell you! I don't have time to run by the house for different clothes, hope she didn't get messy today." I stare at the little bundle of grubbiness, the one with grass in the hair and a scratch on the cheek... "You might want to reschedule."


This has happened more than once. Really, it never fails on the day parents schedule pictures.
