family photos

A few weeks ago we had these taken for nicks graduation.All the students had pictures taken on their own, with family, and with partners etc.Each was given a 10 minute time slot, then they all had to meet back at 6 for group shots.I wont post any of the group shots but heres a few of just us.All I can say is you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear! [is that how it goes?].What  I mean by that is there are not too many photos that look that good, but no disrespect to the photographer, as I think shes done okay considering the allocated time, and also the weather, as it was drizzling off and on throughout the day, and the fact that Scruff and I are not the most photogenic of people, in most of these scruff has no eyes, only slits, and I cant smile naturally, I end looking like Im sneering!I was saying this to scruff as I was looking at the pics this arvo, and a few minutes later, lisa[nicks girlfriend], says to me that I have a lazy lip![LOL].
I look so weird in photos, I am just not used to seeing myself in pictures.Scruff and I both saw a few of these and said how yuk we look, and if you saw the rest you would agree, some really really bad ones , some with eyes shut and just really dopey ones.Speaking of dopey, my husband has been taking a fair bit of prescribed medication in the form of painkillers,[for the knee] and he is reacting very oddly at times although I guess thats a pretty common side effect.

I did make it to lincoln today, got most of the chrissy presents done, but going back tuesday to pick up brads which will be arriving tomorrow.

I Didnt get a tree, most places have sold out, and the only one I could find was at kmart and it was way too big.

May have to get e real tree for the first time ever.
