Lousy Coupons



Here is a photo of Riley that we had taken at Sears a couple of weeks ago. There is also an awesome black and white close up of his face that we bought, but I couldn't get the dang thing to post for some reason. I thought the photos turned out pretty good, except he refused to smile.
I had this great coupon that said I wouldn't have to pay a sitting fee and I could get like 30 photos for $3.99. Sounds like a great deal, right? The only problem was my "mommy brain" kicked in again. I took Riley to Sears and they said they would look at the coupon and give us the discount after they'd taken all the photos. So, when we were all done I handed the cashier my coupon. She looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "Um....this is a coupon for J.C. Pennys. You're at Sears." I told her I thought it would be a good game if we pretended like we were at J.C. Pennys for a little bit and she could go ahead and give me the discount. She didn't seem to think that would be very fun.
I felt pretty stupid. Obviously, i'm well aware of the fact that J.C. Pennys and Sears are two very different stores. And I had looked at that coupon about a hundred times. Anyway, I ended up paying significantly more for photos of Riley than I had been planning on. So enjoy, cause they were dang expensive!!

oh man, why didn't sam check it? doesn't he know by now that he needs to double check everything you say, bc you have been diagnosed with the "mommy syndrome." So in reality it is Sams fault! But don't worry I pretty good at being funny liek that to, so in a way we are twins. cool.
