Yesterday, I signed up for a drawing. Today Sears called me to tell me I won a free 10x13 portrait. So I took pictures of my 19 month old son. The people watching the photo shoot was: me, my wife, my mom and my grandma (in other words, my son's GREAT grandmother!). Four generations in one room, that's awesome! Afterwards, we went to my parents' house. My dad needed some trees trimmed so I helped him with that. That made his day! After the tree trimming, we had pizza then homemade cookies. I spent 90% of the day at my parents' house. It was a fun, productive day. I don't go over there as much as I should. They only live 10 minutes away, but we have different work schedules, etc. Back to the pictures for a second: we took 10 different poses....bought various sizes to go along with our 10X13....we ended up spending a grand total of $152 on pictures today. That "free" picture kicked my ass! What did I really win from this drawing? That picture is normally about $14. But it was worth it. I now have visual memories of my son and the ladies had fun picking out different portraits. Plus, the ladies will have some pictures to show off to friends, family and coworkers.
