The curse of the photo shoot

So I'm posting again today.  Mostly because it has been a snowy and cold day and I haven't been able to leave the apartment-I've been bored out of my mind.  According to the weather network there is an "arctic outflow warning" and while I have no idea what the heck that means I don't want to risk being eaten by a polar bear anytime soon.  Luckily Dave is going to rescue me from my 900 square foot veal pen tomorrow because we have something very important scheduled:  Lily's photo session.  Yes we are celebrating her first year by getting some photos done by Sears (actually the truth is I found a coupon).  The only problem is that we are cursed when it comes to photos.  Cursed as in whenever we try to get a nice picture done Lily hits her head, gets a cold or does something so that when 20yrs from now when we show her photos she'll think we beat her.  It happened before for our Santa photos:  Lily decided to kiss the coffee table head first 2 days beforehand giving herself a bruise of epic proportions.  She has crawled by that coffee table many times but was drawn by the curse.  We scheduled this photoshoot about a week ago.  Since then she's been tripping and falling and coming very close to hitting her head.  But then it happened...two days ago she was pulling on a shelf and fell forward giving herself a bruise IN THE SAME SPOT (do you think we can lie and say it is a birth mark?).  Luckily its not as bad as the last time but I've spent the rest of the last few days protecting her head, I've even considered fitting her with a hat made out of bubble wrap (but then wrapping your kid's head in plastic seems unsafe...).  I was almost in the clear...7PM the night before, I just had to keep her from any further injury until 10am the next day when I notice she was sneezing...with a runny nose...and then wiped said runny nose with her hand and then wiped it into her eye...great! Knowing my luck she'll have pink eye tomorrow!

Wish me luck!

Also I decided to tame the brows so I'm pretty sure I'll have a shocked expression regardless how the day turns out.  If you live in Vancouver watch out for polar bears!
