Passport Photos=No Smiles, Please!

So there is now a rule that you can't be all "smiley, mc smile smile" when taking your passport photo. I have a tough time with that rule now, obviously, because I love smiling so much. It seems false for me to not smile in a picture, because I spend the good majority of my day with a smile on my face. (As do my kids...keep that in mind...)

Well, it turns out that I have no worries about this rule with my two kids because when both sat down to have their passport photos taken, they just kind of stared at the photographer with a kind of glazed over, deer in the headlights look.

They look cute, but kind of ominous...a little bit children of the corn (although I have never seen that movie so I can't vouch for the description's accuracy).

I know I promised that I would do the White House visit post next, but these pics were in my computer, and I figured some of you would love the distraction of funny passport photos. Granted they are no where near the territory of awkward family photos, but pretty darn priceless, nonetheless.


Oh, and so you know...it must be a familial thing...cause look down there (yes...below this paragraph)...oh, it's me, dinagideon, at my most sinister-looking. :) The photographer must have LOVED me when he was taking this passport photo...this was back when you were actively encouraged to smile! :)



Okay, everyone, back to the frivolity of Labor Day weekend.
