Tempest has been having these wild mood swings lately that are as exhausting as they are frustrating. When she's in the midst she's red-faced, squalling and hollering at the top of her lungs like she's 3 years old again and just wants to hear herself scream.

I'm cracking up over the LifeTouch photo! LOL! I used to work for them. Now there are people like me who have a love for photography and took time with the kids to make their photos the best that we could believe they could be (only meeting the child for the first time, taking the photo in our 30 seconds we are given, and not knowing their true smile or personality and not getting the time to learn it). When I worked at very small schools, (think private - 50 or less children where I was the only photographer) I never had retakes so I think I must of done a decent job! But on the other hand, they hire people off the street, the computer system is completely automated, it calibrates the lights, etc. and they have to know nothing more than how to pose the child, scan a card and click a button, they get paid noodles to do so, and have to drive their own car sometimes up to 3 hours away from their home.

MOST of the photographers don't care and its sad....cuz this is what you end up with. I Can tell that is not a natural smile in any way! So why they didn't retake it.........oy.
