Photos from picture day

My hands felt itchy yesterday. I was in the mood for some craft work, and definitely scrapbooking came to mind. 

But with no developed photos on hand, I'll take a much longer time to scrapbook. It'll be ages before I finally decide which stockcards to use - so many colours and designs to choose from but not everything might be suitable for every photo. What I had were the photos from Zac's and Nana's picture day. With an itching hand, I was so tempted to cut these out for scrapbooking. But on the other hand, I was a bit hesitant to do that as I worry I might spoil them.

Talking about picture day, I was initially unsure what this day was all about. And with me being a bit embarrassed to ask the teacher, I just followed the instruction on the note which the kids brought back from school. The note wrote "Please wear nice clothes to school for your pictures." So, I assumed picture day must be the class photo-taking day like what we had in Singapore. 

After class, I asked the kids how their picture day was. Zac gave a funny look and said "The lady made me laugh then she take a picture." Ehmmm. He must be wondering how come mama is asking such a silly question! Haha. Picture day take picture lor!!! 

I was shocked when they brought back the pictures weeks later. When I opened the envelope, I was expecting to see the normal class photo - the one with the shorter children sitting next to each other in the front row and the taller ones standing at the back row with the teachers.  

Theirs was totally different. It was more like an individual photo. And these individual photos were placed next to each other, with their names written just below it.

Well, back to my story, I am glad I took the risk of cutting it up to satisfy my scrapbooking "craving". Hehe. The kids love it!
