Super what?

One good thing about SuperBowl Sunday this year is that there were very few people at the Quakerbridge Mall today.  We had booked the triplets 6 month pictures at "Picture People" in the mall today and typically the weekends are NOT the days to go because it's a madhouse.  I missed the Christmas photo shoot and was sad about it so this time, I was determined to go.  Getting out of the house of course was stressful - making sure we had everything, everyone and leaving on time.  T called his mother and she decided to come along.  I thought we would be late, but we ended getting there right on time, but was made to wait 20 minutes.  These places schedule people every 10 minutes - which is insane - especially when they know they're going to be working with infants - let alone three of them.  They had a back drop right out in front of everyone and then some other rooms in the back.  We watched the photographer and an assistant try and get a cute little 11 month old girl to smile, but she just crawled back over to mom.  After a few minutes, they stopped and moved over to the side.  We asked her if they were done, and the mom explained that her daughter just woke up and they were going to wait for a room in the back and she if she perks up.  We were then discussing that we didn't really want to be the ones out in front - where everyone can see you - would just feel weird - and of course we ended up taking our pictures there.  I explained to the photographer that the babies cannot sit up on their own and she put down a bean bag type of pillow on the floor and covered with a white blanket.  We then propped the babies on it but I had to hold up little T and Amelia an Tony held Olivia in place on the opposite side - all while covering our arm underneath the blanket.  They took some other shots while lying on their bellies, but that was NOT working.  In the end, every baby was annoyed and whining and we had only gotten about 10 photos taken.  They didn't even offer to try again later...  We sat down for a few minutes and then they showed us what they got.  Most of them, Amelia had a sad look on her face (she had used up all of her smiles on the drive there, then fell asleep, then woke up to a room full of strangers).  We had ONE smile from ONE baby the whole time... from... Little T.  We ended up purchasing a few sheets of ONE shot with the three of them.  It was really the only shot that they all looked pretty good.  The guy showing us the pictures was trying to get us to buy more - and of shots where some of them were clearly unhappy.  If I wanted a picture of an unhappy baby, I wouldn't need to dress them up, drive 1/2 hour and pay someone else to take the photo!!!  We used our gift cards and our entertainment book coupon so it didn't cost us anything, but I think the guy was annoyed that we didn't buy more. 
Afterward, talking to T and his mom I learned that JCPenney did a MUCH better job with the babies than this place.  So, long story short, we'll continue to go to JCP for our special pictures. 
Other than that, both T & I are having back problems.  Mine started hurting early in the day and is still bothering me.  I hope it subsides soon. 
On another note, the NY/NJ Giants won the Super Bowl 21/17.  The best part was the half time show (Madonna) and as good/cute as some of the commercials were, I can't even remember one at the moment.  I probably could, but that would take too much mental effort right now.
