It's a spectacle!

At our house, dealing with "spectacles" is definately a "spectacle".



I have completely lost count as to the number of glasses that my "sweet darlings" Meghan and Rachel have had and/or broken. Frankly it's too many to count. But since they need them to see and therefore function in society...We just keep getting them pair after pair after pair after pair.....
Anyway, Meghan's broke (she helped them along) right before her birthday, which is coincidentally, RIGHT before CHRISTMAS. So, for Christmas Eve, we went to Walmart and picked up her new ones. She likes them. They are Hannah Montana frames! That sentence had an exclamation mark simply because you need to imagine that a 9 year old is telling you that bit of information. I hear it a couple hundred times a day. (Oh yeah, Meghan is the blond on the left)
And Rachel's broke a week after Meghan's broke. These two have a tendency to do this sort of copycat thing. ANYWAY, we couldn't afford to buy TWO new pairs right at the holidays, so we taped Rachel's up (she broke them on the earpieces), and told her to hang tight for a month or so. Well, last week she and I went to Walmart and had her eyes examined. Her prescription has changed quite a lot. (That's probably why she couldn't see the board at school) And she also got her new glasses. They are Hannah Montana frames TOO! LIke, Oh my heck!
(Rachel is the blond on the right)
They are both thrilled and we are poor and we'll see how long these glasses last.

Cute girls! I've worn glasses since I was 12 years old, so I understand about the breaking and losing them and all...

I hope the pocketbook recovers, and that the next stint between broken glasses will be loooooong(er). ;)

They are darling girls, the glasses aren't bad either.

T got glasses this year. He mainly needs them for reading and doing his homework. Does he wear them? Nope. So, we haven't had to deal with broken or lost glasses yet. But, he really needs to start wearing them

Your girls look darling in their glasses.

Brandi got glasses last month and would you believe it? They are Hannah Montana too! squeal!!

So far so good, but I do have to keep reminding her about where she can and cannot put them. I know, I've worn glasses since I was 8 and have broken them in very weird ways.
