I am stressed and freaking out

It's Grossmami's birthday (April 19) and all she wanted for her b-day was a picture of the whole family, her 3 sons and their families. We made the arrangements, hired a studio, at first it was going to be just the 3 sets of families but we decided to include them as well. So now there will be 14 of us total... and I'm sure it will only be my two boys that won't cooperate.

I can't decide what to wear...
I bought make-up for the first time since BEFORE Lucas was born and now I'm not sure if I got the right colors and I'm afraid I'll look like a freakin clown...
On Saturday I went to a hairdresser and cut off half my hair and I hope beyond hope that I can style it close to how she did it or I'll look like a scarecrow wearing clown make-up...
I'm sure the kids will spill something on their clothes or have an accident in their pants right before the pictures are made...
I won't let them out to play this morning because I'm afraid that they'll black their eyes, skin their nose or get a fat lip.

I am totally freaking out... but by the time you all read this the mess will be over... The pictures will be taken at 3:00pm here so that is 9:00am EST. If any of you read this around that time, cross your fingers, say a prayer, send good shutterbug vibes or whatever to get me through this.
