  2. They all are wonderful, but I like the picture of your garden vegetables the best. So NOT supermarket perfect.

  4. I was pretty proud of my garden harvest until I saw your bounty. I think I need to add another bed. Or buy more property.

  5. Embarrassing innocent bystanders, of course!

  6. I liked the "Boy checking for eggs" photo. I grew up in rural Oklahoma, everyone had chickens then.

  9. Thanks, Cort! It's the same little point and shoot Nikon camera that was sent to me for free by the lovely Jen...which proves that it really is all in the handling. Once I bothered to learn what all the buttons were for, more interesting things started to happen :)

    p.s. about the veggies- what you aren't seeing is all the stuff that died. I'm sneaky like that!

  10. I love Tommy's face in the dentist pic.! I have made so many face and done so many dances trying to keep my kids happy and calm during docs. and dentist visits. Love it! (of course, he could just be in the middle of talking to Paul, but I like that it looks like he's trying to entertain him) ;)

  11. Hah! I think he's forcing himself not to say anything...'cause you never know what's gonna set that boy off :)

  12. Last picture for the win!
    How cute!
    And I'm glad he was calm during his dentist appointment! I know I wasn't for my first one :P

  13. Girl eating ice cream. Too freaking cute!

  14. I have to pick just one favorite?? Well, I love the veggies from your garden, but the girls' laughing is a good one too! The ice cream one is very cute...well, I just like them all. And get some sleep, woman!

  15. #4 - embarassing innocent bystanders - that is just hilarious -- so what?? Having fun is good as long as we don't offent people!!

  16. INNOCENT BYSTANDERS! Mwahahaha. As one of five daughters in my (large) family, I can attest to the fact that this, indeed, is what girls do best. ;)

    Also, congrats on the Goodwill find. I scored a vintage emu leather pencil skirt for $3.50 last weekend. Yeah. I'm happy with that.

  17. Boy checks for chicken looks like the front of some greeting card or something. Precious.

  18. Ice cream. Babies always have an advantage.

  19. Love all the photos except #2 ... I have a phobia concerning dentists ;-(

  20. Really dig that cute Leo sock monkey! I see he's already been to Canada. If he feels like coming back, I'd love to host him.
    In the meantime, I read your comment over at Taking it On, XLMIC, and crazy body builder body does belong to me! Crazy body builder body looked at the ice cream on your daughter's chin, and crazily thought, "Is it weird that I want to wipe it off with my finger and lick it?" Don't answer. Was rhetorical. :)

  21. You have beautiful children! I love that you scored in that first pic, I love Dad's (I'm guessing it's dad) expression in the dentist's office in that second one, that sock monkey is adorable, the girls are goofballs :P, the veggies make me wish I had just eaten THEM instead of the ice cream from the carton and the chocolate while standing over the sink filled with dirty dishes, but it is the last two that get me the most! Adorable, curious boy and adorable, starry-eyed girl... just super sweet :)

  22. Great pictures, but I love the last one best!

    ReplyDelete
  23. The vegetable picture deserves its own blog! Fabulous. I like the first one the best because I see you and your wonderful goofiness in those girls' expressions but I would put any of them on my refrigerator for sure!

  24. I think my favorite part about the first one is Paul's complete lack of reaction to the whole situation. Clearly this kind of behavior (and me with a camera) is a common occurrence. Totally nonplussed! :)

  25. Your children are so beautiful...it's so hard to pick a favorite. But I do love the last two best I think. They're both stinkin' adorable!

  26. "Boy checks for eggs" gets my vote. The composition, the subject, the story this photo tells...just a great, great image.

    ReplyDelete
  27. They're all great but you know I love monkeys, so gotta go with the floral guy. And *fist bump* for one sentence captioning.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Great photos! And I'll definitely be requesting Leo.
