“Hilarious Outtakes”

It’s “Hilarious Outtakes” week at i♥faces and we’re allowed to enter up to 5 photos this time.  Here are a few of mine:

This one’s my oldest son at the end of one of our photo shoots…he was done with pictures!

This is from that same shoot, for our Christmas cards…the youngest is doing one of his screams “just because” and the oldest is making one of his typical faces…

Next we have my oldest talking to himself in the bathroom mirror, unaware Mom is taking pictures…

This one’s from our trip to Chicago…I was TRYING to get a nice shot of my hubby and son at Navy Pier…

Finally we have a shot from a family photo shoot I did for a friend…the little boy wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to smile, so we had his dad start throwing leaves at them, and the baby girl was shoveling leaves in her mouth as fast as she could…I’m not sure how many she ate that day!

Pets Only!

It’s “Pets Only!” week over at i♥faces.  I was really torn as to which photo to enter this week…I have so many pics of animals and thought of entering one in particular that is a much better quality photo than this one, but decided in the spirit of Christmas to enter this photo taken during our Christmas card shoot.  I know the title says “Pets Only” but I figured since Angie's post had a human face in it, it was okay ;-).  This is “Skip” the horse and my two little boys…we had been taking pictures for quite awhile when I took this one – I think Skip was getting tired of being a reindeer (especially since I did this same photo shoot 3 years ago when my oldest was the age of my youngest) and probably tired of screaming, bouncing boys!  All day I swear I could see her thinking “Didn’t I do this 3 years ago?  The stupid reindeer antlers were humiliating enough once…at least she didn’t make me wear the blinking nose again (only because I couldn’t find it!)…and look, the dumb broad’s pregnant again…look out in 3 more years!”

Sweet Dreams

It’s “Sweet Dreams” week over at i♥faces.  I wish I had a photo of myself sleeping, but sadly those don’t exist as my 16 month old has never slept through the night and I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant!  Ha!  This is a photo of my youngest…I was on the phone with a friend when he was ready for his nap and I guess he got tired of waiting because he just fell asleep on the kitchen floor.  Notice the extra pacifier…you can’t see it in this shot but there is a third one on the other side of his head.  He likes to carry as many extras around as possible!

Be sure to take a peek at everyone else’s sweeties dreaming at i♥faces.

You Capture – My Happy Story

The theme this week at I Should Be Folding Laundry is “Your happy story” – whatever makes you happy.  So much makes me happy, especially this time of year – I’m happy that my house smells like a pine tree and that I’m listening to Christmas music as I type this – that it would be impossible to show pics of it all.  Soooo, here are some pics of what makes me happiest – my wonderful little family (which includes the hubby, but he’s not in these), shown during our Christmas card photo shoot I did this week.

These 2 little boys make me happy every day…004_edited-2 This one made me happy first…002_edited-1029_edited-1 Then came this one…142_edited-1And I’m happy that he will also be a BIG brother next spring…045_edited-1 copy Little cute Wrangler tooshies make me happy…042_edited-1041_edited-1 Horses dressed as reindeer for Christmas card shoots make me happy (even if it didn’t make her happy!)…022_edited-1I’m happy that my boys are such, well, BOYS…Me:  “Stop spitting!”108_edited-1Him:  “I just need to spit on the ground!”109_edited-1Then, of course… the other one starts…110_edited-1And he’s a screamer too!….119_edited-1 Finally, it makes me happy that, after so many pictures turned out like these…122_edited-1123_edited-1 …and my oldest was tired of pictures…168_edited-1…okay Mom, one more…170_edited-1 copy…we finally got a couple of decent ones for the Christmas card :-)132_edited-1099_edited-1

We ♥ Tooshies!

It’s We ♥ Tooshies Week over at I♥Faces.  In a departure from their usual rule, this week’s photo does not need to contain a face, just a backside :-).  Here are my two favorite little tooshies, my two little boys, walking off into the sunset together.
