The other side of the camera - 3/52

Forever In Blue Jeans

I'm participating in what I think is a really smart weekly challenge hosted by Carin at Forever in Blue Jeans. It seems like mamas spend an awful lot of time behind the camera. The idea of this challenge is for mamas to get on the other side of the camera in at least one photo a week.

When my boys grow up they'll inherit hundreds of thousands of photos taken from their childhood, but how many of those will show their mama? At least for this year I can answer 52!

Another week...another unflattering photo!
This pic was taken at Disneyland. I'm making that strange face because I was slightly annoyed that Scott was not getting the whole castle in the photo.
I guess I should be thankful we got this photo out of the way before it poured rain on us...talk about unflattering!

  2. Personally, I think it is far from unflattering. I think you're beautiful :) Of course in a non-weird stranger from a-far kinda way.

  3. I think you're absolutely gorgeous, and although I don't know what your hubby looks like, I now know how the boys got to be so beautiful!

  4. You look pretty good to me, but i actually have a question about the stroller.

    My Maclaren (single) broke and I want a new stroller. But I want one that is single but can allow for another child. It is between your kind and the Valco (the Valco can have a jump seat for the toddler in front). I keep thinking that the kid at the bottom can not be comfortable. Does he ever complain? How do you like this type of stroller. Did it work well in the infant phase?

  5. Oh, If I could count the number of unflattering photos we have of me at both Disneyland and Disney World! (but I think you look great in this pic!) I love this challenge!

  6. I think that is a great picture.. I think that is why us mom's take the pictures. I hate getting my picture taken. We are being brave to do this...LOL

  7. I think it's a good picture!! Just think how it would look after being in the rain. I have Hong Kong Disney pictures just like that. Not pretty.

  8. Oh my gosh...I totally like this picture of you! But, I know what you mean, I'm sure you have other pictures of yourself that you like better. I'm like that too. I may hate a picture of myself, but someone else will like it.

    Did you get any castle pics? LOL

  13. My photo was very unflattering of me. I think yours looks great. I guess an unflattering photo is better than not photo at all. m

Yeah! I love comments! Feel free to leave me one (or two or three).
But remember what your mama said..."If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Thanks!
