The other side of the camera - 6/52

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!

Last week I wanted a fish kiss picture with Logan which didn't happened. I'm still working on one. But in the meantime, we took this photo at school.


It was my workday and both Jack and Logan were having a rough day. The only way I could get them to agree to sit down and eat lunch was by telling them we could all sit together...just the three of us. Finally...no more tears, no more whining, no more crying. Just mama and her two boys on a lunch date...

  10. It looks like a great lunch date to me! At least they are past the stage of dumping their entire bowl/plate of food all over the floor. I think that I might become a professional floor cleaner by the time Hazy is two. ha ha ha
    Thanks for sharing such a fun picture with us. :)

  13. Very cute picture of you & your boys at school! Sometimes you just gotta do whatever it takes to get them to eat!! In the summer, sometimes the only way they'll eat is if I let them eat outside on the kids picnic table! lol

  15. Moms always know how to make it better. Your so loved. Just think one day they'll be all grown and you'll just be hoping that they spend more time with you.

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!
