The other side of the camera - Sleepy time

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!

This week we went to one of our favorite summertime parks. Not only is there a large grass area and sandy playground but in the summer there is a large water play area. We met up there for our weekly playdate with Jack and Logan's school friends.

After all that hard play, the boys decided to rest with me for awhile. Before I realized what was happening they were both sound asleep on my legs.

  9. Those two boys are so precious and beautiful!! I love these photos, and the one of you! Too funny that they had so much fun they 'crashed'. I hope that when/if we move to SoCal, the area we move to has a water splash park thingy like this, my kids would love it!!

  21. Oh, that is so sweet. The little Tikes wore themselves out. What I am wondering is how long did it take before you couldn't feel your legs?

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!
