The other side of the camera - Lazy day

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!

It is extremely rare for the boys and I to stay home all day. For whatever reason, they are usually much better behaved out in public than in the house. So every morning, I come up with something for us to do out of the house.

But today, I woke with a migraine and really needed a lazy morning. And luckily, the boys played really well together and separately all morning long at home...though they probably watched a bit to much TV. Okay, well, a lot too much TV.

This picture was taken at about 1PM. The boys are both still in their pjs and I've got wet hair and no makeup because I'd just gotten out of the shower. Definately a much needed lazy day...

  2. There have been days (usually in the winter when we don't go outside) that my kids stay in the pajamas from the time they get up until they go to bed. I'm glad they were good for you!

  5. Well, I didn't notice you weren't wearing makeup at all. It was those blue eyes that jumped out at me.

    What a good mom to stop and just take it easy. I always try to push forward and make a muddle of things.

  7. Now, Carey, these two boys look so completely angelic. There is no way in the world that they have ever caused you any kind of trouble. Ever.

  12. Pj days are the best! I think it's important to have them every once in awhile. Especially if your hit with a migraine. I'm glad the boys played well. I love when that happens.

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!
