OK, I am probably a bad mom to do this, but I have to post a couple funny pictures. I am in that  pre-Christmas mode, where I have so much to do and I need to do it right now. So I got it in my head that I wanted to take the kids' Christmas card picture yesterday morning. I was obviously in total denial about Henry's REALLY BAD bedhead (he went to bed with wet hair). He desperately needs a haircut, but that's easier said than done with this kid. So here is one of the pictures I took:
What was I thinking? Like I'm going to send my friends and family this picture??!! Not to mention that Thomas has food on his face.

In my defense, I think I see my children through rose-colored mommy glasses. I often bring pictures in to work to show off and once I see them through someone else's eyes, I think, "oh, his face was really dirty there" or "gosh, they're only half-dressed in this one." But obviously at the time I thought my kids were being so darn cute that I needed to capture it in a photo.

A couple weeks ago Bill was going to take Tommy along to Henry's swimming lesson. So I got out the trunks and a swim diaper, which Thomas promptly put on his head. Then he put the trunks on over his pants. Why?!


I think both of these pictures will make me laugh for awhile...

One of the funniest pictures I have is of a 2 year old Isaac sitting on his potty pretending to read a newspaper! We also have one (of each kid) when each was a little under a year old - we'd wait til they we sleeping then put an empty beer bottle under one hand and a remote control under the other.

My poor kids. And you KNOW I'm going to break these out as soon as they start dating!!!

You have some adorable little boys there - Love the bedhead pic - and I totally can relate to not noticing that my kids have dirty faces or magic marker up their nose until I see the pictures on my screen - I'm just thinking "hey they're cute right now".

Charlie used to go off to school with some impressive cowlicks--we do a newsletter with a bunch of photos, funny and sweet and food-stained too!

Moms always have on those rosey glasses, 24/7, don't we?
