I Should Be …

Published by on

Getting ready for our trip to Vancouver, I have at least a dozen loads of laundry that need doing.

But I’m sick, so I’ve done nothing but sit on the sofa with my laptop, processing photos.

Hayley

I had to ‘guilt’ Hayley into showing up for the photo shoot. {FINE! Don’t blame me went your the only one missing from the photos!} Apparently she had really important stuff to do like buying groceries and cleaning her apartment! {Get your butt to the park … }

Lizzy

This kid was willing to have her photo taken, but in her quest to look ‘just right’ she tried removing a ‘really long’ eyebrow hair with a razor, and shaved 1/3 of her right eyebrow off (left one in the photo). I filled it in with my Benefit Smokin’ Eye Kit. I didn’t even have to photoshop it in. {Sheesh kid your only eleven. Leave your eyebrows alone!}

Sam

This guy couldn’t find any shoes. NONE! He proposed wearing a mismatched pair of flip-flops. {HUH?} He ended up wearing his sister’s old combat boots from Army Cadets. The weight of them seriously hindered his jumping abilities in the group jumping shots. {Hmm … I wonder if maybe he was trying to pay me back for the haircut I gave him (Oops! I’m still learning :( )}

Georgia

This one had a run-in with the razor too! She cut her leg shaving!. {HUH?} She didn’t realise she’d cut herself until she’d been out of the shower about fifteen minutes, and she noticed the blood running down her leg and between her toes. Hopefully, we’ve both learned a lesson, I’ll put my razor out of reach and she’ll wait until her teens before attempting to shave again. {Dear Lord, Give me strength!}

X your fingers I feel better soon. I’d hate to have to wear my fleece pajama pants to Vancouver.

This post made me smile! Your kids are so gorgeous – and I would never have known about Lizzy’s eyebrow! You did a good job with the make up :-)
Oh, and I am loving Sam’s ear stud … he is looking older by the second! I’d love to get Ethan’s ear pierced but I don’t even think HE would go for it, let alone hubby, LOL!
I hope you feel be…tter soon :-)

    @Hannah, Thanks Hannah! Sam’s ear piercing was spur of the moment.

    Mr. MK, wasn’t overly thrilled when we arrived home with it.

    BUT, I’d let Lizzy do it the year before at the exact age and I couldn’t think of any reason that wasn’t sexist to tell him he couldn’t do his.

Hey Kim. The kids look awesome (even Lizzy’s eyebrow!). They are all truly gorgeous. I love the pics. I still want you to take mine. We need to set up a time. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

    @Jo, Thanks Jo! I can’t wait to do Lucy, James and Ben!
