My kids have taken some photos of me that I'm tempted to delete (here I am looking intense while clippering someone's hair; here I am doing dishes, as seen from 3 feet off the ground; here is what my butt looks like from that same 3 feet off the ground) but then I think that this is the way I look to the kids so they're probably not going to be looking sentimentally for photos of me looking like Cindy Crawford.<br /><br />Your potholder is cute!Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-88556911098502008162010-01-12T08:30:15.558-06:002010-01-12T08:30:15.558-06:00Wow..thank you for this reminder.

Here's a little story for you. My MIL sent some photos that she'd taken while she was here visiting. The kinds of photos she takes are the ones I would "delete"...kids sitting on the couch with red-eye, etc. So I'd thrown away one of her and me that had no value from a photog. standpoint and it also happened to be unflattering of me. Well wouldn't ya know it, the kids found it and asked why I threw it away. What do you say to that? I just said that I didn't like the photo and they said "well we do!" It was a good reminder that a picture of their mom (and grandma) is of such value to them....thanks Jen.-KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-31558078808855559842010-01-11T21:07:00.649-06:002010-01-11T21:07:00.649-06:00Now that my mom has died, I am SO angry that she w...Now that my mom has died, I am SO angry that she was behind the camera all the time... I just want ONE picture of us together that I love. But it was her or I behind the camera almost 100% of the time.<br /><br />Why is it so hard for men to get into photo taking?Classy Fab Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657528206098219881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-15760193355264276762010-01-11T18:47:40.128-06:002010-01-11T18:47:40.128-06:00You are so right.

Today you would find "Morning Mommy" still preparing dinner...I can relate to celebrating in not forgetting a child! What does it mean when your 11year old feels the need to take roll everytime we get in the car?<br />Your pot holder brought back memories of 1st grade!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125931870470150067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-42852048355127306162010-01-11T15:45:33.739-06:002010-01-11T15:45:33.739-06:00Sounds like a conversation I had with my husband a...Sounds like a conversation I had with my husband at Christmas ... "Honey, it's great that we have picture memories of you doing each thing with the kids this Christmas - they are going to wonder if I was even there?!" ... But, like you, I'm ALWAYS behind the camera. And I don't like ASKING him to take the pics of me with the kids ... but I should. Thanks for the reminder :)<br /><br />And - I just bought my 5 yr old a cheap point and shoot because she too LOVES to take pics. And she took great ones of my butt and legs last week when we went bowling! ;)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033182897223142464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-88174922957990072542010-01-11T14:00:23.837-06:002010-01-11T14:00:23.837-06:00It's hard to be the family archivist and remem...It's hard to be the family archivist and remember to include yourself in the archives. I figure that my blog is a good testimony to who I am as a mother. If I were to get hit by a bus today, my children would have an idea of who I am and what I valued. I try to get professional portraits done somewhat regularly so that we do have some photos together. My husband pointed out, though, that I forgot to say anything about myself and my accomplishments for the year in our annual Christmas letter.Sadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042551936789254047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-16184191584012133332010-01-11T13:48:43.162-06:002010-01-11T13:48:43.162-06:00i can SO relate to this!

I have to force my husband into taking pictures of me with the boys, because, like Charlie, he doesn't look at photography in the same light.<br /><br />I need to get over the whole, "ug, my hair looks awful, I need to lose baby weight, I have no makeup, blah, blah, blah".

I like my picture taken, but I am alsways behind the camera. They kids are not going to know what I look like! It makes me nervious to give my (2) 3 years old my camera, I am afraid they will break it!monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192307518144845441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-22233307437833325272010-01-11T05:59:03.931-06:002010-01-11T05:59:03.931-06:00Hilarious!
