Weekly Winners… A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Dust Bunnies

Because he loves me (and because he knows I can get a little testy when faced with piles of laundry and rugs laced with Moon Sand), Mark took the kids to the park today so I could get caught up on some things around the house. I’ve been in the middle of a Feng Shui Attack, and while it’s a nice feeling knowing my dvd collection is organized according to rating and genre, and my cupboards are arranged by food group, I’ve neglected the basics this past week… such as clean toilets and windows.

Mark grabbed the camera on the way out the door, and in between trying to convince Ryerson that hanging upside down from the teeter-totter probably wasn’t such a good idea, and reminding Carter what happened the last time he decidedĀ  to climb a tree (which required 14 stitches and a plastic surgeon), he managed to take a few really cute pictures.

Enjoy the pictures, and until next time… that’s all, ya’ll!

Disclaimer: In case I’ve never mentioned this, I have a problem following simple directions (so that’s why my kids don’t listen… hmmm, go figure), such as “… pictures YOU took”, as instructed by Sarcastic Mom. Forgive me, Lotus… I know not what I read. Actually, I didn’t notice the, ahem, fine print (which, unfortunately, was glaringly obvious, but I prefer to blame my shortcomings on circumstances outside of my control), so I promise that next week I’ll play by the rules and post pictures that I took.

I pinky swear.

  11. Great shots, for sure!! I love the one of your boy in the tree.

  12. They are great photos! Looks like that was a fun day

  13. Fun shots! Welcome to Weekly Winners!

  14. These are lovely, and technically you and hubby are a partnership, so you could call these “yours” and probably fit within the guidelines!!

  15. Doesn’t that phrase ‘What’s mine is yours, and yours is mine” apply when you get married? See, these are your shots then!

    And they’re great!

  16. The clouds are my favorite. I love good cloud shots.

  17. Holy Crap! You don’t need my piddly comment anymore..lol 15 comments. I wish my hubby would remember to take the camera with him. I used your word on him this morning, called him an @sshat..lol

    Hugs

  18. LOL. How cute and sweet that he took them and remembered to take the camera. Great pictures! I spent all day organizing like a madwoman, it’s such a good feeling!!
    Have a great day.

  19. Great photos of your handsome guys, and the sky one is great!

  20. Great winners this week showing lots of summer-y fun! My faves are the 1st & 2cd ones :)

  21. Hey, you get points because he did it without being told. ;-)
    Of course it’s okay – no biggie. I’m easy like that. Husband/wife teams isn’t really cheating – you were united as one, right? *wink*

    Lovely photos. That “Soap Box” shirt and the blue jog pants with the white numbers? Totally also in Braden’s collection. Yay for Target! Heheheh.

  22. I love the tree picture. Please be there for me when one of my boys falls and needs the 14 stitches and plastic surgeon. I will be Twittering from the ER…

  23. Great shots! And in a court of law, husbands and wives are considered “one unit”, therefore stake your claim!
    And a thousand dust bunnies? Surely, there’s a record in that somewhere!

  24. Love the first two. They’re awesome.

  25. He got some great photos. Love the one of the clouds. And, did you get your laundry and loos done?

  26. I’d say one camera per blog fits the bill :) Great pics.

  27. WTF? I forgot to read this one. The pictures are great but I have one problem… You wash your windows every week??? Look. You just can’t be making me look bad, m’kay?

    Lurve ya!
