Modeling is not my thing

My 5 year old is my new photographer. I have to give him some serious credit though...he actually takes more "clear" shots than my 7 year does, to be honest. When I asked him the other day if he wanted to try to take my picture he jumped at the chance, unlike my 7 year old who dreads taking his dear ole' mom's picture. He's over it. So during #3's nap time, #2 and I headed to the front yard to take the standard hand on the hip photo by the front door. After a few shots I figured we probably had at least one decent one and was ready to go back in. It was also like 500 degrees outside and I was hot. Then he just kept clicking the camera...he was having so much fun so I started doing funny poses and faces. We had a good laugh.

When we got in the house and I uploaded the pictures he took I had an even better laugh...I better not quit my day job because modeling is certainly not gonna work out for me. =) Funny how in your head when you pose you're thinking it'll look so cute but when you see it up on the screen you want to cringe and delete it immediately. I decided to be brave and pick a few of the better ones to throw in today, just to break up the monotony of the hand on the hip pose I do daily. I'm all about changing it up (once a year or so). =)

I totally missed "Wow Me" Wednesday yesterday...I took the day off. The kids and I went to the pool for three hours with friends after school. It was fabulous. I digress...
Maybe I'll just make that a sporadic feature...some weeks I'll post it and others I won't. There are definitely some things I have my eye on right now...all these fall roll outs are killing me! Especially since summer just decided to show up this week...I wonder if fall will ever arrive at this point.

Hope you have a great rest of your day! I'm super excited for the next Project Runway tonight...love me some "Make it work" action! Did I mention to you that my sis-in-law was actually at the outdoor runway a few episodes ago? I saw her on TV. Now she's famous. Go Hailey! =)
