Dysfunctional Family Photo Album

I realized the length of my last post after I pressed publish... sorry! If you're anything like me, you lost interest by the second paragraph, I have a short attention span .. I like pictures and short sentences. Which is ironic because I have a tendency to write run-on sentences and ramble and don't include many pictures because I suck at photography. But I'll shut up now!

It is Day 4 of Operation Staycation. It is an ugly rainy day which could have made for some ugly situations- everyone cooped up in the house and all, but my husband went to visit his mom today (Woo Hoo). I had the landscaper that is redoing my patio come over so we could get the final plans ready to start work on Monday. I will be referring to him as "Hot Boy" and with any luck, I may be able to post a pic of him in action- preferably without his shirt!

As an apology for the marathon novel that I wrote yesterday... I decided I would put in some pics with short captions for those kindred folks with Attention Deficit, like myself.


The Beebs- she's such a ham!




All the kids chillin' in da tub!



Proof that my son has inherited my poor picture taking ability




My husband and I watched Jackass #2 last night- I guess I'm still in a dimented frame of mind- I couldn't help but snap this one when my son fell into a bush and his boney butt broke the sprinkler underneath.



Hurry, take the picture- they're not hurting each other!



"MOTHER OF FOUR CHOPPED UP IN TINY PIECES AND FOUND IN SUITCASE IN THE BASEMENT"- make sure these two are on the top of the suspect list!




Yes, that is a Pampered Chef chip clip in her hair!



Me, looking somewhat smug...husband was out for the day, got to watch "Hot Boy" take measurements, it's raining, so fireworks will be at a minimum tonight- all in all, not a bad day!

Dysfunctional? Okay, if you say so. But the little darlin' with the clip in her hair is gorgeous (just like her Mom) and the three older kids look 'normal' - the girls are pretty and the boy is handsome - and everyone looks ... happy ... so, I ask again, Dysfunctional?

Tenakim said...

Lceel- Thanks for the compliments- they clean up pretty well, but looks can be decieving!

C said...

Your kids are cute--you're adorable! I think your little one looks just like your husband (although I only saw him in that 1 video, so I'm not sure if I remember exactly what he looks like.)
Happy 4th!

Christy- you're exactly right- good call from a crummy quality video, by the way. The little one doesn't remotely resemble me- she's the only one that looks more like my husband.

Jill said...

Love the photos! You have a beautiful family - and you're a hottie too (just sayin'). :)

BTW - NICE hot tub!!

Caroline said...

Honeybell said...

FYI to answer your questions back from my blog...DH was Scoutmaster for Cub Scouts...he had NO CHOICE to wear those costums...besides I think he is really only 12 on the inside...and we are south of Chicago.

Tiffany said...

Thats a good looking family you got there. And you are so pretty. I'm straight so don't worry. LOL And I can't wait to see Hot Boy.
