I ♥ Faces - self portrait

-


What a HAAARD week to play...
But I Heart Faces,...(I really do!) & I wanted to play...

posting pictures of myself, by myself, over the age of 2, isn't my favorite thing to do.


My much older sister (happy b-days sista) saw the picture & said I looked like LADY GAGA... I don't think she meant is as a compliment... So here it is...My non-Poker face....


So head on over to I Heart Faces, & see who else is playing!






I was pretty sure I had alot of self portraits with my kids...but no... I don't... Hmm, & was he really this little?




I need to start snapping more shots with my babies..





This me... in all of my mommy glory...
No makeup.. & lots of sun...


(Dane & I were just home from a day on the beach...)
I changed the background so the beach towel wasn't so obvious.

head on over to see who else is playing... I Heart Faces

Hi! I like these pictures- they make us see each other with fresh eyes. And speaking of eyes- yours are knock down gorgeous. My sister always says that I'm beautiful- even when I look like crap- so I'm thinking your sister meant GAGA in the very nicest interpretation.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
