Photo Challenge

While perusing my love
PINTEREST
I read this blog post.

And I realized I have a problem.

I HATE having my picture taken.
I definitely prefer being behind the camera.
I don’t like seeing photos of myself
because…
well…
I have wrinkles,
and more than one chin,
and a couple extra bulges here and there:
around my middle,
and my behind,
and my thighs
and my….
everything else.
Sometimes my hair doesn’t look great.
Sometimes I have food in my teeth.
Sometimes the circles under my eyes show up more than my eyes.
And sometimes,
I’m just not smiling.

But after reading that blog,
I started to realize that maybe that all that stuff doesn’t really matter.
What really matters is that my husband/kids/family
knows I love them and I love being with them.

So I decided to take the challenge.
I will take a picture with my family once a month.
With my cute husband.
My darling children.
If I can get us all together,
well,
we’ll do that too!

Scooter and I took this Monday this week.
I was feeling pretty good, so we went outside and started building a snow fort together.
There he is in all his cuteness.
There I am in all my flawed Shingle-ness.
And there we are….
TOGETHER!

(This weekend I get a pic of myself and Flynn! Yippee!)
