Want To See Some Shoes?

Lol ... We couldn't pass this up, Rachel! Chris was in on it too - he kept me honest. ;)

Picture Blog Tag.
The rules are you have to take ten pictures of the following things. And you have to do it right away. No straightening, cleaning or wiping your child's nose. Then you tag five others.

1. The Fridge - Ok, I have kids who make their own breakfasts and most days, their own lunches as well. lol So, YES it's always messy like this, though we usually have more food in it. :)



2. The Closet - This is our living room closet, where we put coats for winter, golf clubs for summer, huge music cases, the vacuum, and all those magazines that I never get around to going through, and end up being collage-makers for the kids.



3. A Self Portrait - Here I am! Aren't I a great artist? lololololol (Playing around with my camera's photo shop-type program.) HEE HEE! (Too bad ya didn't think of this one!)



4. Your Favorite Room - This is my dining room, seen from just above the end of the table. Homeschooling books in one corner, computer and MTEC books in the other. Lol! Always cluttered but clean, I love this room because of all the memories it holds.



5. The Kitchen Sink - Here is the worst thing about my house, almost: The color of the kitchen. *dies * But yeah. There's absolutely nothing I can do to doctor up this pic to make it look good. It's a horrible sink. And I just cleaned out the fridge of leftovers about an hour ago (BEFORE taking the pictures!) so all the containers are waiting to be washed. *sigh * I WILL have a better kitchen one day. I will.



6. The Laundry Room - Ok, no way was I going to go all the way downstairs (42 stairs!!) just to take a pic of the laundry room. Sorry. :) So here's the laundry basket waiting to be folded. (The yellow is a dress of Ember's. Cute, isn't it?)



7. The Toilet - Here's strong evidence, yet again, that I have children. They mess around with bathroom things all the time. And I usually flip the calendar every day, but didn't get around to it today. lol Also again, no point doctoring this one!


8. What Are Your Kids Doing Right Now? - Well, here's the typical mess that the two boys make about four times a day, during the summer. lol

And here's Ember playing with Calista.



9. Your Dream Vacation - HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



10. Your Favorite Shoes - I don't normally like shoes, but I LOVE these ones! Unfortunately, I don't get many occasions to wear them. And sometimes when you're dressing up, brown just doesn't cut it. But I still love these shoes. I believe they're the only pair I've ever loved in my entire life - I normally just tolerate shoes in general! lol But these are my "dream shoes" (hence the effects) and I actually own them. :)


Hmm, I don't know five blogging people to tag, yet! I'm new to the whole blogging world! So Sara and Sarah, since you're the only other bloggers that I know, consider yourself tagged!!

I love it all! And your farmhouse sink IS cool. But white is a pain. (I feel your pain with white countertops and a white sink. I already ditched the white linoleum.) Still, I do love a good deep farmhouse sink.

I do like your artistry. I was toying with making a self-portrait in my photoshop program...but I decided to 'fess up. ;)

Those ARE great looking shoes. Very very cute. I bet they would be adorable with slacks or a khaki skirt.

loved your picture blog!! Add me to another Sarah you can get to know. ;-) lol I love your shoes and I too love the farmhouse sink. The kids playing is so fun! So many times I take pics of them doing one thing with everything cleaned up when in reality that rarely is the atmosphere in our house!
