Blackmail

It's all fun and games 'til someone pulls out the scrapbook and starts digging into your past. We all have those photos that should never have been taken. Seriously, what inspired my mother to take a picture of my 4-year-old backside when I sported a super swimmingsuit wedgy? Why did a picture of me picking my nose ever make it into the books...a constant reminder that some habits weren't the easiest for me to break.


Now that I am a Mom I find myself following the same disturbing pattern. Something about the sight of Isac bopping into the room wearing Haddy's dress and hair bow made my fingers itch to take a picture. I'll keep it tucked away somewhere and use it only when necessity demands.

ohh I love it! It is funny that I hate those pics my mom took of me doing crazy things but I totally can't resist when it's my kids! Life is funny when it comes full circle!

Jessica said...

Oregon is a such a pretty state. I bet you love it! We are living on the south eastern part of Washington. The town we are in boundaries for I guess is Prosser...that is where our kids go to school and we go to church.. it's about 30 minutes from the farm, but we are also about 30 minutes from the Tri-Cities which is quite big...like a couple of Idaho Falls. That's where I go for everything. Other than Church. It's fun here. It's not the valley beauty wise...but it has it's own peaceful beauty. I sometimes can't believe that I love living on a farm. But I love it...it's weird!

Love, love, love this picture. I don't have any girls, but maybe I can catch Charlie or Peter someday in Mike's little sisters' clothes to get a pic like this . . .

I have memories of my brother dressed up in one of my sister's dresses twirling with us girls. I WISH WISH WISH that my mom had gotten pictures of that.
