The Real Us

This has been a tough week. Around here when the going gets rough, I get out my camera to mix things up! I wanted to try out the tripod Steve got me for Christmas to take a few shots of what a typical day at home looks like.

Here are the 3 of us, sitting in front of the bed I make everyday in vain since Clark wastes no time unmaking it and throwing all the pillows on the floor. Too bad the layer of toys spread across the floor is cropped out. I have makeup on but haven't touched my hair, per my usual look. Clark is characteristically missing pants--his typical at-home look since I potty trained him. Lana is still wearing pajamas and it's after lunch. Who knows? She may end up wearing them all day until I change her into different PJ's tonight. In one picture she's sporting a bit of spit up since I took the photo before I noticed. oh well. We may not be perfectly put together but we're still smiling!
One day I'll take a "nice" family photo of all 4 of us, but I think it'll be just as fun to look back someday on a more realistic view of my life as a young mom.

I love how your real view is still so much "prettier" than my real view. I also love the contrast between the first and the second baby...my first I always had dressed for the day including a headband. My second is still often in pj's all day long!
