Photo Challenge Day 4

Today's challenge was a favorite toy. Kate chose to focus on the trampoline and gained cooperation from Makenna for her shot. I may be handing Kate the camera to capture all the teenagers.

Mom's photo

 In other news, you know you are the mother of teenagers when....

  • you have a car payment but have nothing to drive
  • when you actually do get your vehicle back, it is running on fumes
  • you assume your child is lying at the bottom of a hidden ravine somewhere because she was missing for two hours
  • you lose more sleep waiting on them to come in from outings with friends than you did with them as newborns
  • and more so when they are out with boys!
  • you can talk about life with someone who is starting to understand it and form their own opinions
  • the laughter is amazing
  • so are the tears
  • typically in the same day you experience both emotions simultaneously.
Motherhood. It's quite a ride.

We're heading out to celebrate Miss Devyn's third birthday. Yesterday she played with Makenna's makeup and was quite interested in "blending in with a brush" followed closely by applying lip balm to her forehead. She's adorable.

I love all of these photo challenges and look forward to seeing all the creativity each day. Kate's photo is awesome in this one and I love your perspective by taking a pic of Brutus with his toy in this one.
I also really loved what you wrote about being a mom of teenagers. You are such an awesome Momma and your kids are so blessed to have you.
