Keepin' it Real

I saw this on Laura's blog, and I thought I would show you a little of my house.  I did not do any cleaning or straightening before I took these pictures, as you will be able to see.  

1.  Refrigerator.  

2.  Closet/drawer.  I did not which drawer or closet to take a picture of, so I just took one of my kitchen towels, etc. drawer.  This drawer also houses stickers for Sarah Beth when she uses the potty, although she prefers m&m's.  She is just like her mother!

3.  Kitchen sink.  That's my griddle in the "clean" part.  We had pancakes for breakfast this morning.

4.  Toilet.  Again, I did not know which toilet to take a picture of, so here is "Sarah Beth's."  We call it her bathroom because it has her potty seat in it.

5.  Favorite shoes.  These are my favorite going-out-of-the-house shoes for the winter.  (I have a pair of sandals that I wear in the summer.)  

These are my "house" shoes.  My feet area always cold, so I need to wear shoes in the house.  (These are really just slippers.)

6.  Favorite room.  This is our great room/living room/den, whatever you want to call it.  It is obviously the children's favorite room, too.  (See, I told you I didn't clean up before I took these pictures.)

7.  What my kids are doing.  Actually, right now both are asleep for naps.  No, that's not true.  Daniel is asleep, but I just put Sarah Beth down.  Anyway, no pictures of that.  Here is what they were doing this morning when I took these pictures.  

Daniel chewing on a box.  I took it away from him right after I took the picture because it is his daddy's box.  And he probably doesn't need to eat any cardboard.

Sarah Beth putting together a puzzle.  No, I did not brush her hair this morning.  She screams every time I do, and sometimes it's just not worth it.  (Those are Daniel's pajamas on the armrest behind her.)

8.  Laundry.  When I took this picture, one load needed to be folded, one was in the washing machine, and one was in the dryer.  At this point, they all need to be folded except what I have already hung up.

9.  Self-portrait.  It's hard taking a self-portrait.  We went on a quick errand this morning which explains why I have make-up on and why the children still have on jackets.  (I don't put make-up on unless I plan to leave the house.  I don't think John minds, but maybe I had better check.)

10.  Dream vacation.  John and I talked the other night about going to Disney World.  Not now, but in a few years the children will be old enough to enjoy it.  I cannot think of anywhere else I would like to go.  I'm such a homebody.  (I can tell you that I do not want to make another trip to Louisiana anytime soon.)
