Dana technically tagged me at 7:30am this morning when I read her blog. So all of the pictures were taken this morning at that time, even though I am just now putting the post together. I even broke down and took the self portrait at that time, too, with no shower or even my teeth brushed yet. LOVELY. I decided to play by the rules. :-)
1. The Fridge: Colin is in this picture because you cannot open the door without him trying to take everything at eye level out. This is a VERY good description of what it is like to go into our fridge. :-)
2. A Closet: This is my favorite closet in the house because this is where I keep all the Christmas stuff! This is also where all of my suits are stored since I certainly don't wear them at the moment!
3. The Kitchen Sink: I just had to take the picture at this angle...it just so happens that I had sippy cups for Colin and Mama drying this morning. HA!
4. A Bathroom: This is our small second bathroom. It is very hard to get a picture of it because of the size and layout, but lord knows it is in better shape than our master bath, so here ya go!
5. Favorite Shoes: This, good people, is a hard one for me. I love shoes. I have a LOT of shoes. It used to be my obsession before I had a baby. I am choosing these for the picture after much internal debate. I adore my red shoes. I love the toe and the color and the kitten heel...I LOVE THEM. I used to rock these shoes. I have not had the chance to wear them since I started staying home. I may need to start wearing them to the post office. :-) I have good shoes.
6. Favorite Room: I am choosing our bedroom for my favorite room. This room has become our own little sanctuary and I love it. Colin does not spend any real time in this room since it is gated off and it is the only room that is free of toddler things. The layout of our house means that in our bedroom we are the farthest away from Colin's room, so Jer and I always spend our entire evenings in our room after Colin goes to bed. We watch TV, Jer catches up on work if he needs to, I blog from the laptop and we just hang out without disturbing Colin. We both find it soothing and comfortable and it feels good to just exist with each other for a few hours just the two of us. I also make our bed in the mornings because with the rest of my house covered in baby chaos, it soothes my soul to have one neat place to retreat to. You can probably also see the baby monitor and a stack of magazines on my side of the bed. I love to spend the evenings reading. Right now, I am working on the "Cooking Light" and "Parenting" September issues. And yes, that is my fat cat Ferris Mewler.
7. Self Portrait: The funny thing about this? Despite the fact that I took this picture first thing in the morning with no shower and still in pj's while feeding Colin breakfast, I love it. I decided to include Colin and held the camera up to us. He thought it was so funny that I did that and started to laugh! So even though I look horrible, the flash is scary, and for some reason my sun damage is highlighted (ugh!), I love this! :-) This is what we look like every morning together as we share our breakfast. Me and my boy in our pj's having some Eggo's!
Now I tag Shannon, Melissa, and April! Get going, girls!! :-)

Uh Oh! I'll do it Chalna...but only because I had such a darn good time reading yours! It's naptime, so I'll try to post it in the next few hours. And I won't cheat, even though I am sorely tempted to make my bed after seeing how nice and neat YOURS looks. Ha. And one other thing...I seriously go into convulsions of laughter whenever your write about "Ferris Mewler"...I'm not kidding, it just makes my day. That is the most brilliant and hilarious name I've ever heard. I tried to tell Travis about it the first time I read it in your blog and it took me about five minutes to spit it out because I was laughing so hard.
You are super cool for participating!
the fridge: love that big ol bottle of vodka. Oh, and Gabby is the same way...the sound of the fridge door opening is like a dog whistle for her to come running.
the sink: love the sippies :) Oh, and is that cat food in the background, safe from grabby toddler hands? Ours lives on the kitchen counter too.
bathroom: that is a great color!
shoes: You DO have good shoes! I could use a pair like that.
favorite room: I was going to call BS as soon as I saw your beautifully made-up bed. But after I read your commentary, I GUESS I believe you do make up your bed every morning. I never do on work days, but I love a made up bed! Pretty room!
self portrait: TOOO CUTE!! I love both of your sweet smiling faces!
Yeah...I was pretty much hoping that the huge bottle of Vodka Cosmo's in the fridge might be overlooked. ;-)
And YES, that is TOTALLY CAT FOOD up on the counter. Colin (and Enzo, for that matter!) will eat any pet food within reach. Does that stop soon?!?! :-)
so it's late and I'm tired... so tomorrow I'll play your game promise! :)
