Get the camera!!

Anyone who knows me knows that my life can be a little crazy. It IS how I like it though. There have been several "quick, grab the camera" moments around here recently.



This one is from today. It turns out that the boy sat down on this crate thinking it was upside down. Is it wrong that I maybe ignored his cries for "help" and he had to scoot-crawl out to me? (Listen, for the past 2 months I have been with these kids 24/7. If you are yelling for me at this point someone had better be bleeding or something on fire.) Then, when I realized that there was an issue instead of helping him we all went diving for cameras? In case anyone is keeping score, you can see that clearly the dog was concerned for his well-being. I hope he mentions that to his future therapist.



I think it is best that I don't know what is happening in this picture. I really hope he never mentions THIS to his future therapist! This is what happens when you have older sisters. Yelling HELP! wouldn't have saved him in this situation either!



This is the only known picture of ShedKitty. Every summer we end up with kittens under our shed. Feral kittens and a pissed off mama. Why our shed? Why are they so mean to us when we are only trying to prevent cat-hating dogs from gobbling them up? How do they defy gravity like that when they come flying at your face? How can such a tiny kitten be so evil? It would seem that someone in this house doesn't believe ShedKitty exists. Said person was not here the last time this family lived in fear of the ShedKitties. When the family has a song created in memory of ShedKitties of the past; you had better believe ShedKitties are real, and real scary.



This was taken as photographic proof of what a feeding frenzy looks like in this house. I have on more than one occasion passed up seconds out of fear of losing a limb in the madness. It also needed to be taken to be used to torture Pops. I could hear him yelling to put all the trash back into the bags... RIGHT NOW!(even though he wasn't here.... the Pops of Christmas pasts if you will) For those of you who have no idea what those are, they are MREs. We indulge the children with them about once a year, even though they will beg for them anytime they see them. Hopefully this will not convince them that doing something like this is acceptable!

Isn't my life exciting? Wouldn't you just love to live in this crazy house? What am I going to do when they return to school and I am all alone? Who will do crazy things that need to be photographed in a hurry? Will I be able to find the camera straight -away then?
