Photo Challenge... Day 13

yourself with 13 things

i should have taken this picture at the pool yesterday like chelsea did. 

or on the way there... like kara.

13 things... swimming pool... PRIME opportunity.

but i didn't. 

then last night i was going to snap a picture of us at dinner (there were at least 13 things on the table, i counted).  then scott said, "don't do that, do something creative, isn't that the point?!?"

seriously... who asked him anyway?!?!

so... i didn't take a picture at dinner either.

now...

it's today.  my post is late.

AND

i still have ZERO creativity.

well... scratch that.

i have SOME creativity... 

and ZERO energy or motivation.

it's one of those days.

so...

i picked up my camera.

set the self-timer.

and parked myself in the midst of my our mess!

1&2 (boys)

3 (blocks for building... strewn ALL over the floor!)

4 (basketball) 

5 (tripod, i got it out to take a "better" picture... 

then realized the part the fastens to my camera is in scott's car, so much for that thought)

6 (jaron's bowl of cereal)

7 (pjs on end table, need to be put away!)

8 (jaron's water bottle, it's behind the basketball, you can just believe me)

9 (lamp)

10 (end table)

11 (tv remote on floor)

12 (jace's green tractor)

13 (more blocks... seriously this was HARDER than it should have been!)

and now, as i type, blocks are being THROWN across the house.  

it's time to be a big girl and face this mess!
