Our Week In Crappy Cell Phone Pics (6/29/17)

RealMomRecs Our Week in Crappy Cell Phone Pics

School’s out now, so our crappy cell phone pics should reflect the utter chaos that is our current home life.

We are spending most of our days at the pool to avoid killing each other at home.

Push up pops always seem like a good idea until an over-excited kid pushes it all the way up, out, and into the dirt.

Nothing says “classy” like a baby wearing only a diaper playing with a red Solo cup.

 

When you’re only 7 but you’re pretty much too cool for everything.

 

Brought the kids to watch a baseball game so they could eat their weight in junk food and still have no understanding of baseball.

 

Parenting riddle: How many fairs does a Mom need to attend before she realizes it’s pointless to try to take pictures of a moving ride?

 

Ice bucket challenge: toddler edition

 

I completely underestimated the level of humiliation a 7 and 8 year old could feel from an over-excited Mom wanting a pic of their first swim meet.

 

Adventures in grocery shopping with 4 kids, or “when parents bury their young in food products”.

 

Luca selfie

Kids today with their cell phones. It’s like they start taking selfies when they’re practically babies.

 

Letting 4 year olds walk along the stone wall and jump into an 8 year old’s arms: file that one under “seemed like a good idea at the time.”

 

When your kid gets her face painted and turns into a real life Snapchat filter.

 

RMR crappy photos

The kids got to go in these giant human hamster balls for the last day of school. When I was a kid we got our thrills from the possibility of being burned going down the big metal slide.

Our Week In Crappy Cell Phone Pics (6/8/17)

I’m hoping you’ll notice my pics are getting gradually less crappy. I’m on Instagram now (look at me trying to be a millennial or a Cool Mom or something!) so I’m putting some serious effort into learning how to take pictures that aren’t awful. Or as close to not-awful as you can get when you’re photographing uncooperative moving subjects with a cell phone.

Tiana had her dance recital, which means we dress her up like a clown and let her wear red lipstick and then smuggle her out during intermission so we don’t have to stay and watch the whole thing. (Told you I’m a slacker mom!)

Now that I’m trying to take cool pictures, we experiment with shots like this. We tell the small child it’s ok if we end up getting tackled after.

Zari was a rabbit in his first grade play. It was super cute, even if the acting left something to be desired.

Sometimes we take the kids to the beach even though it’s freezing out. The we yell at them to have a good time.

 

“Enough already Mom with the trying to take cool pictures! Can’t a baby just swing???”

Taught the kids the good old baking soda + vinegar trick. The next day I overhear kid2 to kid3: “We’re gonna need safety goggles for this!”

“Do something cute and act like you love each other! Don’t you know Mommy needs Instagram followers???”

When you’re trying to get a pretty picture of your kid’s new hair style, but also trying not to show that you’re at McDonalds.

Elle was so excited to get to school for “beach day”, we arrived there 10 minutes early. Trust me, this is news people!

Until next time!
