Nearly a month ago Emilie used the insurmountable power of "tagging" to hereby force me to take pictures of my house, messy or not. It took a while, but I did it. (More quickly than most of the other people she tagged, I might add.) Evidently the rules are that you have to take pictures of things in their current state. No cleaning, straightening or wiping of noses. Think of yourself as a National Geographic photographer of your own life, duty bound by your journalistic code to be accurate and true-to-life. Emilie specifically said that I had to take 10 pictures, but then only posted 9 herself, so I was forced to make up my own 10th thing.

Favorite Shoes
I spent a fair time trying to figure out what those would be. I finally decided that it must be the shoes that I would be most bummed out if they broke, and since I just had a pair break and it bummed me out. Here they are.

Kid #2
This is not, in any way, to be construed to be any sort of announcement. This is simply the best I could do. I figure that if my second child were to have any physical location, this would be it. Come back in a few years for a better picture.

Closet (mine)
This is actually quite clean. Of course, I wasn't instructed to take a picture of the pile of clothes on the floor just outside the closet.

Fridge
A bit fuzzy. But if you look close, you might be able to see your picture on it

Kitchen Sink
Hey, the rules never said I had to take good, sharp pictures of anything.

Toilet

Laundry Room(a)
No possible picture can be taken of our entire laundry room, so you get a bonus 11th picture.

Laundry Room(b)1st Kid
The order of these pictures confuses me. Why is kid #2 first, and why are the two not together? Also, why don't we call this one kid #1?

Favorite Room
I've decided this is the "Starcraft Room"
Bed
I decided that the extra picture to bring the total up to ten (excluding the bonus picture of the dryer) should be my bed. Thankfully, Shannon makes it for me.
