If my house were on fire I’d grab these first …

Written by on May 3, 2010 in BLOG - 22 Comments

So I’ve been tagged by @cosmicgirlie AKA Mocha Beanie Mummy AKA Jay Mountford Photography.

I have to do “interesting things in 7 photos”.

So here are the “rules”, if you will …

1. You must thank the person who has given you the award (Yeah, thanks. As if Tara Lara’s bloody Gallery didn’t test my photographic archives enough …)

2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog

3. Link the person who has nominated you for the award

4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting – (Mocha Beanie mummy has altered this to 7 photos and I’m liking that)

5. Nominate 7 other Kreativ Bloggers

6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate

7. Let the nominated bloggers know they have been tagged

So here are my 7 interesting photos;

Number 1 – Nesting Bowls/Lights of My Life

My Sister bought these as a wedding gift.  They are beautiful.  If our house were on fire I would grab these first.  Sad, but true.

Number Two – The Funniest Lamb Ever

This is my boy, aged just 2, at Hesketh Farm Park in North Yorkshire.  Just before this picture was taken he was peering into the lamb’s enclosure when a rather friendly lamb tried to leap up at him.  This was taken seconds later.  He thought it as the funniest thing ever.  It warms my cockles so it does.

Number Three – A Sophisticated Couple, If Ever I Saw One

I don’t think this requires any explanation.

Number Four – The One Eyed Poo From Kathmandu

This work of art was brought home by my 4 year old last year.  I had absolutely no idea what it was.  I eventually found out it was, in fact, a snail, but we all had fun when I opened it up to you, my readers, to decide.

Number Five – The Studious One

This is the 5 year old.  She spends most of her time drawing or writing.  This is where she sits sometimes when I’m cooking.  she pretends to interview me.  Clearly a good day at school; Check out the remains of her lunch on her jumper and her scabby bruised knees.

Number Six – A Field of Happy Campers

This was last year’s camping holiday to Robin Hood’s Bay.  It’s a crap photo but I love that my nearest and dearest are all running round a field having fun as the sun sets.

Number Seven – Sisters

This is The Teenager and the 5 year old three years ago.  You would be forgiven for thinking we were on a beach in the UK, overcast and gloomy … but no, this was a lake in France, during ten days of drizzle. Despite the rain we had a good time …

Number Eight – The Reason I get Up in The Morning

I know I’m cheating, it said ‘seven photos’.  Shoot me.

So, the title of this photo sounds like a cliche, but without these two I would stay in bed, have a lie in.  I would need an alarm clock to get up for work.  Who needs an alarm clock when you have these beaming faces in your face at 6.48 every morning without fail?

So I am tagging you;

    It is brilliant having two delightful bundles of fun instead of an alarm clock….usually – unless they have woken up grumpier than they ever have before and don’t change ALL DAY. (Hey – they are only human but it ain’t half annoying when they do)

    Thanks for loving my bowls so much. Thanks for helping make my new house a home yesterday and hope 4 year old hasn’t shot anyone yet and that 5 year old new horse is behaving. It’s called T
    Trquin by the way.x

      It couldn’t be called anything else … Tarquin is a fine name for a horse. The gun was confiscated on the way home, due to some dangerous manouevres.

      Are you already online?

    Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I saw I had been tagged with the kreativ blogger meme again . (just finished doing it for the 3rd time)

    But it is a variation so will give it a go-thanks so much.

    When I saw you title was hoping it was the 7 things you would take with you if your house was on fire meme.

    Maybe I will do it that way in pictures-5 kids plus hubby that’s 6, then photo albums would be 7 and am all done. :-)

      I think I’ve done it twice now, although this variation was most enjoyable!

      I’m glad you didn’t accidentally hit ‘e’ in the middle of bowls.

    AWESOME. That’s a great collection!! I can’t wait to see how far this all goes now…

    PS I totally thought number four was an all seeing number two, but yeah I would also have said snail.

    Obviously.

    Btw? Your kiddos? OMG HOW GORGEOUS?

    That is all.
