Kids Live Here {Wordless Wednesday with Linky}

by Tammi on 01/24/2012 · 96 comments

I look around and notice that each room has remnants of the kids, even hair ties decorating every knob and door handle in the house.

All evidence that kids live {and play} here.

Even though I’ve dropped out of the blog-writing sphere I still like to pop in on you! Love the last picture with the ponytails!! I have 3 girls (6, 6, 3) and we have ponytails EVERYWHERE… and hairbands, and clips, and hairbrushes…

Thanks for coming by still, think you’ll make a blogging reappearance soon?
And, the hair ties are worse than missing socks – they go missing by the dozens and show up in the oddest places!!

Ha, did you catch my Christmas WW when I found a Barbie head in my Christmas tree? Yep, they too, are everywhere!! lol

My kids do the same thing with the hair ties on knobs. LOL It is so cute to find. Love the barbie!!

Your house still looks much neater than mine. Love the pretty pictures. At my house we can never find elasticity BC they are always in the Barbie dolls hair.

Reply

Tammi January 24, 2012 at 7:34 pm

my girls rarely put ties in Barbie hair….well, maybe give the twins a couple years, they haven’t mastered the ‘putting in’ yet!
…and I may have taken the pics on a ‘good day’. ha!

You can tell you have girls, because you would never see some of those things at my house! Great shots.

all boys I take it? Well, replace my doll heads with dinkie cars – and I bet you are in the same house!

OMG My daughter does that, too! Sometimes she wraps hair ties so many times I can’t get them off.

um… where are the crumbs on the floor? I can never seem to keep the floors clear of crumbs! lol

These pics are awesome, Tammi! I really like the feel of them. VERY nice!

Tammi January 25, 2012 at 7:39 am

well… I may have vacuumed just before the photos. Quick, take a pic, it only lasts 5 minutes!!!

Is that a star marker (the kind with different tips on each of the five points) in the background. The little kid inside misses them. Oooo, those and the pens that had different colors in one. They’re the best for kids that can’t just pick one color!

Great pics!

When I see Barbie sitting in the crayon box, all I can think about is Toy Story! Poor toys being ruled by a crazy bear! Great shots.

There’s evidence all around my house too, i think the only downside to it is stepping on my sons toys, ouch! Lol.

Love the Barbie in the crayon box. This is how my daughter likes to clean, by shoving toys in buckets and bins they don’t belong in. I’m sure I’ll miss finding those surpises some day!
