Love these Paul! Must say I teared up a bit with the bonus one. So true! And wearing just a hat, imagine going to the mall at our age :)
ReplyDeleteThis was a lot of fun. Going through all my family photos, hard to stop at 10 Oh wait, I didn't.
DeleteGreat pictures, Paul!
ReplyDeleteMy kids can cut their own hair as well...
I think my favourite is No. 6
Of course 6 is your favourite, that's me. Yep, my own bad self at 4
DeleteHahaha! Cutting hairs! So true! My nieces do it all the time. Thank God my 2 girls haven't experimented on scissors and hair combination, yet.
ReplyDeleteEvery kid I know at some point takes the scissors in hand. I have no idea why
DeleteYes, you can cut your own hair but really, should you?
ReplyDeletem.
Wait a minute, I saw that little Glee hawk number you did. That was a DIY, wasn't it?
DeleteI love the way you did this list. And great photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jacqui. I'm pretty sure I didn't take a single one of them.
DeleteThe bonus one is very true! Great list. #4 reminded me of my baby - he really loves his animals, so much more than his sisters ever have.
ReplyDeleteThat's the bonus. Having grown up in farm country, animals always figure prominently.
DeleteWhat a great list, and I must say, #11 got me! In my big extended family, this is so true!
ReplyDeleteThe look on my little cousins faces is priceless every time my mom introduces me as her little boy. LOL The fact I'm 6 inches taller and half again her size just mystifies them.
Deleteoh man i love this list- and the photos just put it over the top fab. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, with my family the only problem I had was stopping LOL
Deletegreat list and great pics! I so wish I could sleep anywhere, anytime!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, sleeping like a baby would be heaven these days.
Deletethank you for not showing any pics of me abusing poor Sam.
ReplyDeleteand surprisingly, I am still that "bendy" :)
I don't actually have those pics, I'm not sure who does. Haven't raided your mom's picture albums.. yet.
DeleteBonus points if you can put a name to all the faces, we're family after all.
And Left Brain is smiling ROFL
I love the pictures, what a great way to do today's listicles!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon, I had a blast.
DeleteWait. Are we not supposed to go places in just a hat anymore? Crap...
ReplyDeleteHello, 21st century, you need sunscreen, maybe a touch of lip gloss. In my case a lot of sunscreen LOL
DeleteIn my journey through reading today's listicles, I have to say this was one of my very favorites! Clever! And the pictures were priceless. LOVED it all. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri, I may be blushing just a little.
DeleteThese are great and the pictures and so much to it!
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun looking through all the pictures I have. Could have gone on and on and on LOL
DeleteLove the ideas, the pics, and the sentiment that runs throughout. Sweet with a capital S!
ReplyDeleteThat's me, just like candy. Sweet.
DeleteThis is great!!! And I'm laughing at the "cut your own hair" one! Great pictures to accompany your list :)
ReplyDeleteCutting your own hair seems like some sort of rite of passage. I remember doing my own twice, Mom yelled both times. Pretty sure both were right before school pics. My aunt cut her bangs to stubble once. If only I had the pictures LOL
DeleteWhat a wonderful list! Especially #11 :) The pictures were so fun to look at :)
ReplyDelete11 is kind of great isn't it. You're always a kid to your mom and dad. Ome thing our family is blessed with, an abundance of children and pictures of us all.
ReplyDeleteHee hee! I love it. Those pictures are priceless, as is #11.
ReplyDeleteIt made it a lot easier having over a hundred years of family pictures to draw from.
DeleteOh man. You killed me with #11.
ReplyDeleteBut it's so true. If you ever want to be a kid again, visit your parents. Sometimes good, some times not so good LOL
DeleteGreat, great pictures! I especially the one about being able to sleep anywhere. Little babies have always impressed me with that. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the benefits of being the un official family historian. I guess we're just not entertaining enough, babies just nod off any where.
DeleteLove the self applied hair cut ;-) These were all good ones. Kids never really get how good they have it with the sleeping thing...
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to figure out where the sleeping thing went so wrong. I'm lucky if I get 5 or 6 hours now.
