Watch That Hand, Mister!

Today, I'm joining Angie over at 7 Clown Circus for Wordful Wednesday. Please pop over when you get a chance and see what the hoopla is all about!

Here's a picture that makes my girls cringe...all the more reason to post it, right? :) It's one that Abby took of Chris and me at one of Brittany's cross country meets. We were getting ready to help with the finish shoots. Well, we didn't realize it until we reviewed the photo that Chris' hand had slipped down a little too far. Oops! Abby and Brittany took one look at it and said, "Oh, that is DISGUSTING!" Chris and I just looked at each other and laughed! Anytime we can get that kind of reaction from our girls is time well spent! Aren't we terrible??? LOL!

Hahahaha...that is just too funny that she captured it on the camera!

I ge that from my kiddos all the time...once Nannie was standing at our locked door yelling..."I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN THERE!!!"

Yeah....well, we now wait until there is either no one in the house or that they are all asleep.

Life with kiddos is so exciting.

Great photo April! Our kids reacted just the same way to any PDA or signs of affection between me and Len. Our kids still roll their eyes and cringe and they are in their 20s now! Len says it's a parent's job to embarrass their teenagers as often as possible!

i always felt if i wasn't embarrassing my kids on a daily basis, especially once they hit their teens - i wasn't doing my job!!!! great photo!!! i think knowing their parents love each other is best gift a child can have whether or not he or she knows it! happy hump day to you!!

That picture is funny! I bet your girls did want to gag. lol

And to answer your question, yes, that picture was taken off of our front porch in the mountains. God made a way for us to have a mountain home that is bigger and nicer than where we actually LIVE. I have no idea what He has planned for our future. Will we live there someday? I don't know. ???

Have a great Wednesday!

Cute! Maybe outwardly they're embarrassed, but I think deep down, kids really love to know - maybe not SEE!!!;) - that their parents do love each other. Your Abbey probably took it for a "gotcha!" moment!!!

Stacey said...

How could you?!

Don't worry..that stage where they are always embarassed passes. Sort of.

Too funny!

Ruby Red Slippers said...

We get that too, when my husband sings "lucky" to me-It is funny to see their reaction! I remember thinking the same thing as a kid-but I remember always feeling secure that my parents loved each other. ...and they are still together-45 years going.

HAHA! Very funny! I would have the same reaction if it were my parents!

Sheila said...

Too funny...I can't wait to embarass my 2 year old like that when he's older...what fun!

The Quintessential Magpie said...

April! LOL! That is a scream! I loved this post. :-)

I have been running so hard and so fast that I missed yesterday online almost altogether. I fell asleep online. LOL!

This was such a great post to make me laugh, and I needed that. Thanks!

XO,

Sheila :-)

Absolutely hilarious, April! Because, you know.. you're PARENTS.. you aren't REAL people, right? Treasure that pic... and someday, your girls will, too!

Barbara Jean said...

Kim's Treasures said...

AWWW that's a sweet photo! You and your hubby are setting an example of how to treat each other and what love is all about! Hopefully, your daughters will find sweet hubbies too!

I miss the days of cross country with our kids!

Have a great day!

Hi April,
I think it's a great picture! Secretly I bet your kids are happy that you two are happily married! They just want to seem so cool. LOL

Robin Beck said...

Being I have kids that are older then yours I can tell you something... They act like they are embarrassed now but when they get older they will tell you how much they love how you guys showed affection to one another.

My kids used to roll their eyes at that kind of stuff and now they tell us they think it's great that their dad and I are so crazy about each other after ALL these years.
I think it's a priceless photo!
It will be one of your daughters most cherished photos someday...I just know it. :)

I think it's a wonderful picture, April. One day your kids will understand.

Live.Love.Eat said...

THAT is great. Married folks need to do that more often. I figure the more we gross our kids out the better job we're doing as hubs and wife.

Rhondi said...

Hi April
I love the picture! Are you in for thankful Thursday tomorrow?
Hugs, Rhondi

Daphine said...

lol! I love it!

Morgan reacts the same way. We're just soooooooo disgusting to her if our kiss is more than just a peck in front of her. Sometimes we do it just to bug her!
