Sleeping Beauties

by Heather on March 2, 2010

in Heather, Mike

Every time I sit down to edit some pictures of Annabel, I am treated to a surprise. Not a “OH that shot turned out better than I thought!” surprise. No, these are of the “OMG I can’t believe he took a picture of me like that!” variety.

Mike has been picking up my camera when I’m sleeping. Not to take cute pictures of Annabel – to take embarrassing pictures of me sleeping.

As every parent knows, you just grab sleep when you can. I am always fighting it, because as every new parent also knows, when the baby is down, that’s when you actually get stuff DONE. But that means that my body kind of forces me to take little cat naps when I’m not expecting it.

I was tired.

Rigby isn't certain I am alive.
Rigby is obviously very concerned.

Or sometimes I am really tired, but someone else is NOT.

she won't sleep! but I can.
thanks for stopping him, girls!

I also have a habit of falling asleep when I’m watching TV. My glasses suffer.

forgot to take off my glasses

Mike isn’t much of a napper (I don’t know how he does it) but today! Today I got my revenge!

so many things wrong

Stop taking pictures of me Mike!!

Be Sociable, Share!

Hahahaha! You should have drawn a mustache on him or something! The first pic shows just how tired you must have been – it looks really uncomfortable, but you’re sound asleep anyway. Glad you’re having some fun with each other – even if you’re not both awake at the same time :-)

Those are priceless!!! I LOVE that you posted them!

I love to nap, but can ONLY nap when I am in bed, w earplugs and even then it takes over 30min-60min to fall asleep! So when I have a newborn, it is a nightmare. I can’t get a nap even started before the baby is awake again!

The pictures are hilarious! I can’t wait until that’s how my naps are in a few more weeks…only with a 2 yr old I have a feeling I’ll wake up with marker on my face or crackers in my ears…or worse the baby will be colored and stuffed with crunchy snacks!

Laugh out loud funny.
I have a habit of taking my husband’s picture while he’s sleeping, too. And our children. I have so many pictures of sleeping children.
I wonder what that means.

I love all the Diet Coke cans beside Mike. How can he sleep after all that caffeine?

Seriously, I remember just sleeping any time we could after the baby came home. I remember we chose to take a nap instead of eating on more than one occasion.

Hang in there and hide the camera before you crash. :)

We have a video that my husband took of our daughter and in the background you can hear me snoring. It cracks me up today and I am so glad we have it!

What I *love* in the last pic is not only the SIX Diet Coke cans *and* the bottle behind them, but the fact that he’s posed almost Ed-Bundy-ish with one hand near his pants waistline. I have *the* funniest picture EVAH taken of my husband recently, asleep in the recliner, with one hand holding the remote control, and the other hand tucked in his pants. I now use this as the picture that pops up on my phone when he calls, AND I displayed that sucker on Facebook for the entire world to see. If you happen to add me on FB long enough to take a look, you can see the revenge-goodness for yourself. :)

Enjoy the madness, and perhaps Mike needs some lipstick and blusher next time you catch him napping? :)
