What I’ve learned this week is that in order to really capture Photo Friday moments I have to have my camera at the ready. I also learned I’m a little too willing to sacrifice my children’s feelings in order to capture them as well.

Xander was playing with our lazy Susan cabinet {which he’s been told repeatedly not to do} and he ended up smashing his finger in the cabinet door. He started whimpering and I just shook my head and giggled at him because he’s been told time and time again.   {Man, that sounds mean…but I knew he wasn’t that hurt, I could tell by the whimper. And there was no blood or anything.  I wanted him to learn his lesson: Don’t play with the lazy Susan cabinet!}

Well he got SO MAD at me for giggling at him that he went and hid under the kitchen table and started crying.   All the while I’m thinking: this is a perfect opportunity for an ANGRY photo! I’m so getting Mom of the Year this year. *hangs head in shame*

Of course I didn’t have my camera ready, so I coaxed him out from under the table and apologized for laughing but explained this is why he shouldn’t play with the cabinet. {Did I redeem myself any?}  Then I went to get the camera and captured what was left of his “angry” face.

Ok, your turn…did you sacrifice feelings for a photo opp like I did?  I know this week was hard, but I hope to see some submissions!

You don’t have to link up on Fridays. You’ll get more views the sooner you link up, but you actually have 6 days to link up once I post. The link ups close the night before the next week’s Photo Friday post.
