Kell's Belles: Funny (Four Ways)

Funny (Four Ways)

The following pictures represent the best taken this week. Why are they the best? Because the individuals in them cracked me up at the time they were taken. And heaven knows I need to laugh long and often. I don't know how hilarious these will be for you. You may even find them kind of sad (especially the quality on some--yikes! I need to hire a professional photographer for this blog). Perhaps running on just three hours of sleep is essential in order to find these at all amusing. So in addition to the pictures, I included a little explanation explaining why the picture is (supposedly) funny. Here it goes:

Who: Chloe

Why: Carter said that Chloe could go to Walmart with him if she got dressed quickly. In addition to slapping on some clothes, she took out the braids from the day before. When she saw the effect, she said, "I can't go anywhere like this!" Such a girl thing to say. But, I'm pleased to say that in the end she didn't let a bad hair day hold her back from shopping. That's my girl!

Who: Piper

Why: What three-year-old sits like this?

Who: Sadie

Why: My mom bought her a duck towel that she loves. It's funny to me because her head is so huge that the hood doesn't fit. It stands about six inches up off her head. But she doesn't care at all. She kind of reminds me of the brother in So I Married An Axe Murderer. HEAD! But it's okay because big heads hold big brains.

Who: Tessa

Why: There's just something about the bow-legged, cross-eyed cuteness that makes me smile.

So, which one of these brings the funny for YOU?

I think Chloe's hair story is my favorite. I love that you have four girls with their own very distinct personalities! Your blog is so fun.

I have to vote for Chloe. She has the best faces. I'm going to go ahead and give Piper props for crossing her legs like a lady and not lifting up her dress.

My vote is for Chloe. Hi-lar-i-ous! She has the same expression I think I would have on a bad hair day. Your girls are all just too dang cute. You need to start a girl band with them, "The Carter Sisters." They could rival the Jonas Brothers.

I thought they were all funny- ha! We have the same stick off the top of the head duck towel! I think it fit until they were about six months... ;)
