Think it would work?

My friend, Natalie, sent me this picture a while ago and I think this guy is on to something. It seems like any time I need a break my kids find me and need something. Maybe some camo action would keep them off my trail. ;)

(And just as an update, our enrichment meeting was wonderful last night. But, in the midst of trying to remember everything else I forgot my camera! We had a turn-out of over 50 people and everyone seemed to really enjoy the evening.)

Oh my gosh! It took me a while to figure out what the picture was about, I didn't see him at first. Wow! But to tell you the truth, I don't think it would work--your girls are too persistent than that.

P.S. I'm so glad Enrichment went well! Yay!

Michelle said...

Congrats on the successful Enrichment. I am glad it went well! And I just thought it was a picture of an old couch until you mentioned the camo. Hilarious!

50 sisters! Wow. Good job, Jessi, in french we say "chapeau!" And what a great message you had to share with everyone. I love the cammo couch, where do I sign up to me one of those?

Shana said...

That is so funny. At first I was thinking.. Wait, I don't get it. And then I saw him! I was just thinking this right before I sat down. They always come find me! :)

I didn't see him at first either. Sometimes I want to do the same thing!

Wow, that is some powerful camoflage! I'm like everyone else - so why did Jessi put this couch on her blog?? I also agree with everyone else - it wouldn't take long before the kids would figure it out. Nice idea, though!

PS - Hooray for Enrichment! I'm so glad it went well! That's a genius idea to have your 'holiday' enrichment now, before the holidays descend. Thanks for the book. I have started to make copies for us.

That is hilarious! I wonder if I can dress in brown and paint my face and try to blend in with my couch. I'm totally going to try it.

Whoa..that actually took me a minute to realize there was a guy there! Hahaha... I thought it was just a new style of couch or something.

It would work for a few seconds until one of my boys comes flying, ninja style, just to sit on the couch. I'd end up with a bruise somewhere on my body!

Funny, I was just like everyone else. What??? then OH...I get it.(couch picture)
Horray for sucessful Enrichment nights, I know the relief and joy of it being done yet another time. And that is so true about the lists. I could have had your exact list too but I thought I really should come up with something else.Yes, I am proud to be your relative.

That is awesome. I can't tell you how many times I've sat down, sick and nauseated, begged the kid's for some solo time only to be getting drinks, putting together toys, and separating fighters within a second.
