The Life and Times of a Farmer's Daughter - Part Two


Everyone has creepy baby photos, right?   I find the "I Love You" blocks add an additional level of creepiness. 


Also, I am not a redhead.  It's just weird.  These were probably the first awkward photos of me, but be assured that they were not the last.

Apparently, I have always taken interesting photos.


See if you can spot the theme in these next few...

Neenie's Toy Ottomon

The Always Popular Fry Daddy box


With Seth, my cousin, in a random crate.

Can you see the theme?  I think that my whole family thought, "Hey, Karen is small.  Let's shove her in a box!"  
I have only posted a small sampling of the "Karen Shoved in Something" photos.  

Apparently, I became a source of entertainment for my family at a young age.

Perched Upon a Jagged Boulder...Yay?
Nice picture, right?  Notice the puffy eyes.  And yet, an adorable smile.  Don't let it fool you.  I was miserable.  Mom tells me that I cried the whole way to have this picture taken.  I continued to cry once plopped upon that rock.  I can't imagine why I would be miserable.  Dragged into the middle of nowhere to be placed unceremoniously on a jagged boulder under glaring sunlight in clothes that only a deranged 1950's logger would put upon her child.   No reason to be miserable.  None at all.

Why do I have an adorable grin on my face?  Apparently I am susceptible to bribes.  
All Mom had to do to induce me to break into smiles was dangle a bag of M&M's from her hand.  What can I say?  It was chocolate.
