Hide & Seek
Ahhh – holiday pics! We’re totally overdue to share a ton of Burger & Clara shots from over Christmas, we just took 45,890 and have to sort through them. Hopefully we’ll get ‘er done by tomorrow. In the meantime, let’s go back in time. While digging through some old pictures this week (to find some old high-res photos to send to our publisher for our book’s introduction) I came across these, which we must have saved for some odd reason. They’re from 2009 when we were painting the ceiling of our old sunroom. I believe the conversation around these snapshots went something like this:
SHERRY: I need to take a picture of our progress. Can you duck out of the way?
JOHN: Sure thing.

SHERRY: I can still see you. You probably just need to leave the room entirely.
JOHN: No wait, is this better?

SHERRY: No, I can see your whole body. You just need to get totally out of the way.
JOHN: Wait wait! I know what’ll do the trick. Just angle the camera up a little bit.

SHERRY: Incoherent giggling.
JOHN: I can’t understand you.
I don’t know if we ever got the in-progress shot, but we did eventually finish painting the sunroom ceiling. And I must have managed to leave the room for the after shots.

We’re so weird.

Wow, I actually laughed out loud at this post. Sherry, I’m jealous that you have a husband who not only LETS you take photos of him, but hams it up for the camera!

UGhhh How could Burger tell I am not a dog person ;)
LOL! Technically the dirty look was for us (I think he is generally embarrassed by us) but he must’ve sensed something about you too.

I just peed myself a little laughing so much…
Can’t wait to see the Christmas pics and more of the Kitchen obvs.. that hard work has really been paying off congrats guys!!
Happy New Year!! xx

Hmmm I know you guys use low fume paint, so that can’t be the reason… love to see that you’re just a pair of dags as well as DIY superheroes (that’s an Australian term of endearment – really!)
Seriously this post made my night!
These simply will not do. I demand to see current photos. :P
Bahahaha, that is so something my bf would do. Boys. *rolls eyes* :)
I just snort laughed about that one.
I love what you guys did with this room! Wish I could do that!!
I have such a sinus migraine and am so tired and so rundown… but that totally made me laugh out loud! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the great morning giggle and for just a moment, making the pain in my head subside.
Showing my YHL fan card a little too much here but when I saw these pictures I immediately laughed and thought, “Now that’s something a Lars Petersik would do…”. A+ for the hiding effort! haha
Hahaha- niiiice.
