Say it ain't soooooo.
School is starting.
soon.
like real soon.
boo!
This summer has been great! The boys are at a stage now where they can go and do so much more, they play on their own (Hallelujah chorus,) and have such fun personalities!
Swimming
Baseball
the Beach
Family
Sweet dreams to all the kids and teachers starting school tomorrow.
Ready, set, GOOOOOO!
The boys have been growing like weeds.
This past Sunday I went to grab the linen pants that I just bought at Easter.
Pants no more...Capris.
After the sweet cries of my little boys saying that their underwear were tight we went to pick out some 4Ts.
We walked by the girls' underwear first and Brody liked the ones with monkeys, of course.
After explaining that the pack he just picked up was for girls and showed him the boy monkey underwear, I discovered an injustice!
For $9.99 you can get:
a. 7 pairs of girls' panties
b. 5 pairs of boys' underwear
Not sure why the underwear makers of America think little boys go commando 2 days/week.
But, every pack of underwear I have bought the boys only has 5 pairs.
I then checked all the boys' underwear displayed- 5 undies for 9.99; and walked down to the girls' section (where I never go) and saw all these 7 packs!
Weird.
So that's why if you peer over the fence, my little boys are sporting the natural look.
Target said so.
*Note: I went online to get pictures of the underwear we saw...Target sells Boys' 7 pks online. I guess you can get 7 pairs! But only if you pay shipping. Ha!
Not one day goes by that I don't think about her.
Late at night, driving in the car, working out at the gym.
When I get asked "Do you have any more kids?" "Do you guys want to have more kids?"
Yes. We are ACHING to have more kids. 26 months of aching for more kids.
When my boys ask for a baby.
Every day I think about her.
Hope for her.
Dream for her.
Pray for her.
Now it could be him. I would be equally blessed and excited.
I think about him.
Hope for him.
Dream for him.
Pray for him.
Boots or Bows. Not one day goes by without me anxiously anticipating the day.
I just wish it was as easy as planning to have a summer baby and it just happen.
I am staring down a long and winding road.
And I can't see the end.
But I have great hope in the ending.
I know the plans I have for you says the Lord...
to give you a future and a HOPE.
Jeremiah 29:11
This week I have spent my nap/blog time taking care of a sick little boy.
Yesterday, He came bouncing (literally) out of his room.
We broke the fever and the bounce (literally) is back!
(We call him the Energizer Bunny. He never sleeps, always is moving, jumping, and bouncing!)
This morning I woke up to lots of banging on the drums, fights, laughter, and getting hurt all before 9 a.m.
Yup...We are better!
I HATE swimsuits.
Always have.
Always will.
I mean what happened to the swim dress...
I think they look adorable.
No wobbly bits flopping about.
While on my DUTY-FREE trip
(that I totally need to blog about, but nap time never seems long enough....)
Hannah told me about Lime Ricki swimsuits.
Then when Cassie blogged about it, too
(P.S. Cassie-I totally pulled a "copycat." You always have great things to "copy.")
It just was a sign.
So I took the plunge, bought an adorably cute suit-at least on the hanger, and anxiously awaiting to see if it fits the bill!
I learned all I need to know
@ TWIN MAMAS DUTY-FREE TRIP!
Amy taught us the "skinny arm" trick. What?! You haven't heard of
"THE SKINNY ARM?!"
So, your arm loses like 10 dress sizes by putting you hand on your hip and pointing your elbow back.
Ahha, moment-Oprah!
This is why all the girls in the prom photos were sporting the "skinny arm."
Well, if you say skinny-I'm all over it.
So I quickly implemented "the skinny arm" in all my photos of the weekend.
See below for true, certified evidence.
No Skinny Arm.
Just 7 Sweet Beautiful Women that have been blessed with TWINS!
"The Skinny Arm"
See...10 lbs....right.
Still Just 7 incredibly blessed women equally blessed with each others support and friendship.
Hollar, TWIN MAMAS!
Britni, Kristi, Hannah, Amy, me, Liz, Shelley
