Jordan you will find the bra on the b**bie aisle. Thats what Brennan would call the bra section at the store when he was three.

When DS was 2, we walked by the lingerie section at Macy's and he yelled out "LOOK MOMMY....BOOOOBIES!!!!!"

 

[CampbellScot]

Wow!! This is fun so far!! I love the pictures!!!

I have been laughing so hard...especially about the French woman at the pool!

Your kids are so gorgeous.

Teenagers are rough...I don't know what I will do if my step daughter turns into a sullen sassy teenager. I'm hoping I'm putting the fear of the Almighty into her NOW...so she'll be too afraid to act ugly as a teenager...



not likely...Guess I'll have to install a dungeon...

The pics of AKL are great. I'm SO excited to stay there in August!!!

Great report so far!! Can't wait to read more!!!

I am glad you are enjoying it. I can only imagine how Sally would have handled the French woman cituation.

If you step daughter turns into a teenager like mine you will definitely not have any eyebrows left. Courtney was not like this a few short years ago. The thing is people who know her would not believe she acts like this to me. I guess thats good that she is still showing her sweetness to others. I guess I am "safe" to take out her frustration on. I am having to learn to pick my battles wisely because I have not been winning many lately. I was such a good parent up until lately. The other day Brennan who is 10 said to me, "Moma I want you to think really hard ok. Can you remember where you went wrong with Courtney."
He said this in the most innocent way you can imagine. He was really trying to help me solve the cituation.

You three are the sunshine in my life...I can count on you guys to start my day off right...even though it is 11am...........

11:00 am ! It MUST be nice.

I love to randomly walk through the bra & panty isles at waly world when my boys are with me, just to watch them blush.

Ok, I need to share a little funny since we're sorta on the subject...................
Last month I joined a gym and started going in the afternoons after the kids got home. My 2 youngest ds always wanted to go with me so they could go to the child care place and play computer games.

Hunter who is 10 and a bigger smart alec than I ever dreamed of being was pestering me about going with...........................

Me........Ok, but if you do I'm not going to wear a bra while I'm jogging on the treadmill!

Hunter.........He paused for about 5 seconds and with perfect comedic timing, clapped his hands together at chest level while bouncing up and down and yelled "clapp, clapp, clapp!"

Dh & I nearly died laughing! He's only 10, so I never expected that from him!

 

[Native NYer]

You have such cute kids! So sorry to hear that Grace got burned.

 

[lori1043]

Hey, I am finally here!!! Lovin' the TR-your kids are gorgeous, even Brennan, but just tell him I think he is handsome!

I can't wait for teenagers. 3 more years till the fun begins.

See ya!-Lori

OMG you must have nearly died laughing. When Courtney was little she was about 10 at the time and she put some rolled up socks in her shirt and was being silly then she unrolled the socks and let them hang and said look now I'm mom (thats what she calls her grandmother).

You have such cute kids! So sorry to hear that Grace got burned.

Thanks . She was probabbly more mad than hurt because the Tylenol helpped and it never blistered.

Thanks for the compliment on the children.

About the teenager thing get ready!! I can be a bumpy ride. Lots of moms have told me their teenage daughters acted like Courtney around the time they turned 15 and that is really go better around 16 or 17. I guess it's like the terrible twos , only its the terrible fifteens.

The feeling is mutual!

Hey Jordan I agree with Winkers you have also been a bright spot in my days too.

 

[lori1043]

I didn't find the 2's so bad, but then we were battling cancer, depression and we were downright TIRED-a little 2 year old antics didn't bug us much!!!!

Maybe that is cancer parent humor-it was meant light and facetious like!!

I am so glad you got through that battle. I bet you look at lots of things differently than I do because of it. You probabbly slow down and enjoy the little moments more. Every day is a gift from God.

I know, right? I laughed but left quickly.

I have much to learn!

I wanted to post a picture of Courtney's bag that Ariel autographed so you could see what I was talking about. It really was a good idea she had to get it autographed and remember we only paid $6.95 for the bag.

The next picture is of the bag I made for me to carry all Grace's stuff in. It is a Reeboc bag from Target. I got the image on the bag from the disign gallery on disboards. The person who designed personalized it for me and emailed it to me. I printed it out on laser inkjet transfer paper for dark colors. I got LOTS of compliments on my bag on vacation. Some people wanted to touch the bag to feel the design. Everyone who commented wanted to know where I got it.

Hi Couteau.

I have been lurking, so I thought I come and Say Hello

I have two reports I am subcribed to that are about to end, so I thought it is time to pick up another

These things are so addictive

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Those bags are CUTE!!!

I just got back from Walmart and unfortunately I didn't see any of the bags you were looking for. I did see a few small tinkerbell purses but they were not in good shape anyway. They had clearance stickers on them for $7.00. They looked like they were really cute at one time! Oh well, I'm sorry.

I did find this, though!! We ran across this on a row end cap when we were leaving. They had the one like this, and they had a lavendar one with princesses on it. ($24.95) Not that you can lug this around the park. Just thought it was cute. DS is already sitting on it right now playing a vsmile game. He has big plans for which toys to put inside.
