Chaos Is A Friend of Mine

Fancy Nancy

Travis's birthday was Sunday. Cash was insistent that he was going to get Daddy some "fancy clothes" for his birthday. He wanted to get him a fancy shirt, fancy tie and fancy vest (meaning sweater vest) and he could not be talked out of it. You should know that Travis doesn't have to wear a tie to work - ever.

So I took the boys to Dillards, one of the few stores with a Big and Tall department, and Cash picked out a shirt and tie with just a bit of guidance from Mommy. Luckily, he forgot about the sweater vest. Travis is a good sport but that would have been pushing it. Travis is SUCH a good sport that he wore the shirt and tie to work the very next day!

 

The boys also decorated Travis's birthday cake all by themselves. He turned 35 but they found that 30 candle in a drawer and wanted to use it.

 

 

Happy Birthday Travis!

Summer Photo Shoot Outtakes

As promised, here are the outtakes from the boys summer photo shoot:

 

 

 

Lucky Grandma

My mom's birthday is Thursday so I asked the boys what we should get Grandma for her birthday.

Cash: I think we should get her a sword!

Me: What would Grandma do with a sword?

West: Fight bad guys?

Me: I don't think Grandma fights bad guys.

Cash: How about a soccer set?

Me: Does Grandma play soccer?

Cash: Well, she would if she had a soccer set!

Grandma sure is lucky to have such thoughtful grandsons.

Baby Narcoleptic

I was worried that the boys would wear me out this summer so I planned A LOT of fun activities. So far we've gone to at least one, sometimes two or three places a day. I think I'm wearing THEM out.

West woke up from a 2 1/2 hour afternoon nap, went in Cash's room and crouched on the floor to get a toy from under the train table. Two minutes later he had fallen asleep!

Silly Mommy

I took the boys with me to the chiropractor this morning. They were curious why I needed to go and I told them I slept on my neck wrong and it hurt. They said that when we got there, they would show me the proper way to lay down so I wouldn't hurt myself again. They spent the rest of the car ride demonstrating and discussing various sleeping positions. Thanks boys.

Brother Bunny

So West wouldn't sit on the mall Easter bunny's lap (yesterday's photo) but he'd sit on this creepy bunny's lap.

Happy Easter

Short Take

As Travis passed West carrying the toy cash register, Travis commented, "Got the cash register West?"

"No," West replied. "It's a West register."

How's My Makeup?

Lining your lips just outside of the natural outline will make them appear fuller.

Knock, Knock

West loves to tell knock knock jokes. He doesn't really get the JOKE part of it though. Here's one he told me last night:

Knock knock
Who's there?
Mommy tiger
Mommy tiger who?
Mommy tiger eats pillows

Then he laughs hysterically, like it's the funniest thing he's ever heard. I can tell that you are laughing hysterically too.
