I'm so not a girly-girl mom...

... well, in most ways that's true. Take for instance hair bows... each of the girls have probably worn a bow in their hair maybe 2-3 times, TOTAL. I really do wish I was that mom that can do cute hair styles or always has cute bracelets or jewelry for the girls, but to be quite honest I can get so consumed and overwhelmed with just making sure they are dressed with clean underwear/diaper that I completely forget that they need to be GIRLS and have cute hair and stuff.

This morning I decided I needed to have my girls at least resemble GIRLS... hot pink nail polish coming right up!





It actually was the funniest thing to tell Brooke that I was going to paint her toenails. She ran to the office and pulled out Sam's paint set and said 'here mama, here your paint'. I laughed so hard... it really was quite cute. I took the girls to my bathroom and sat them on the counter and painted Sam's toes first so Brooke could see what it would look like. By the time it was Brooke's turn she was so excited. Once I finished her toes I set her on the floor and she started to get very upset and rubbing her toes on the rug (don't worry... they were dry) and then she starting crying. Apparently her toes were cute to her while she was sitting, but once she walked around and saw that the paint was stuck to her toes it really freaked her out. I left the paint on - she will get over it - but it's hilarious watching her walk funny and staring at her toes.

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...
