Pouty Lip

So both of our parents say that Lance and I were masters at the pouty lip (our talent exceeded the rest of our siblings).

Which I think proved so successful for us in obtaining our every desire,

that we still use it to this day.

So really our kids had no chance.

Consider it a gift, children.

You're welcome.

Mommy’s Day Away

I went to my good friend’s bridal shower a few weeks ago and left the kids with their daddy for a longer stretch then usual. This is what happens when mommy is away. Upon arriving home after my fun afternoon with friends I asked the husband what Gavin had for lunch. He said that he forgot to feed him. I asked how long his nap was. He said he didn’t have one. Luckily the other kid makes more noise if he’s not fed, so Jackson DID have nourishment. We had to run errands so I made a good ol’ PB&J and we all hopped in the car. About 2 minutes down the road I noticed Gavin didn’t answer me so I turned around and saw this…

He is fast asleep clutching his PB&J in both hands with it smeared all over his chubby cheeks. Don't you just want a sticky kiss? Poor guy was so exhausted because he had such a fun, unstructured day with his dad. Don't we all need days like this?

Is it Weird for me to be Strangely Proud?

Gavin was unsupervised in the bathroom for one minute and he came out looking like this.



I'm impressed for 2 reasons:

1. that he knew where to apply the mascara (I don't even know if the hubby does).

2. that his hand/eye coordination is that good (he actually coated every lash without getting it in his eyes).

Well 3 I guess...

3. that he knew to reach for the Definicils for his lashes and not the YSL cils effet like I would have done for myself.

But he obviously doesn't watch me THAT closely or he would have applied at least one coat to the bottom lashes.

When did he learn to unscrew things?

Oh and Honey, you have no reason to be nervous.

Popcorn

Today Gavin & I ran into Target for a couple of things and we were in a big hurry. As we were rushing through he smelled the popcorn and said, "Yummmm, Popcorn". And I said, "When we get home I will make some popcorn". As soon as we got inside the house he ran into the kitchen and grabbed a can of corn. I was positive that he knew the difference, but since I was able to trade an unhealthy snack for a healthy one I didn't want to explain it just then. I will probably offer popcorn to him more often.
