Why, she plays dress up with her 3 boys of course!
Especially when she finds some old man-ish retro bowling shirts and wool plaid trousers(by Knuckleheads, old fall line).
And then she proceeds to drag them all downtown to an old brick building for pictures.
We got there late afternoon, but the sun was still too strong for poor Gege's eyes.
Actually the sun was too much for everyone, and so I failed, yet again, to capture that elusive shot with all 3 boys together. These were the only few I managed to get, and they were not that great.
The sun pains my eyes looking at this shot.

I don't know why I thought I would be able to get a decent shot of all 3 boys together, at this stage of my pregnancy, where I can barely get up and down...but a girl can dream, right? Even if I could move like a gazelle(which I most certainly cannot), I would still not be able to outrun Ollie. He cannot stand still longer than 1 second.
Finn tried to set up Ollie's bowling pins for him,
but that little stinker just took the ball and ran for his life. He bawled his eyes out if anyone came near his beloved wooden ball.
Finn and Calvin doing bumps.
They love each other. They are always together, rolling around like puppy dogs.

Finn looking particularly somber. He really was quite chipper that day!
And finally, the sun started to settle down.
Next step? Getting a few photos developed for my funky old window frame. Friday I had it dismantled into 3 pieces, so now I have 3 frames. I will show you later.
So yay, another project almost done before baby comes!
Your boys are so adorable! I like all the shots....major sun or not! :)

ReplyDeleteP.S. There is an antique store here that sells TONS of those old windows and i wanted to turn it into a frame like you did. I was just curious on the steps you took to make it hang-able. Did you change out the glass? Did you back the pictures?? I REALLY want to put one up in our house.

ReplyDeleteI'm dying over the clothes! OMIGOSH DAVI. you are too much. seriously. I love you.
ReplyDeletewhy haven't we done second trimester pictures??? I think you're already in your third! QUick we need to do more!=)
Hi! So..I totally have been reading your blog since october, I think.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to finally comment..lol..I think I found you through Talia a long time ago, I adore her!
I think your boys are the cutest in their little old man stuff :)
i love dressing up my boys! i love those clothes were did you get them??
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your super sweet comments. Really, you are too kind!
ReplyDeleteJ-Ollie's ball did not get dinged up too bad!
Kiley-you are too funny. I think I love you just how your are:)
SeeSherm-I usually screw a "tooth bracket" into the frame and just hang it on the wall with a nail. I usually tape the photo on back. Once we tried to lock in the photo with a staple gun and the glass shattered! Glass people charge a lot for glass. In the future, I would probably have glass cut at home depot and then glue it in with silicon myself.
Talia! So fun to be your necklace twin. John got it for me for Christmas(of course I helped find it, bid on it and buy it!)
Tristan! Hello and welcome. Any friend of Talia is a friend of mine:)
Cheatwoods-I got the knucklehead clothes online and on ebay(They were from an old line, so most of them were clearanced or sold out...)
Adorable, as always!!
ReplyDeleteYour new layout is ADORABLE! GOOD JOB! :)
ReplyDeletei ADORE your boys outfits!!!!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I think your boys couldn't possibly get ANY cuter...they do!!! How is it even possible?! You're such a cute little mommy...I just love reading about all of your adventures with your 3 boys!
