dump trucks and ruffles.

I happened upon this little scene the other day and for some reason, it just made me smile.


Such a juxtaposition.
The boys' dump truck with my ruffle curtains.
Living harmoniously together.
Just like me and my boys.
I love it.


Always grooming her chimps.

Golly I fuss over their hair all the time. Why??? Do you do that to your sons? I should probably stop, LOL.


So happy together, we are. My mini Valentines.


On a side note: Finn and Calvin like to hook their light sabers into the side of their pants for safe keeping.
It's hard for a Jedi to look tough against white ruffle curtains, but they do their best to overcome these cumbersome obstacles. I figure, one day their future wives will thank me for breaking them in.

email me! i love you more than broccoli.

    It's good for boys to be exposed to a little ruffle. Then they won't complain to their wife someday. :)

    I don't know why this made me tear up and smile and laugh to myself, just the idea of a gorgeous mom-with her little chimps and their light sabors. I love it.

    I love that you have your 4 beautiful boys! They bring joy to my heart.

    **love your head band girl. <3

    My mother in law fussed over my husbands appearance and I am very grateful because he lets me do the same to him. And now I am breaking in my boys . They need lots of help/Q-tips/nail trimmers/hair gel/soap to make them presentable.

    Alyssa! I got the curtains at Urban Outfitters. They are not so great quality for the price, but I still like them:)
