Gifts from family, or boys will be boys
Note—I’ve got LOTS of posts this week, so scroll down… there may be more than one that is new to you! Cheers, Sarah. Now, on to this entry:
So, how many tries does it take to get one half-way decent photo of the kids in the gift shirts from relatives in your family? In our house, the answer is waaaaaayyyy too many. Aunt Joyce and Mom (aka Nana) both sent the boys shirts from California. First, the cool dude shirts by Quiksilver (a surf / skateboard company the boys love, and which has really nice, soft cloth in their clothes…so soft that even hubby the staid was interested in a sweatshirt!):

Sigh. Boys. It’s that defective Y chromosome. Somewhere along the way, the “X” chromosome lost a leg, it became a “Y”, and all the good, sensible reasonable stuff fell off with the missing leg. Hey….that theory works for me and I’m sticking to it. I married a human with one (of the Y’s). I gave birth to two. I love them all. But they are …well….. carriers of the Y chromosome. I need say no more (grin!).
