Bubba Booty

Another similarity between my late brother and my son is the enjoyment of nudity.
Bauer has become an expert at undressing himself and we find him in his birthday suit pretty frequently these days.
But nothing gets him to strip faster than putting some music on for him.  Every living room dance party results in a nakey baby.  I have no idea where he gets this from; everyone else remains clothed.  I figure he must be channeling his uncle.

Playtime

Emberly always wants us to throw her around like a rag-doll the way we play with Bauer.  To her, it shouldn't matter than she weighs nearly twice as much as he.

Unneeded HD

I saw a nail-look on Pinterest that I was inspired by.  However, ever picture I took of my hand just looked hideous.  And now I can't stop staring at my hands wondering if they're prematurely aging LOL

Modest Loot

I was excited after the fall ATG consignment sale to participate in the spring.  Until it was announced that it would be 25+ miles away.  I think participating requires at least 3 treks and at the price of gas, 150mi wasn't going to work for me.  In addition to just not having time to go over there with my current workload.
But when my hairstylist generously offered me her extra pre-sale ticket (i told her how easy it was and she did consign this time), I decided that I would go check it out one time.
Well, it took much longer to get up there than I anticipated (more than twice the google maps estimate) and I was somewhat rushed since I planned the trip before picking up the kids.  I ended up with a couple of dollar toys (a wooden pull train and some little monster trucks) and a couple outfits that caught my eye for my best friend's daughter.
I didn't find anything I wanted for Emberly (and I'm much more hesitant to buy for her since discovering she'll be wearing a uniform come fall).  And Bauer was able to wear everything I got him today:

Brothers Beware

Emberly made warning signs for her brother when he's not allowed to come in their room.   Typically because she's playing with a set of toys with small pieces not meant for those under 3yrs.
I bet she imagines this:

But here are the real signs, which I'll credit Bauer, are a bit confusing.  No smiling people?  Well, he's not smiling, he's not happy he can't get into his room!

Mini Man

I had trouble finding mens' fashion particularly exciting and when I was "oohing" and "ahhing" through the baby girls department, I always thought it must be awfully depressing and boring to dress a boy.
What I'm wrong about could fill a book!
Bauer wore his spring green pants on St Patrick's Day.  I could just eat him!

Candy Coated

I remember back in the nineties when I was in elementary school and I had bright and bold jeans and leggings that were dyed-to-match tees and cardigans and jackets.
And yet somehow the bright candy colored denim on trend for spring is refreshing.
