Who knew pipe cleaners could be so fun and humiliating? I did.
I decided to introduce a nice “quiet time” activity with Chloe…pipe cleaners! I dazzled her with my ornate butterflies, made miniatures of our family, even this lovely bouquet of flowers! (she jacked them up, they looked much better before her grubby little paws ruined my masterpiece).
Lo and behold….her favorite thing I wielded was a nifty little fork and spoon. She pretended to eat everything in our house from the pillows to her books. She makes the most hilarious chomping noise with each bite. Already pretending….love it!
For the piece de resistance. I molded some amazing glasses for Chloe. She let them touch her face for .0000008 seconds. Poor sport.
Who can I get to wear them, who can I get to wear them…think, think, think.
I see a little boy with no muscle tone or eye hand coordination. He can’t push the glasses off his face. In fact, he will probably sit there and be the perfect little model of goofiness! Oh Bennett….mommy needs you.
YES…hold it, hold it….
Mommy is not crying because she is sad…mommy is crying because she is laughing so hard.
Don’t be embarrassed, the ladies love the specs…mommy wouldn’t lie to you or humiliate you.
Now what other suckers do I know. Oh yeah, my husband. You only have to ask Ryan twice to do anything and he folds like a deck of cards.
Oh Ryan….it would be so funny if you put these “adult” size glasses on for me and let me take a picture and put it on my blog. I think you can totally pull them off.
Whoa…dial down the creepy.
Better, but you look like you are passing gas.
Now that is what I’m talking about. Straight sexy.
Hope you enjoyed my two men. The slight blur on each shot is due to me laughing like a hyena while taking the pictures. Happy Monday!!!
Please stop by the Kellan Blog where I pay homage to my “true love”….my shoes!
here is a teaser…..
Looks like fun! A sense of humor goes a long way when you are a parent. Your husband is a card.
Oh my god, Bennett’s first picture is freaking fantastic! I love it!
And your “Better, but you look like you are passing gas.” comment to Ryan’s face made me laugh out loud.
Great pictures Kelly. Ever think about starting a second business in designing pipe cleaner art for wall hangings, table decorations and accessories?
this cracks me up!
That first picture of your babe made my night! Too funny!
What a happy happy Monday post. Lovin’ it on Sunday night. That will get me through…
Your boys are so cute in those “glasses.” When I was a kid I would wear Mr. Potato Head frames so I could look like my Dad who wore glasses.
That was so damn funny that I made my husband look too! He LOL’d with me too! Dear god I love your blog!!!!
So fun!
I love the pretending children do. Jaia does it 24/7 with little breaks here and there! So fun!
I love Bennett’s hair!
Hilarious!! Lydia thinks he is the cutest thing in the whole world!
that first one of bennett is the best! it’s like he put on his nerdiest face he’s been practicing just for the picture. looking good, ry. and…question…is your kitchen green or yellow? it looks like an avacado in the background of this picture, but it looks a little like mustard in the last post. just curious. :o)
I’m laughing so hard my stomach hurts!!
Men…. I love how they are soooo accommodating for the love of boobs.
thank you for making me laugh on a Monday morning!
So cute and funny! Your kids are going to have amazing senses of humor - such a blessing in this crazy world!
I can’t wait to do funny stuff to my little one. (He arrived a little early - July 10 - 5.5 pounds and 18.5 inches. I’m so in love!)
Oh man, Bennett really does pull off the glasses quite well. I personally, do love a man with glasses.
Oh thank you, thank you! How did you know I needed this laugh so badly?
You have quite a pipe cleaner talent!
I think the funniest thing about Ryan’s pictures is that the difference between the poses is negligible, but the captions work so well with each.
Bennett is a stud.
Pipe cleaners are so much fun. It looks like you guys had a blast.
L O V E the shoes!!!! I have never been much of a heel wearer, but that pair makes me want to go right out and become one. Where did you get them??
HahahahahAAA.
Ryan cracked me up.
hilarious! totally laughing out loud right now! Pipe cleaners what a great idea! I love when lucy is pretend eating too. it’s my favorite!
Kelly, these pictures are ridiculous! I think that is great and can not wait to meet Bennett. Can you believe I still haven’t see this guy?
Have a great day
I was just catching up in blogland and felt like my head was going to explode, but your writing captivates me. Then the pictures of Ryan totally caught me off guard and I laughed out loud. I also totally loved your anniversary post, so wonderful!
