True conversation:
Me "J don't you have any soccer stuff to wash?"
Jared "Uh...yeah, I guess...I was just going to throw it back in my bag"
Me "You were just going to wear them again tomorrow?"
J "Uh...yeah"
Me "Even your sliding shorts?!? Jared! That's like wearing your underwear two days in a row!"
J "Yeah..." (as in "yes, and your point?")
Colin "That's my boy"
Me "Please go throw those in the wash right now"...

Boys are so gross...

Some questions/comments to clarify from yesterdays postapalooza...

(btw...totally not out of line)
The boys do fix their breakfast just about every morning...
(Unless I'm making something for everyone...ie the oatmeal)
we have a million boxes of cold cereal they pour and deal with,
yogurt,
bagels
granola bars...
I'm all about it....trust me.

I don't fix them breakfast...
it was more a post about what I'd like...
to fix them something warm and homemade before school...
versus the reality of the mad-dash that is our mornings.
They don't/won't get bacon.
(Unless it's Sunday)
If that makes sense...?!?

onScraps:

I did stitch that title
for fun...I just wanted to try it.
I liked it.
I might try it again...
What I'd really like is to learn to use a sewing machine
so I can sew on layouts...
but I failed at that...
majorly...

Where am I posting my layouts now?
I will probably go back and post them on 2peas...
but you are right...it's not the same.
Scrap In Style...is another option?
I don't know.
Where do people post their layouts now?

and the chocolate fountain will of course have it's own layout...
was there any doubt?!?

I wish we had slower mornings, but that's not a reality with our family either. None of us are morning people (except Cami -- but that's on weekends when she is allowed to watch TV, so she gets up before everyone else and flips between Disney and Nick Jr). The girls usually do toaster strudels (for Cass) and those sausage/pancakes on a stick (for Cami).

I still post my layouts to 2Peas....and Scrap in Style is a good option. I have a gallery there -- though it is very out-of-date. I just do an album on my blog too, and I have an album on Facebook.

i wholeheartedly agree. the peas is NOT the same. i've posted a few pages lately-ish...no praise. i know one shouldn't post for praise, but come-on. we all like to have comments, right? i tried Scrap in Style - but it got weird for me. i want the old peas back.

and you CAN sew on layouts. i have faith. just take some cardstock and practice. straight lines. zig-zags. practice! don't be scared....OR, come here and i'll give you lessons ;)

ah-ha! gotcha! if you start cook breakfasts like that every morning, i'm moving in! ;)

i started to post on 2Peas and ScrapInStyle again, but both are dead to me. i have my scans in my computer files but for some reason, it feels good "putting them out there". i think i'll keep doing it for now and sharing on my blog.

I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one with boys who don't get the whole idea of wearing clean clothes.

i post at peas when i remember, but to be honest, scrap in style sorta freaks me out.
