Still cracking up that e brought me home some flowers. They were ‘Get well soon, or you are going to the doctor flowers’ according to him.

Our exciting news of the day… of the week… of the year?!! We found a litter of lab puppies locally. I talked to the owner for a while last night and we get pick of the litter. Right now from photos we’re wavering between a darker yellow BIG boy of the litter or a smaller while female. Guess we’ll see how the personalities are when we get to meet them. Until then we’re working on a list of dog names so we can all find one to agree on. I’m not above buying my votes.

Just saying…

They were beyond happy to find some SkyLander Characters they’ve been hunting.

We then headed on down to Gulf Shores for a quick beach visit.

That night we had super yummy homemade pizza.

Tommy even helped make kettle corn on the stovetop. Mmmmmmmm.

I was asked in Texas more than once if I was the nanny. I even had someone ask me (while the baby was NURSING) whose baby it was.

Yeh. It get frustrating at times. The kids and I are used to the questions.

Yes, I really am their mother.
Yes, their BIOLOGICAL mother, thank you.
Amazingly, since none of their coloring came from me we’re going to go with Dad’s genes came into play. Thank you, brainiacs, for asking.

I remember laughing at three year old TJ sighing and rolling his eyes when someone asked him where his blond hair came from. “My daddy.” You could almost here the mental “duh” he tagged on there.

*I did make the mailman blush once when he asked the oh-so-typical question: “These are YOUR children? Where did their coloring come from!”

For once I didn’t miss a beat and quipped: “Well, we used to say the mailman, but I’ll be damned, you have RED hair!”

I digress.

Anyways, sometimes when I see a pic like this… I see my kids do look like me. Kinda. A little?!

It makes me smile.
