I promise the kids had a bath after this. Maybe they did...
Or at least I let them play in the shower for a while.

Thrown in the towel
I used to think I would be the mom who's kids looked cute all the time. You know the ones, the mom's with the kids dressed in Gap clothes, hair done, clean fingernails, wiped noses etc. For a while I think I was that mom. Then, this summer happened. As the temperatures raised and my belly grew and grew, all my vanity about my kids flew out the window. They get bathed and their teeth brushed, and I still wrestle them to clip finger and toe nails, but that is the extent of the grooming. Naomi's poor hair has hardly been done for months, Boston looks dirty and sweaty all.the.time from wearing his helmet, and I scarcely pull out the wipes to clean their dirty faces. The fact that we are living on a cul de sac that currently has 2 homes under construction doesn't help. Check out these pictures John took a few weeks back.

ha ha, that top middle picture of the two of them is hilarious!
I'm glad you are actually sticking with your goal so far of regularly blogging. If you ever quit again, I might just never forgive you. and neither will this new baby if you don't document its life on your blog.
I agree with Tiff. I am so happy you are back. I've missed your posts! By the way, I wanted to be that Mom whose kids always looked very nice all the time then I had twins boys who yank each others hair and wrestle whenever possible. Also, I love the above post too..and let me just say Boston has wonderful fashion taste :)
You have some brave kids. I am the worst at doing my daughters hair and it drives my husband crazy. Ps. I love your blog.
