First, if you haven’t been alerted to it already, the prolific pottery painter (say that three times fast), Bethany Actually, is hosting a giveaway at her site. Not just ANY giveaway either, but a giveaway of GUMBALL proportions!

If you are not already familiar with Gumball, this pink “he-kitty” has been all over the world. I personally think since Secret Agent Josephine created Gumball as a PINK kitty, “HE” should be a “SHE”, but apparently Gumball is a feline completely in touch with his feminine side. And? No one asked me.

You know what I have to say about that?

WHATEVER!

Boys? Stop wearing pink. It’s confusing and I’m all about stereotyping. Real men DON’T wear pink…I don’t care WHAT anyone says.

Still, Gumball is now available on a mug. Yep, hand-painted by the pretty, pristine, princess of pottery herself! And? If you don’t win the giveaway? A few dollars will purchase you the Gumball Kit! Seriously, I have my own Gumball in my camera bag. We’ve taken a few of our own Gumball pics over here.

Speaking of real men. Here’s how real men watch girlie movies.

This is how the conversation typically goes.

Me: “Wanna watch a movie tonight?”

Jeff: “Yea, I’ll fall asleep to a movie with you.”

AND HE ISN’T JOKING EITHER. If the movie doesn’t involve someone getting shot or mangled, it is of little interest. Oh wait, he does tend to like slapstick, which in my opinion, is about as entertaining as wiping my bum with single ply toilet paper.

And finally, an update on the room switch.

It is going pretty well I’d say.

Seriously, I don’t know whether to swoon or puke. I think I’ll swoon - it is generally a more acceptable response for mothers. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled this is working out so well, but they are the consistency of syrup right now.

SYRUP I tell ya.

I’m waiting for reality to set in. Y’know, like when Kenny gets out of the shower, jumps on Mer’s bed in all his bare birth splendor and then two seconds later I’ll hear Mer squeal, “MOMMA! Kenny is rubbing his boy parts ALL OVER MY BED!” while he maniacally giggles.

I might be an only child, but I do believe I have enough experience with these two to know that this kind of absolute bliss can’t last forever…though privately I’m hoping it lasts AT LEAST for a few weeks.

So.nice.

   Thanks, OMSH. I’ve never been called a “pretty, pristine princess of pottery” before! I kinda like it!

   That is so cute with the hand holding. My boys only seem to touch each other when they’re trying to tackle one another. They’re like bear cubs I tell you.

   Even if it’s a war movie, Eric will still fall asleep. That man’s bedtime is around 7pm, I’d say.

   Bethany, can we call you PPOP fo’ short?

   That pic of me was ‘Photoshopped.’ The only movie during which I took a snooze was during the intermission of Dr. Zhivago.

   The hand holding. I can’t stand it - it is so stinkin cute. Hoepfully it lasts for you. Sorry to cut it short, but I have to visit Bethany now. I must have a Gumball to call my own.

   “Rubbing his boy parts…” bwahahahaaa!

   My brother and I shared a room and all I remembered wanting to do to him was throttle him. Enjoy the bliss while it lasts!! It won’t be long before Kenny is farting under the covers and holding your daughter’s head under them…

8. Anna

   Aww! Aren’t they cute?!?! Enjoy the syrupy sibling love while it lasts!

   And I am waiting with baited breath to be the winner of the Gumball giveaway, who doesn’t love a pink BOY kitty? LOL.

   I really wanted to leave you a lovely comment about those last two pictures, but unfortunately I have FALLEN OVER DEAD from the cuteness and can not compose myself. That is so ridiculously sweet!

    “Boy parts” on the bed! Yep, that’s sure to happen soon enough, so enjoy the current bliss. And I’m guessing the mister is a Three Stooges fan, yes?

    Off to check out Gumball…

    Jessica, yes. You may call me PPOP for short…especially since I am short. ;-)
