Abs of steel
Last night the boys and I had our summertime sleep-out-in-a-tent and tell scary stories while eating popcorn and swedish fish extravaganza. It was fun. But like last year, I had a terrible nights sleep. Worth it, though. Definitely worth it. The heat made it hard to fall asleep. It was really hot. Like, Africa hot. The boys all took their shirts off and we all slept without blankets.
I told them some really scary stories. Some I made up, some I retold, but I tried to tell the Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe. I didn’t do it justice, but they seemed freaked out just the same.
This morning, three shirtless boys sauntered into the house to play while they waited for me to make their breakfast. Who knows what they do downstairs when I send them down to play, really. I pretend we don’t even have a downstairs most of the time, because it’s so messy and it overwhelms me to think of cleaning it. But this morning they were wrestling or some other equally loud/destructive activity.
When I called them up to breakfast, I saw this…
They have all drawn “six packs” on their stomachs with a sharpie.
Beck said, “We’re playing tough guys.”
Right, well, that makes perfect sense then.

If only it were that easy!
Beck doesn’t look convinced that he’s tuff
In a writing mood again, I see. What a lovely plethora (I try to use that word once a day) of posts I was welcomed to when I finally got some computer time today. Thank you! It’s always a pick me up to get a dose of your humor and a few shots of your cute boys/dog/jewelry/whatever. You rock.
Too cute!
Well, they do look tough. But Tate also looks like he has to pee.
That is absolutely hilarious!
i’m still giggling from the beards from bike wheels idea, this is hilarious!
A total BOY thing! So great. My boys have decided its much better to sleep in just your boxers. Even though they are 7 and 9 it just feels wrong to me. Here I sit, its like 105 degrees and I’m in my full array of pajamas. Why do boys love to show the gut? Even if they are packing the six pack
