Just the three of us

I figured it was about time to blog about my two main men. No, I'm not talking about Jack and Jim. I'm talking about Gunner James and Colt Daniel Le. My two main reasons for living. (I know, I know. Stop right there. This is about as mushy as I get.) 

Gunner.

He started his second year of pre-school last month. Who knows how he grew three inches in a year, but he did. Which meant he needed new clothes as the weather has dropped to 30 degrees in the AM. And guess what. When I was at Target the other day? I bought Gunner some new jeans. 

SKINNY jeans. 

Why is this blogworthy? Because guys. I don't even own a pair of skinny jeans. I have hated against skinny jeans for as long as they have been in existence. ESPECIALLY for males. Judge me as you wish, but the whole skinny jean/mohawk/black nails/emo look rubbed me the wrong way. 

Except. 

My kid has had a mohawk for three years. He has painted his nails black (and pink!) for the past two. So I guess it was just a matter of time before I befitted on him the skinny jean. 

And?

I like it. What's that? FINE. I like it.

It totally helps that he looks like a stud whilst sporting said skinny jeans.

And then we have the Coltster. Did you know he has just started talking in sentences? And one of his most clear, precise sentences is "Mom! He hit me!" But of course.

We busted out the Halloween decorations last night. And by that, I mean the one ugly scary witch that Colt has taken a liking to.

This is the face of a little boy who has tasted his first chocolate covered ice cream cone:


Needless to say, he liked it.

And this? This is the face of a little boy who has just tasted his first blow pop sucker:


Once again, like.

And this?


Oh, just what the inside of my heart looks like.

Happy Monday friends.


Kees kees.

Amen.

  2. So you have THE best looking, most handsome little boys!!! Everytime I look at them I pray I have babes as good looking as them! ...then I look at my partner and scrutinize every inch of him to make sure he has features that are going to convert well into babies someday ;)

  5. My two year old has 3 pairs of skinny jeans, I myself have none. I will never own a pair for me. But a 2year old in skinnies is way cute.

  22. Why is it that kids can pull of skinnies better than I can? What is that, really? My 19 year old brother even wears them better. Whatever.

    PS. Where did you get that jacket?? I want!

  25. STOP IT!! You tell Gunner to stop looking so cute in those skinny jeans!! I too have turned the other way, I wear skinny jeans myself, but for my son, eek! Now that I've seen them look absofreakinlutely adorable on a little boy similar to my son (Miles too sports a mohawk!!)

    Your boys are charmers! I love them both! You are blessed :)

  26. Ahhhh gunner. The skinny jeans. Dying. He is so freaking adorable! Baby gap model anyone?! And colt -- I just wanna squeeze his cheeks & give him a hug. Your boys are beyond adorable. But duh they came from you. I still wonder what a little raven would look like. Is your oven closed for good?? Haha

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love the skinny jeans on your boy! At least they aren't jeggings. I would draw the line at that point. But the popped collar and necklace??? That's crazier than skinny jeans, no? =) Oh my gosh, I will die if I ever have a boy and have to dress him.

  30. I love when you do updates/posts about the boys! This post seriously melted my heart! It must be "mushy mom" day because I just scheduled a post for tomorrow of sleeping baby Olivia pics! Why do they have to grow up so fast?!!

  31. So sweet ;) I love the skinny jeans, the mohawk and even the black painted fingernails. I accidently sent my little guy to Mother's Day Out School last week with a burgundy painted fingernail....and maybe a couple of toenails....he loves to have his fingers and toes painted when I do mine...but I usually take the polish off!

  32. They are perfect! Just like YOU!
