Monday

Happy Monday! Thanks for all the sweet comments on Friday. We’re pretty excited – and a little overwhelmed! – at the thought of a 3rd.  There’s lots of things you don’t think about in becoming a family of 5, like the need for a new car, how you put 3 kids to bed at the same time, how you make 3 kids fit into 2 bedrooms, and, as Granddaddy pointed out, how much harder it’s going to be to get a table at a restaurant from here on out!  🙂  All things I think we can manage just fine.  Well, the room thing might cause a bit of an issue…Maxwell doesn’t yet know that he’ll eventually be sharing a room with Spencer and I see no need to tell him until absolutely necessary!  I know they’ll end up loving it.

One thing I’m sure of, it’s going to be next to impossible to get all THREE smiling at the camera for a picture. It took me 2 days to get the pictures I put up on Friday of the boys in their “BIG Brother” tshirts.  Enjoy some outtakes…

Spencer was the most difficult model. Trying to get him to sit where you want him to sit and actually smile is just not going to happen at this age.

All the outtakes weren’t totally terrible…but that doesn’t mean they were exactly right either.

They are such sweet boys.

Of course, I also know that they’ll get to an age where they will happily smile for a picture…with a bribe of course!  🙂  When they all reach that age, I’ll end up with gems like these…

Also, we told Maxwell this weekend about the new baby. His immediate reaction?  “Noooo, I don’t want a new baby!!” followed by a few (fake) tears.  He came around pretty quickly though and decided a new baby could be alright as long as it’s another “bruver” and not a sister!  ha!  He also thinks we should name it Jelly! And, no, we’re not going to find out what it is…I think!  Surprise!

See you tomorrow!
