Now that I have thanked the 3 of you, let me now say how disappointed I am that you know us so little. Here are the results:
Responsible for putting a pink head band on Romney:
Jim - 6 votes, Laine 4 votes, Romney 4 votes, Tomten 0 votes.
I can't believe you all think this is ME! Are you crazy? I'm doing everything I can to teach him the ways of trucks and trains but no matter what, he still loves wearing princess shoes. I'm not sure who was responsible for the headband...but really either Lainey or Romney could win that one. I just assumed it was Laine. Romney is like this great, living, breathing doll to Lainey.
Responsible for restraining the kids in a boot:
A grandpa - 4 votes, Marie - 4 votes, Tomten - 3 votes, Jim - 2 votes.
Okay - the grand dads were thrown in there just to throw you off. Really, if they had been in the area they probably would have done it and then something else like hanging them upside down on the swing or something. But Marie? How on earth did Marie get the same number of votes as Papa and/or Kingfish? Are you people crazy? Have you met Marie? She is really a very nice, sweet mother. Plus she couldn't even walk with the boot off so how the heck was she going to catch them and tie them up? And the tomtens.......we blame everything in our house on the tomtens. They make messes, steal toys, eat furniture, you name it. About once every other day
or so Laine says, "Dad, are the tomtens real or are you just teasing me?" I used to say they were real but then I decided to take this approach,"yes Laine. I'm teasing you."
"Are you teasing me now, or teasing me that they are real."
"yes, I'm teasing you that they are real."
"dad, I think they are real why are you teasing me?"
"huh?"
"stop teasing me!"
"huh? I'm not teasing you."
"why are you teasing me?"
At this point we are usually both so confused that we both give up sure that we are being duped one way or another. That girl really does not like to be teased. Beware.
In the end - I tied up the kids. Who could blame me? All that velcro and just the right sized cylinder of that boot? I couldn't resist.

oh jim, you are so misunderstood, i guess! i love that you addressed the whole post to the "three readers!"
and what's up with the random pictures? i mean they are soooo cute, don't get me wrong...they just have NOTHING to do with what you said...(except for the fact that they are your kids!)
The (seemingly) random pictures are actually full of subliminal messages. Picture number one - cute kids innocently licking the bowl clean? OR is it REALLY a couple of kids trying to look innocent because they don't want you to see the pink headband hiding in the chocolate frosting?
Picture number two - Just a little fun with some antlers in the back room of a random nature lodge OR is it REALLY photographic proof that Marie may not be just a nice, sweet, wonderful mommy...but also a TEASE! (i.e. not jim's fault all the time, just usually)
OR...did I just know there was a rule in our house about no boring blogs with no pictures so I just needed to find some way to emotionally connect with the three people reading the blog...even if they are only looking at the pictures because who really wants to read what I have to write anyway?
A mystery. No one will ever know for sure
I stand by my vote and my reasons. Jim is always to blame....always.
I disagree. It is obvious that Jim is pushing his cross-dressing, go to Girls' gym lifestyle on his son, and that Marie may be sweet and loving... when we can see her. I think the foot was never broken at all. It just gave her an excuse to carry two clubs at all times and a restraining device for the kids.
Diabolical.
I would also like to point out that Romney is wearing PINK boots in the "Adios, Cowboys" picture at the bottom of the blog.
^^^^
And whom is riding with Romney in that picture?....yeah busted.
I will claim full responsibility for the pink cowboy boots. they used to be lainey's and we hadn't gotten romney his own yet AND we couldn't find his regular tennis shoes! it was the only good option. oh, and I don't care. pink headband, pink boots, dress-up shoes...what's the big deal? he's TWO. I have no remorse.
Jim that is hillarious! I love that, she is so smart it just goes over our heads.
