Ok, I have to share something with you that I thought was hilarious! (In my twisted little mind!) But before I do, here is a disclaimer:
THE FOLLOWING IS A JOKE. THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN UNDER COMPLETE ADULT SUPERVISION. THESE CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED/ENCOURAGED TO PLAY WITH DANGEROUS ITEMS. I AM NOT A BAD MOTHER. DO NOT CALL DHS. DO NOT FLAME ME IN THIS THREAD OR QUESTION MY PARENTING ABILITY. IF THE IMAGES 'DISTURB' YOU, FEEL FREE TO CLICK ON THE LITTLE 'X' IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF YOUR SCREEN. ANYONE ELSE WHO APPRECIATES A LITTLE HUMOR, PLEASE READ ON...
So, I knew when I was pregnant with Zach that all I wanted (aside from a healthy baby, obviously) was one that slept better than his brother. Alex was a joy all day long, but would not sleep at night. (We still sometimes have problems with him.) He was 18 months old before he started to sporadically sleep through the night. One of the good things though was that he NEVER, and I mean NEVER spit up. Not even once. He drooled like crazy, but NEVER spit up!! This is just unheard of for a cleft baby especially! So, I made the joke that my second child would probably be a great sleeper, but he'd projectile vomit 24/7. Guess what? You do NOT make those jokes to God. You will find very quickly that He has an amazing sense of humor!! So yes, Zach sleeps fairly well, but he spits up constantly!! I mean, you'll change his clothes because you think he's GOT to be done, then, as you are buttoning the crotch snaps on the new outfit, barf!!
So, I sent an email along with these pictures to my mom, MIL, my sisters, and my hubby. They all about died laughing! Of course, I was cackling like a mad woman while taking the baby's picture, so my three year old decided he had to get in on the action!!
The text that went with the pix was essentially: "Since Zach is such a spit-upper, I have decided it is in my best interest to invest in a completely new wardrobe that is more appropriate for his special needs. Fortunately, I got a great deal! You may be asking yourself "why?" and I'll tell you, it's not quite noon, and we've already been through 7 outfits. Five of which didn't make it more than five minutes, three of them never even made it off the changing table! After seeing his little brother, Alex decided he wanted to match!"
So, without further ado... please enjoy my boys in their new duds!!

Oh Mel! I'm LMAO! I've been there and done that with the projectile vomiting (still doing it in fact with my last). I used to put like triple bibs on my 2nd baby with his projectile vomiting and it still didn't help. I never learned though, I always had extra clothing for him when we went out but always forgot about me. You should have seen the looks I used to get dressed in my "finest"!!!!!
If that is not the funniest thing I have seen in a long while. I'm still laughing and you know what they still look adorable in their Walmart clothes.
Oh Mel ......Only you could have come up with that idea !
That is HILAROUS !!!
I have to say though I was expecting to see you in some ole time slicker like the ones they wear under the falls!( bright yellow with the floppy hat )
So maybe you should make your self one of those fancy outfits to ! ( maybe a garbage bag for mom )
You can put those boys in anything and they are still just the most adorable.Goes to show ya it doesent matter what you wear you can still be cute !
But you didnt say ???Is the new outfit working out ?
I knew you guys would appreciate that!!! You should have heard me laughing the whole time. It was probably almost as funny as the actual act of doing it!! And Alex was gigggling too! You can see, even Zach thought it was funny!
And the best part about this new wardrobe... it's disposable, and it's free with purchase at most stores!
You know xstitcher, I am the same way, I have a diaper bag with no less than six outfits in it any time I leave the house, but I just don't even worry about myself. But you know what... he's never gotten me! *knock on wood* (He will now... I pushed my luck by saying it!) But I was the same way with Alex and he almost never needed it. (Occasional diaper leak, but rare.) I just believe it being prepared! Not to mention... if grandma says, "Why don't the boys spend the night here tonight?" Hahahaha!! Oh, it kills me when they do, but I know it's good for them and for me.
Well Mel if your mom is anything like me she already has a dresser full of their clothes at her house. My DH teases me all the time by saying that they have more clothes at our house than at their own. I say well you never know what they might need and I'm always prepared.

I wish my mom lived close so I could have the same luxury!!! She's always lived 2000 miles away and sees them every year or so only!!!
And yes, it is good for them and you!! What I wouldn't do for a break! It's been 6 years and not a day away from mommy (unless I was in the hospital having another of course ).
xstitcher... I will take them for the night!! You need a break! But let me tell you, leaving them with grandma is good and all, but I bawl on the way home. It's so hard not to go in and get them!! Not that I don't trust her, or any of that, just that the house is SO empty without them. It breaks my heart. I am seriously attached to these kids, but not in an unhealthy way. I am actually able to leave them, I just miss them horribly. And I do enjoy having a few minutes to myself on the rare occasion that it happens. Of course... then hubby starts bugging me. If I get a break from the babies and their needs, then it's all about his! Hehehehe. Hey, when is it about ME?? That's what I wanna know!!
Awww Mel, that's so sweet of you to offer! So when are you going to move closer so I can take you up on your offer !
The only time I've been away from the kids has been when I'm at Michael's for a cake class, but I'm way too busy with my new found love to miss them toooo much!
Hubbies, what are you gonna do with them!
Ah, just stick 'em in a box with a suitcase and a bag of marshmallows, and express mail 'em to me!!
ADORABLE !!! I will say it over an over Zach is your clone !!! And what a happy" cutie pie "big brother he has !
Wow belated congrats just came across this post. Your boys are adorable. I only have girls and often wonder if I had a third would it be a little boy They are tiny for such a short time it's just not fair!
Wow....it doesn't seem like 5 months. I was just thinking the other day that you hadn't posted a picture in quite a while. Thanks for sharing your cuties.
Wow Mel if that isn't the most gorgeous pictures. I love the one where Alex is kissing Zach. They are both growing up too fast and that's the way it always is.
Ooo - I just want to squeez those cheeks! How lucky are you Mel to have 2 gorgeous little boys! Love all the pix but #2 and the last one are my favs. The look so happy with eachother
Thanks for sharing!
So cute!! You could just eat them up!!
You just got me all excited, I will be having my kids' pics taken on Sunday (3 girls 7, 6, & 4, and my 9 mo little boy!!)
Just adorable Mel! What handsome lil guys! I wanna hug & kiss em!!!
What were these "special duds"? when I clicked nothing was there

OH NO... you missed that one?? *snork, giggle, snort* I forgot to repost that page when I republished my site... let me go fix that... you really CANNOT miss out on that one! Hehehehehehe Give me a minute!
Ok, Chass, the page is back! BTW, for posterity I will mention I have since solved the spitting up problem! Can't believe how easy it was!!!
Mel, that is to freakin cute! My hubby tells my middle child, that we bought her on sale at wal-mart all the time, lol.
Hehehehe... well I can really tell Zach that... I have photographic evidence. Of course, I'll tell him he was in the clearance bin and I had to rifle through all kinds of bad movies and ugly shirts to find him! But there he was waiting for me toward the bottom, just smiling away! Hehehe.
