Fly By The Seat Of Your Pants Day

When we woke up this morning the Twerps were BEGGIN to go to the park...and since the park at my new house in my new town in my state in my new time zone is just a stone's throw away, I slipped on some jeans and threw some make-up on as to not scare the small children and off we went.

I say all that so you do not go to judgin when you see me in the pics and say to your computer, "OH LORDY BE! DID COUNTRY GIRL EVEN COMB HER HAIR?"

The answer is NO...but I did brush my teeth. I have standards like that and all.

Anyhoo, the park got old so we got in the car and it lead to the aquarium....I have no idea how this happened. We just ended up there. This is what happens when you are a fly by the seat of your pants family who only washes your hair twice a week and does not even comb it on Saturdays....

Bury the judgement my friends...BURY IT!
And while you are burying...someone tell me what is up with look on my face....OH WAIT...I KNOW. I saw my hair in the mirror. Lord have mercy on my poor sweet husband.This is Eldest Twerp's reaction to her momma going out in public like that. This will be an entire therapy session I am sure. I am a giver like that and all.
Then we walked across the street to this park....
And enjoyed tempting the water...we were able to avoid it's shoots...95% of the time...But that other 5%...Will be the source on this Twerp's therapy session... He got all wet...and it got cold...FAST. Baby Twerp is the only one with a lick of sense around these parts. He stayed where it was safe and sound....and where food was close by. This should come to no surprise.
But as we were walking to the bathroom to find a hand dryer for sweet wet Middle Twerp...we heard music and laughter coming from this tent....
And look what we found....Ice Skating!Baby Twerp kept a safe distance...

Close to the food and all....SURPRISED? I thought not.
Now let me first begin by sayin I am about as coordinated as a 6'7" toddler...chewing gum...that has just been spun around...on stilts.
So to actually put me in ice skates....
With this hair.....
Was about all the mortification my family could endure... But I embrace mortification...
So does she....
But this Twerp....
Well Lordy Be...
He has inherited my athletic ability....



But at the end of the day,
We had one of the best times....And I tried to explain to Middle Twerp that he could not HANG on me or her would bring momma down too...
That lesson was lost.
But I am not one of those momma's that is willing to sacrifice herself...Oh no sir ee bob...I saved myself everytime.I have a flair for the dramatic...
Please don't judge me...
The Twerps just love fly by the seat of your pants days....

I keep catching myself saying, "Well Lordy Be."
Does that frighten you?

And hey, at least you could stand upright on ice skates. I went once. I prefer not to discuss it.

I'm with Marchelle, I think you look far more graceful than I could hope to be. If it were me, the twerps would be hoisting me off my keester, not the other way around.

Your hair looks great even on a non-brushed day. Thanks for brushing your teeth though!

Looks like a fun day!

Linda said...

I officially hate you and your tiny little behind now. Your non-brushed hair looks better than mine after 30 minutes of styling.

Jenn said...

I almost freaked out - in the first picture of you, your hair looks like you chopped it off! The layers must be hidden in the back or something. Thank god I kept scrolling to the ice skating pictures and saw that it was all there. Whew!!
