Twins, Sandals, and Smocking (not mocking)

Yes, with great relief, I must admit that the previous post was my attempt at an April Fools joke.  Not funny?  You’re right.  Twisted?  You’re right.  However, quite believable with my record!  I’m glad to hear that there are such things as bunk cribs and had I known I would have looked for some for my current babies.  Alas, I shall not become Muttersieben (mother of 7).  I am, and always will be, Mutterfünf (yes, I know that my email still says Mutterdrei (mother of 3), but it’s too hard to change that now).

As for the shoes, I do think it is time for another trip to Hawaii to pick up at least 4 pairs of my favorite rubber sandals.  I’ve got two pair now but one always needs more than one back up when one’s kids enjoy wearing them across the wet grass on their way to the trampoline. 

Notice in the picture there are no intrusive straps between the big toe and its neighbor. 

 

Another random thought on fashion…

Smocking

Now for another diverting thought, my love of smocking.  When it comes to clothing, those baby items with smocking are the cutest!  I never use the word “cute” in referring to clothing so much as I do when it comes to this cute design.  Isn’t it the cutest?  Cute, cute, cute!  Actually, this word has been used at an exponential rate since my baby girls have been added to the family and I am now aloud to shop in the girl sections of the store.

I learned recently that smocking is actually the medieval version of elastic.  Much cuter than that stuff that leaves a red line around the ankles, waist, and wherever else one wears elastic.

O.k., done with this random blog entry.  Have a nice day all.  I’m going outside to enjoy this 52 degree hot and sultry day.  At least I don’t have to wear a coat. Ah, Spring…
