3 is enough

Wow. So many TSes. Also can’t remember the last time the board wasn’t cleared. I also said Atlanta for FJ.

Honestly I think Kelly figures that since she gave birth to 19 children she never has to do any kind of cooking, cleaning or childcare for the rest of her life.

Looks like John was there too. She just posted more photos.

This is true- my nephew was 2 1/2 when his sister was born and he was not a happy camper. Meanwhile my kids were fine with the new arrivals. Of course when # 3 came along the first two had each other. The transition from 1 to 2 definitely is the most difficult. Katie will surely miss her in-laws. They are actually helpful and doted on Hailey.

My first reaction was feeling bad for Hailey. She will only be 19 months old when the baby arrives. Her world is going to change so much. My kids are 2 years apart- I know it’s only a 5 month difference but they mature a lot in those 5 months.

That is just creepy. The over-the-top dress, hair and makeup for a 9 year old? And there’s Dad at the door in his same old suit and shoes with a bouquet of grocery store flowers. Wonder where they went. I bet it was McDonald’s 🙄

Honestly if KJ is going to travel why not go to Florida for Allie’s birthday instead? She missed the party.

Today is Allie’s birthday. Alyssa posted in her stories that they stopped at Dunkin on the way to co-op because Allie had requested a pink sprinkle donut. I’m hoping it was just editing but it looked like the other girls got nothing. Just buy them all a donut FFS. ETA, just noticed she had a big box of Munchkins. I guess the other girls will get something after all. That’s good.

I kind of give Kelly a pass on her hair. Sometimes the colour just doesn’t hold up. I get that she is still in her 50’s and may not want to go grey yet but surely Josie could gradually take her lighter or do more highlights so the new growth blends in better? I got my hair colored for years. Went with my natural dark blonde/light brown. Looked good for about two weeks then it started to fade to brassy blonde. I finally gave up last year. It’s mostly white now. I figure if I am eligible for Medicare later this year I can let it go. 😉

I was hoping for Sam but I also like Victoria. Matt was more pleasant to watch than in his original appearances. I got FJ and figured Sam would as a Californian bon vivant. I did get the Gordon Lightfoot TS the other night. Growing up in Canada he was on the radio all the time and I am partial to some of his earlier, lesser known songs like “Early Morning Rain”, “Beautiful”, “ Bitter Green”, and “Don Quixote”. My favourite is “Song for a Winter’s Night” which was covered by Sarah McLachlan and sounds very different from Gord’s version.

Back in my day we used to patch them. 😉 I saw Whitney was wearing the dreaded white boots to church recently. Will they ever go away?😛

I have noticed that they model the boutique dresses but don’t actually wear them. They THINK they are trendy, but as @ GeeGolly pointed out they are probably a bit behind.

Carlin posted some photos of Zade and Layla at Evan’s parents’ house. Only the kids. His parents were not in the photos. I guess they finally respected their wishes. I hate the ripped jeans trend. My 14 year old granddaughter has some that are so bad she might as well be wearing shorts. I tease her about them but she just laughs. Carlin and Whitney seem to pride themselves on following all the latest trends. Doesn’t matter how ugly or silly they are, if it’s “in” they are on board.

I thought about his brother too. But the two unmarried sisters still live with their parents? The older one is in her 40’s. Do they not work? I do understand that these days lots of young adults continue to live at home, but you would think that by the time you reach 40 you should be able to live on your own. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh Alyssa. I had a girl then two boys. Of course we noticed the differences in reaching milestones, and quirky behaviors, but I can honestly say I never thought “boys do things differently”. I just compared them as individuals and if anything figured into the comparisons it was birth order. The boys walked earlier than their sister and I simply thought that younger siblings want to catch up. There was one thing that would have made Alyssa’s head explode. When #2 was born we gave our daughter a baby doll. She loved it and used to pull up her shirt to feed her baby. Her little brother eventually got a Cabbage Patch doll which he loved. He called him “Patty Cake” and took him everywhere. When #3 was born he started to pull up his shirt to feed him. Can you imagine if Rhett did that? I doubt that would be shared on Instagram or YouTube. 🙄
