Flag Day

One of the lessons as a mom that is hard to learn is that you really aren't in control.  You are really just managing crisis most of the time.  I do try to be creative and buy matching shirts etc.  But I never manage to get them all wearing it at the same time.  If I tried too hard it would only frustrate me, so why bother....  So on Thursday I got up searching for a simple onesie for Drew - he had a odd rash (later determined as a blueberry allergy) and I wanted him to be 'cool'.  The outfit I had simply selected for myself was the red flag shirt - its a simple easy wear.  Nick saw mine and wanted to match (love it!) so Shane was the final leg in this...  Can you believe we all matched?  The best part is, I have every intention of forcing this outfit on memorial day and 4th of July.  But as we were walking downtown someone said (possibly sarcastic) what a cute family, how patriotic for flag day....  wait, its flag day?  My whole family is wearing matching flag shirts for flag day?!?  You could've knocked me over with a feather.  But now I NEEDED a photo of this well put together crew

Thanks Kayla for snapping a cute one of this crew.

Funny as after taking this photo I proceeded to leave my Iphone at the playground.  I didn't realize it until we all unloaded back at home.  Its so demoralizing to load back up and head out again, but since it was a contest and the finder of the phone got an m&m, it wasn't so bad.  Nick was the lucky recipient.  Can't win'um all, but some days you just get lucky!
