Our Summer included some less than aristocratic activities that could be the punch lines to many a Jeff Foxworthy joke.
Take for example our FREE tour of the Jelly Belly factory, that we had to wait in line 45 minutes for, but walked out with a yummy bag of jelly bellies, also FREE! (& No, we didn't buy the picture, they were nice enough to share in online, for FREE!)
Or my kids first experience in our home with Cup O Noodles. Since I was fortunate enough to schlep them with me to the grocery store since school is out, they both saw this bowl of sodium and told me how they had eaten it at friend's houses. Since they don't exactly break the bank, at about a quarter each, I obliged and felt like a model of the trailer park mom.
And how do you spend a Target gift card you get for your birthday from your Grandma? Swimsuit - no, arts & crafts - no, books, who am I kidding. They want fake nails, and I have to let go sometimes and let them express themselves. (Seriously, it is wrong, not adorable)
I guess they are expressing their desire to join beauty pageants, you gotta love "Toddlers & Tiaras"! Bring on the fake eyelashes.
And what is the maximum kids per bed ratio before you have to stop having kids? (I guess at that rate, we could have 7 more kids.) ((FYI, they do each have their own bed.))

I love embracing those "red neck" moments. They happen a lot around here!
I love myself a cup of noodles!
I love the hats they make you wear on the Jelly Belly tour...I'm pretty sure it's less about sanitation and more about laughing at the people who not only wear them but wait in line to do so! I'm not judging...we've enjoyed eating a jelly belly shaped pb&j ourselves!(not free)
I'm pretty sure we take the cake for being trailor trash because Mark really lives in a trailer park.
Everytime I read your blog i crack up!! I love it. Looks like youve had a pretty cheap summer, haha. I need to call you so we can hang out! I miss ya..
You're a great mom, Missie. Grandmas LOVE this stuff!! The nails are fabulous (glad I could encourage them to branch out-maybe they don't need encouragement) and I adore the bed picture.
