perfect fit

i found this shirt for spencer at target and snatched it right off the self without even looking at the price tag. it fits his personality so perfectly, i was willing to pay whatever. as it turns out it was only $10, and of course he loves it. wears it ever so proudly.

It says, "i'm just one big freaking ray of sunshine aren't i?

and really, he is - freaking ray of sunshine that is. a lot of the time, he plays the part of eeyore with the dark cloud hanging over his head. not exactly a glass is half full kind of guy. mostly because chores and homework cut into his nintendo and hanging out with friends time. parents and responsibilities can be so inconvenient some times! gosh! anyone have any great ideas on helping him understand that having a happy attitude is the key to living a happy life? it's something we sort of tease him about - being a grump, i mean. but the older gets, the more i start to worry about how he'll function as an adult in the real world.

addison loves funny t-shirts too and in fact, this was one that he wanted! I LOVE IT and spencer's expression as he models this is awesome!

I have just the girl for him...(my middle daughter!)
We call her Miss Grumpy!

I cracked up when you compared him to eeyore!--How funny!

I love the shirt! And Allie's cookie skills are amazing! Poor Ethan...he really needs a dog to keep him company when there is no one to play with.
