today we were having a lovely family moment. . .
the children were playing nicely together while i rested my achy pregnant body on the couch, and josh was kindly rubbing my feet while he watched a duke basketball game. i decided to take advantage of the peace and try to take a little nap, when wham! the family turned on me! macy jumped up and sat on me, parker kneed me in my extremely sensitive stomach while trying to get to macy, and then oliver -yes! sweet little ollie! - whacked me in the face with his lovey and started throwing things at my head because he was upset that josh wasn't letting him watch the wonder pets.
i screamed out in agony, but of course it was too big of a deal for me to get up and run for cover. so josh, sensing my desire to stay put, administered the proper discipline for attacking their angel mother, and then proceeded to sit on the floor in front of me to act as a barrier, thus saving me from my hellion children and allowing me to fall asleep without worrying about another mutiny.
it was sweet.
a husband who will protect me from my own children. . .
what more could i ask for?
taken during much simpler times.
and yes, i'm dressed as a pink butterfly.
what? it was 2002. i was young.

PUT HIM IN A BODY BAG JOHNNY!!!!
Love the 'youth' photo, but you're still pretty young right?
ahh! i hope he still has the skills he'll need to fend off four later this year. :)
don't you mean your very own bruce leroy?
I hate the sensitive stomach!! And it's so just out there that it's practically impossible to fully protect from wild kids...or even nice loving kids, or doorways, or chair backs, or seats in cars as you're struggling to buckle up kids. As you can see, the feeling is still quite fresh in my mind. I feel for you. Way to go, Josh.
...a pink butterfly?
Hey, Robin... I still have those pink butterfly wings. I know, after all these years! Little did you know that I was the one who really wanted to be the butterfly that year so now I live vicariously through my kids dress up.... just kidding... :-) But really, I do have those wings. So write me next Halloween and I'll gladly send them your way!
i swear all my kids have an alarm that goes off every time my husband or i tries to take a nap. they then proceed to attack me or him much like the methods described in your post. it's just wonderful! maybe next time josh could come over and protect us...(since we usually fail at protecting ourselves and each other...)
