I’m not sure why Handy Man wanted to photograph the boys while they were eating, but I saw this one and thought it captured their 3 little personalities so well.
Einstein sits, as the oldest boybarian, smiling obediently into the camera. On his plate sits only plain “chicken”, cooked seperately from the other food (it’s really pork, shhhh!). He takes a bite and drinks as quickly as he can. Such a picky eater.
Picasso, clueless that he’s getting his picture taken, sits in the clothes he put on before bed so he’d be “ready in the morning.” Not sure for what. He insists on wearing a polo shirt buttoned to the top. He’s got Gap khakis on, too. He never looks at the camera. His “chicken” is really just a vehicle for all the BBQ sauce.
Trouble. Our little ham. In front of him is: a bowl of fruit loops from his afternoon snack, his second serving of rice, two different drinks, a cherry pie and a small pile of Legos. As soon as the camera comes out, he starts working for that Oscar. His tongue goes out, fingers go up, and out comes every goofy face the kid knows. He cracks himself up… see?
He cracks me up, too. ‘Cept when he does this:

Remember when Princess Leia cut her hair? She was devastated when I wouldn’t allow her to keep her scissors.
I couldn’t explain to her that the near heart attack she gave me, followed by the 40 minute drive to my sil’s to “fix” her hair wasn’t worth a pair of $1 scissors.
She only recently got privileges again!
Love the pics. They do capture your boys!

This is a brilliant post and I can’t WAIT to come back for more! So happy that I stumbled across your blog! It is now one of my favorites! ; )
That is the most adorable post Darcy! I LOVE it. They each have their own personality and quirks and you know everyone of them! That’s what moms are for! No wonder they think we even have eyes in the back of our head. They’re just so predictable too!
Emerald also cut her hair with scissors only because she snuck gum and it got stuck in her hair. She had to have about 4 inches cut off to fix it. And you know about the “eyebrows” Geeesh! I think the enemy is the gum not the scissors! Your boys are so cute each in their own idividual way!
They are too cute!
You really can “see” each of their personalities with your comments to go along with the picture.
I’ve always thought 3 boys is the perfect number for chaos. My Dad was the eldest of 3 boys, my husband the middle of 3 boys and he had 2 other sets of 3 boy siblings. The crazy stories they all have to tell just makes me think mothers of 3 boys have extra angels around at all times!
That didn’t come out quite right-I should say my husband had two others sets of COUSINS that there were 3 boys!
Darcy.. I love the way you write… the way you posted about the boys, and then seeing them… its just to darn cute dont cha know…
Oooh.. poor Trouble… dont be to mad mom… it does grow back… ask me how I know… *Ü*

“see no dinner, taste no dinner, hear no dinner” or however that goes!
Hehehehe, that Trouble cut his hair, but if you think that is bad…come to work with me one day. Hehehe lots of “kidcuts”.
The boybarians are too cute.
Oh, they are so cute! At least he didn’t cut your hair like my nephew tried to do to his grandma while she slept. LOL
Great pics…great narrative!
I loved this post! Isn’t it so amazing how different each child is! I always marvel at that. Love your blog! Blessings,

Your boys are just so sweet and funny! Anytime I check in here, I get a chuckle.
Hi, I just found a link to your blog and clicked on it because I also have three boys
I love your writing and am looking forward to reading more. I also wanted to say that my three boys have such similar personalities as how you described yours in the picture. My oldest is so picky and obedient, hates having his food touch; my middle is special 
He asks me to tuck him in to bed “like it’s made” so he can just roll out in the morning and not have to make it lol And my youngest is our entertainer and our resident vacuum. He’ll eat anything and everything, and he’ll tell jokes at the same time 
Thank you for the laugh tonight
