What a fabulous job the boys did! Wow, good job all!

And the boys are soooo cute! And dressed like such cute little men! I wish I could get mine to dress like that occasionally, but at least they wear jeans without crying now! Ha ha. Still hard to make them wear button up shirts and a tie around the neck, no way! They have always been very sensitive about fabric and have a hatred for being able to feel buttons through the shirt.
