a reason to blog...

because there is only a few days of school left and
because family is arriving and I need to clean and
because my laundry is behind...
I decided to take Wesley and Chase out for a little photo shoot!
"In July" they get to share a room (at least that is what I have been telling Reagan, who shares with Wesley now, for the last year - needless to say, July is approaching too quickly) so I thought it would be fun to have a picture of them together (a cute, friendly one that will remind them that they like each other once they are stuck together)! I have been driving past this weed field on my way to the stores for quite awhile and have wanted to take their picture in it. All the rain has made the weeds look so pretty! Unfortunately today, the sun, wind, weeds and children didn't really cooperate!
This was my favorite, but not really what I had in mind. I am pretty sure Wesley is squeezing Chases hand harder than necessary and who knows what Chase is saying in response. Most others look like this...The weeds were taller than I realized (which Wesley loved and Chase hated!) making it quite the adventure. I would like the sun to be behind them so we are going to go back in the evening - the boys are not to happy about this (nothing I can't fix with a little bribe)!
BUT, that isn't my reason to blog! My reason? Look what I found today....TRIDENT CINNAMON IS BACK!!!!
Has anyone besides me noticed that cinnamon gum is getting harder and harder to find. For awhile I thought cinnamon was going extinct. Orbit has a cinnamint which is good but not really the same, dentyne changed theirs to "fire" and the only trident I could find was the whitening kind (yuck) BUT today Sams has had the original cinnamon gum. Well, trident probably isn't the original - I would think Big Red is probably closer (which still reminds me of my Uncle Harry, who always had a piece in his pocket for me, and who could forget this little jingle...So kiss a little longer. Stay close a little longer. Pull tight a little longer—longer with Big Red! That Big Red freshness lasts right through it. Your fresh breath goes on and on while you chew it. Say goodbye a little longer. Make it last a little longer. Give your breath long-lasting freshness with Big Red - remember those commercials? made you want to buy big red just so you could make out! as it turns out, the first time I kissed a guy he was chewing trident original...) but trident cinnamon is my fav!!!
I am happy.
