Where does the nakedness come from?

I consider myself a fairly modest person.  Although, I have to admit that I have much less modesty after having three children.  I guess being a nurse has contributed to that as well.  I find it very intriguing, however, that my children strip down to their nakedness to play basketball in my living room.  I get the whole shirts vs skins thing but the shirts team never seems to show up.  I guess I’m glad that they are comfortable here…It does make it extremely exciting when the UPS man comes to bring a package and my children run to the front door to see.  Its not that I don’t try.  I dress my children in full clothing  attire every morning.  Its just that the minute they step on their ‘basketball court’ they feel the urge to be free.  I must take a little bit of the blame.  My mother tells me (and I can remember this a little bit) that anytime I would get a drop of moisture on my shirt I would have to go change clothes.  This is exactly how Jackson is.  My only problem with this is that the amount of laundry we do every week is overwhelming.  I guess that is to be expected with three boys.  My only fear is how bad it will be when they are all teenagers.  I am enjoying every second of it though, because I know in the blink of an eye there will be no more laundry to do, and no more boys in their skivvies playing basketball in my living room.  I love my boys Smile

Hi Stacy Parents,
Thanks so much for including me in this cool blog. I love the pictures of the boys ---guess the third youngster is waiting to check out his competition before hitting the Stacy Court! ROCK ON!

Love and prayers,

This is hilarious.. I lost track of how many times I've told them to put their clothes on while they randomly run around naked! Aunt jessi is definitely a modest person!
