Jolly Green Giant

I am a BIG woman. My husband affectionately calls me his "Brick house" which I am totally cool with, but sometimes, I guess I just forget how uncommon it is for a woman to be knocking on 6 feet. So I guess it should come as no surprise that my kids are BIG too. Our 4 year old is commonly mistaken for 7, and both are boys who will be in 5th & 6th grade next year are often mistook for jr. highers.

Last month, when both the boys needed new shoes, we headed straight for the men's department, like we have been for years. Jared, at 11 years old is now in a men's 10 1/2. Jake at 10 years old is now in a men's 9 1/2.

But even with that knowledge, I was shocked when I saw Jared in his new shorts....a 32 waist.




Jake just wanted to strike a pose. And since he is always the most creative poser, I thought I would share.



I guess it's not only my garden that is hyped up on MiracleGrow.

That is amazing! I am completely on the other end with my husband! He wears a 32 inch waist and is 32!=) His family is small. My family is pretty average so it will be interesting to see how our kids turn out.
