32 Roses for 32 Weeks

Brandon surprised me on Tuesday with 32 roses to commemorate being 32 weeks pregnant!

I know...what a sweetheart! And remember, that's totally affordable when you live in China and you can get a bouquet of 32 roses for less than 10 bucks!
They were beee-yuuuu-tiful and smelled great too! (despite the strange face I'm making in the next picture)

And now to answer some pressing emails we've gotten concerning our last post on split pants...

Split Pants 101: Making Your Own
Materials Needed:
A perfectly good pair of pants
Scissors/pocket knife/seam ripper/or a strong pair of hands

Steps:
1. Take perfectly good pair of pants and either
a) grab a leg in each hand and begin ripping apart at the crotch seam
b) pull out the seam sewing the crotch area together
c) use a pocket knife or scissors to cut a more straight line on what would be the crotch seam.
2. Wa-la! Your very own pair of split pants!


To answer a few other questions...
Yes Eden in fact does have her very own pair of split pants. We have a few friends here who gave her her first pair! See...

We're holding on to them as a keepsake so that someday she can have a good laugh as well! Never mind that they are blue because remember, when dealing with split pants, gender-appropriate colors don't matter!
One of the pairs that she received actually had the crotch seam all in tact! But attached to the pants were instructions for making them Split-Pants! (refer back to my amended version of Split Pants 101: Making Your Own)

This is Brandon's favorite thing to do with them:

Ok. I promise that's the last post for a long time containing the word crotch.

HAHAHAHAHA! Hilarious pic of Brandon! I love the belly pic too...she's gettin' bigger! I hope I get roses for carrying a child:) And I love the letters on the wall...so cute. If it ends up surprising us and coming out boy, you can just rearrange them to say "Ned" or "Deen"...
I dare you...no, I DOUBLE DOG dare you to take Eden out in the no-crotch pants one day. You must take pictures (that and I wanted your comments to contain the word 'crotch' as well)
