Streakin' at Stonecrest

I really wish I had a picture to put with this post but alas, I did not have my camera. So you'll have to use your imagination. We went to Stonecrest Mall on Saturday to have Irwin's family's picture made. They had them made at Picture People along with 150 other people that day; the mall was VERY crowded. While the kids and I were waiting for Irwin and his sisters to choose the ones they liked, I noticed that Brooks had a wet spot on his shirt so I took him to the bathroom to change. And low and behold his diaper had leaked...all over his shirt, jacket, and pants. And as would naturally be the case, I had no spare outfit. Now let's just pause to think about how ridiculous that is. I'm not a new mom, I've been through no less than 3 babies so one would think I had the good sense to ensure that I had a spare outfit at all times but no.... So there I was, in the bathroom at Picture People with no other option than to strip him down to his freshly changed diaper. I took him back out into the store and gave him to Irwin so I could rush down the mall to the closest children's clothing store to purchase a new outfit. So into A Children's Place I go. "Oh, look, a big sale. Great!". So I begin to furiously search through the sale racks for something to put on my precious naked son. I started with shorts....great, some blue ones....no 24 months. Oh, green ones, great! The right size. On to a shirt. This one matches...no 24 months. OK...I'll start with the shirt, here is one that fits. Alright, let's find some shorts that match...you guessed it...no 24 months. THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE PAIR OF CLOTHES THAT MATCHED IN THE RIGHT SIZE. So I hung my head in defeat and proceeded to break one of my personal 10 commandments. "Thou shalt not pay full price for anything." Thirty dollars later, my son was the proud owner of the latest Spring fashion. I made a mad dash for the register, pay and speed out of the store in a flash. Upon my return to the Picture People, what do my wondering eyes should appear...but a half naked baby, dressed in nothing but a diaper and a pair of tennis shoes, is pushing his stroller around a high speeds, partying like a rock star, and entertaining the patrons of Stonecrest Mall. At that point, all I could do was laugh. He was having the time of his life! I would give anything for a picture of that...it would definitely be a strong candidate for his senior yearbook.
