Uncle SpongeBob JackAss

Uncle Brendan is enjoying himself immensely at Dive School for the Explosive Ordinance Disposal team (aka Bomb Squad). I have envisioned Brendan studying bomb blueprints like McGyver and familiarizing himself with the red and blue wires and which one to cut while the timer ticks down and he internally battles with himself saying, "Red.....no, blue. BLUE!" Guess what? He is not doing that.
Brendan is swimming in the ocean in black waterproof lycra playing with toys as evidenced by the picture above. Apparently he carries Mr. SpongeBob SquarePants on every dive with him and his Chief found out. His Chief reiterated the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy as in "we're not asking if you're a dumbass that totes around a doll in his underpants, so please don't tell us".
Of course the boys now think that Uncle Brendan is the COOLEST because he personally knows Mr. Pants and visits him on the bottom of the ocean. Now we have to break the news to them about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and why their 27 year old uncle has a dolly.

It's A Girl!

We were thrilled to find out last week that #3 is a girl! The fear of potential suitors, the silent treatment and an overabundant sense of drama has settled upon our home (those are really Pat's fears). I am mostly scared of becoming Skanky Bitch 2.0 and hearing "I hate you and your seasonal sweaters!" in my later years. My payback arrives February 2009.
