The Sitting: Sunny beach in Connecticut.
The Players: Two toddlers, Dad and a camera, Mom’s old bathing suit.
The Drama: Mom tries to keep her girls safe…both sets.
From a distance we are a mom and two daughters taking a dip.
Up close we are a mom being tugged
into a topless flashing scenario
at the happy hands of a 15 month old none too keen on waves.
Knowing I won’t call attention to myself in front of strangers
and in-laws alike by by screeching, “Yo, dad-man,
stop taking pictures, I’m hanging al fresco,”
Sean comes closer, rapid shooting no doubt.
I’ll see your fast frame and raise you a pair of mama-masking toddlers.
Damn, now Briar is tugging too.
Atta girl honey, help mommy a bit!
Oh, ok. Avery you want to actually swim now?
Great, apparently so too does my left breast.
Here’s the deal Ave, mama can keep you safe
right up here against my chest, ok?
Oh, good girl baby.
What’choo gonna do now cameraman dad?
Heck, if I looked like you in a bikini I would wear one ALL THE TIME.
heeheehee
Good girls… keep mama covered!
Hysterical post!
hehe My husband would have not been able to resist either! Looks you all are having a great time!
When I was married my husband liked to take pictures of me bent over scrubbing the tub. At least your husband likes your face in the picture too!
um. Yeah, I'm just sayin' work it mama! You're hot!
You're too sexy for that water!
Ha! That is so funny.
Who needs a bathing suit? Just strap on the toddlers and you are ready to go.
I can see why he would carry that camera, rapid picture setting and all.
He knows beauty when he sees it, lady.
The bikini and toddler shield combo is unbelievably cute. You are 1 brave woman!
Too gorgeous…thank goodness you got the toddler coverage plan!
a) Vavavoom! You look totally smoking hot in a bikini!
b) Nate has, um, pulled the fabric down and revealed "the girls" before too. Well, more specifically, their big honking nursing bra.
I agree with Beck! Seriously, what IS it with the kids sharing the girls with the world? My kids love when I'm wearing a v-neck – how fun to pull down mama's shirt! They do make good covers from the camera, though!
In this issue of Mothering Magazine: how to leverage young children as an inexpensive and inventive bathing suit cover up. Too funny!
Hahaha, I bet cameraman dad was laughing it up the whole time, snapping away! You are strong *and* brave to carry a girl in each arm, walking through water, no less! Hope you're having fun.
You go girl, in that bikini!
