One day we were listening to the radio and a guy (who wanted to hear Smoke on the Water) called in to request "Slow Walkin' Walter, Fire Engine Guy." Really. So you can guess what we sing when someone doesn't know their lyrics. Smoke on the Water get’s sung a lot around here, or at least a version of it.

Except my problem is keeping the teenager in pants. He's grown 5 inches in the last few months. Yes, that's correct. 5. There have been some health issues in our extended family so I've been looking for the fast-forward on life's DVD lately. Not that I want to go through all of life that way. except that Heaven awaits, but the last couple of months could sure use some editing if nothing else! Forget teaching notes on the guitar. All they need are 3 cords and they'll be able to play "Louie, Louie" over and over again. :) But I feel your pain. I always wanted to cringe when the girls were young and taking classical piano lessons only to sit and play "Heart and Soul" repeatedly. I feel your pain, Sister!

Hooray for Trouble!!! And I hear you on the size issues. It was 'slims' all the way through elementary school for my daughter. I felt lucky to find something that would work for her! Sometimes it even meant buying boys slim jeans -- especially when the little girl jeans went low-waist. (Don't get me started on that!) There were good suggestions in all the comments. Elastic and adjustable waistbands rock! I guess the ultimate option would be get to be good friends with someone who sews! Good luck! Hey, you are one busy lady!

I just came over to tell you that I nominated you....oh phoey! And yes, I am going to Blissdom and can't wait to meet you. I finally moved to WP...your que was filled since way back when, but FiveJ's did a great job...she's so sweet. We're still working out kinks since the blogger to WP feed thing has goofed up my readers. It keeps reverting back to my old URL...so odd. Oh well, so much for my nomination....I didn't hit send yet so I'll go erase your name. :) WHAT??? I just came over to tell you that I nominated you….oh phoey!

I like to get the bootcut since the baggy styles look weird on my skeletal boy! VERY COOL about the i_blog conference!!! I think it would be great fun to meet up with local bloggers who totally "get" you neck of the woods and lifestyle. And the headshot idea is fantastic! I know Randy's going to make some women (b/c I'm assuming it'll be mostly women) very happy. Everyone deserves at least one fabulous picture of themselves. :) And I already got my Blissdom Conf ticket-- woohooooo! You can get sizes 4 and 5 in slim from Gap.com.

He turned two years back in June and we are praying for the day he makes it to twenty pounds. He is STILL in a rear-facing car seat, the same one he's been in since he came home from the NICU! So thirty pounds for Trouble...YAY! That is such a blessing! Do you happen to have any secret recipes or food tricks to pack on the pounds?

I've got a 2 year old who has been at 20 pounds since April, so I definitely get it! I just did a post recently about pants for skinny kids, because obviously my son is really skinny too. Several people chimed in my comments too with some great and affordable pants options. Hoping to make it to one of those blogger conferences. I may also attend Mom 2.0 since it is here in Houston.

I hear ya about the size discrepancy...one of my little ones is so thin..she fits in 18 months shirts , 3 t pants ......I alter the pants and make it tight for her! ....i also do lot of shopping in India.Somehow Indian clothes fit her very well! Strange part is she was one pound lighter than her twin at birth and now weighs always heavier than her sister (in march it was almost one pound more) , she gets sick less but the weight is not at all visible on her....she looks pathetically thinner than her sister inspite of it all!! congratulations on the speaking opportunity!!! you are famous!!:)

Like blue jeans with camo cuffs, pirate cuffs etc. Of if you need non-blue jeans pants I might have a local mama who sew him nice custom pants.

Wal-Mart, Target & Land's End all have slim sizes with the adjustable waists buttons. My little skinny minnie still has to use a belt sometimes, though! Of course, she's the younger sister of the girl for whom I always had to buy the plus sizes, so forget hand-me-downs. Sigh. Forget slo-mo, I’d like a pause button occasionally!

Wish I could help with clothes. My son has always had the same difference in waist and length sizes. We've just settled for slims, but Children's Place and Lands End seem to have the best fitting slim sizes. But generally he either has pants that are too short or too baggy. So I too will be watching your comments for other suggestions. : ) Yay for Trouble! Wish I could help with clothes. My son has always had the same difference in waist and length sizes.

They are the only ones that fit........the combination of choosing the "slim" size with a back elastic waist and side adjustable elastics works well. We live in Canada and order them from them in the States because we can't find anything for him here. Order a size longer than needed too, and just roll the bottoms if needed.
