In case you missed yesterday's post, I revealed that we're adding another BOY to our family! Which officially makes me a #BoyMom for life!! I've said before that I wasn't opposed to four kids, but after our most recent scare, I've come to realize that I'm perfectly content with three, and three only. And because I'll be living in this world of bugs, balls, and baseball bats for the next 18+ years, I am even more excited to share our #BoyMom box swap goodies today!
We were matched with Andrea of Long Days, Short Years and I'm so glad because before this little swap, I had never come across her blog! She lives in Rhode Island and is mommy to four - two girls and two boys! That is seriously my dream family, but again, see above. So I'll just live vicariously through you, Andrea! ;)
I had so much fun picking out gifts for her boys - one a huge Star Wars fan and the other a fan of dinosaurs. Target's dollar spot was on point with both of these interests! If you want to see what we sent, go check her blog!
Our package from Andrea arrived while the boys were at Grandma's. It took everything I had not to rip into it (who knew seeing what your kids get could be so enticing!?), but I held out and let them open it as soon as they arrived home. It was full of boy goodies--Legos, matchbox cars, a soccer ball, spray chalk, window clings, outdoor rackets (perfect because we just had the same one that broke), glow sticks, and a Star Wars something-or-other! I should have take a picture of everything together, but the boys were way too eager to play! Also, I'm not sure Brantley could have loved the gifts any more--check out his expressions! Thank you, Andrea and boys, for the super fun package!!
And I certainly can't post about being a boy mom without leaving you with this one final photo. I didn't even know I had snapped it, so you can imagine my amusement when I came across it after uploading the photos to my computer. #thisismylifenow

Alright all you boy moms, link up below and show us what you got! I can't wait to see! Elizabeth, Stephanie, and I are glad you participated!
Wow!! Andrea did an awesome job. The boys look so happy and who could blame them with all of those goodies. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! And Brantley's faces are pricelss!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos. I love how you have them perfectly framed with the light of the window behind them! lol. I still haven't shared the gifts my boys got with them! I'm waiting for the right time! I feel like a bad mom now though!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! Andrea’s blog is new to me as well and I can’t wait to check it out. The boys look so excited and happy! I love it. What a great box she sent you. Perfect summertime box for boys! That last photo – PERFECTION! Hahaha. Definitely a #boymom!
ReplyDeleteSarah, your boys are just so adorable & Andrea did a great job, they really seemed to dig their lil package of goodies. Awhoo hoo! :)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are always on point. You can really tell those boys loved their fun box. Isn't getting stuff in the mail just the most fun? Three boys who adore their mama is going to be so much fun!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness...I love Brantley's faces! Pure excitement is the best! Such a fun swap too..thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThe excited faces! So precious!!
ReplyDeleteYou're boys are so precious. Their little faces looked so excited opening up their box and I totally see why....looks like you guys got some really awesome stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love Brantley's excited face! And the nose picking...yes!!!
ReplyDeleteDying over their expressions; the reactions are the best! The joys of a kid are just contagious!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I make the same faces when I get a package - so much excitement, ha!! Love these.
ReplyDeleteHahahahah! That last one. Yep, boy mom for life. I totally catch Mason doing that too and he's all nonchalant about it like it's no big deal. So gross.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, it looks like both boys were super happy with their package but especially Brantley! His little face lit up every time he pulled something else out of that box! So sweet. Andrea and her boys sent you guys the best stuff!
So stinking cute! and LOVE the last one! So funny!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are the best yet for our linkup!! I may follow suit next go round.
ReplyDeleteAnd that last photo... boy Mom at it's finest.
oh gosh I just love the expressions!! Such excitement, so sweet.
