The Underwear Club Revisited

When I was growing up, my younger sister and brother(Rachel and Austin) started "The Underwear Club." Needless to say, it was exclusive. Entry was contingent on two things: (1) you weren't old enough to go to school, and (2) you wanted to hang out in your underwear. Being as I was in first grade, I was out of the club before I was in. And always jealous, I might add.

The years have passed and The Underwear Club has reemerged from it's 1980's roots with a new scantily clad generation. I am proud to announce that my son is one of the founding members of this reactivation movement, and he brought back the beloved club in all of it's glory during our past trip to Tennessee. Warm weather is conducive to a successful club meeting, and these youngsters didn't let a warm moment pass them by. Sprinklers, Popsicles, cousins, and sunshine make for a lovely day.

You can see His Royal Highness, Calvin, clad in boxer briefs, a rather modest showing at his first meeting. Koa is looking stylish in always classic navy briefs. Andy can't be outdone in Scooby-Doo underoos, and Joey makes a decent showing in a huggies diaper (we'll be expecting more from him after potty training). The ladies (Allie Cupp and Leilee) remained demure in their one piece swimming suites. Honorary members.

All in all I can say that the first meeting was a success with lots of fun to be had. Next meeting should be happening in New York City very shortly. Hope to see some of the Super Cruzes and Wyatt at this next one.

When I saw the first picture I thought what a beautiful park in New York. Then I realized it was my front yard and my grandchildren! Ah, the freedom of underwear...

I had no idea that they made boxer briefs for little boys. I thought, those are some great swim trunks. LOVE IT!

Phew Thurber! You're alive. Two things, 1)I love your playlist, I am dancing as we speak. YOu speak to my soul my friend. 2) I still love your bangs. They are just the ticket to funky freshness.

This is cracking me up...who knew that an afternoon of kids playing on the lawn in their underwear could be so newsworthy? Funny.
