When you have 4 boys and a husband you often feel overwhelmed with with the testosterone in the house and the fighting, boy games, trucks, cars, Yu Gi Oh this, Pokemon that, Bakugan battles etc. etc. There are no Barbies, no necklaces (well that's not entirely true... Grandma got them shark tooth necklaces from Kauai) no My Little Pony or Strawberry Shortcake, no cute skirts or socks to dress them in, no cute princess dress-up clothes or tiaras, wands, wings, purses or bracelets to wear... sigh.
So when we went to my brother-in-law's house after his baby boy's blessing and saw an ADORABLE princess chair I JUST COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!!!!!
Needless to say Smiley did argue with me about sitting in it at first... "but it's a princess chair!!"
me: "I know. just sit down"
Smiley "but it's a PRINCESS chair!!!!!"
me: "I know. just sit down."
I won. And he even smiled.
And don't we all have to build up a good stock-pile of blackmail pictures of our kids anyways??

LOL Robin you are too funny.
usually Smiley is my most stubborn but he is also my comedian so he must have sensed the humor in the situation whereas two of his older brother that I had the EXACT same conversation with about the princess chair when I tried to get THEM to sit in it held out and would NOT sit in the chair. they won.
we have most (if not all) of the stuff that you think doesn't belong in a house of boys - I wonder what that means????
I think it means your boys are comfortable with their feminine side. not that there's anything wrong with that!!!! who am I to judge? I took Sheriff to High School Musical on Ice!!!
Hellerrrr!! Why do you think I give my boys princess birthday cakes!!! It's so much fun to mock! And I bet you do still have a wand lying around the house somewhere from one of Broc's princess cakes. Unless Schmitty found it!
Actually I don't know WHERE that wand disappeared to. I'm sure it was conveniently filed under "G" if Brett found it.
