Pockets

I have a new rule in my house. Boys (and men's) pants are not allowed to have more than four pockets. Two in the front and two in the back. (And I only allow four because I know it is unreasonable to believe that pants are even made with less than the standard four. If they were then the rule would be no pockets!! ) No pockets are allowed on the thigh or further down the leg. And front pockets with those tiny change pockets inside them are also frowned upon. I swear that I spend 20 minutes a load just going through pockets. I have found Star Wars guys, helmets and guns for the Star Wars guys, sand, money, wallets, dice, sand, paper, candy, candy wrappers, crayons, crayon wrappers, sand, Kleenex, stones, rocks, sun glass clips, and a zillion other things I can't remember. The worst is I have washed all of the above and dried some of it too. I ruined some good uniform pants with a dried blue crayon, obviously not a washable from crayola. I broke the sun glass clips and those weren't even in a pants pocket, dress shirt pockets are off limits too. Thankfully I was able to replace those before the warranty had expired. In conclusion please remember that I have BOYS and lots of pockets means that one day I may just stick my hand in one and pull out something ALIVE!!!

Have you thought about sewing them shut? :)

Don't forget gum and lipstick. And I hope the latter wasn't in my boy's pants!

Hey robin Nintendo is giving away free jackets for the Wii remotes. They are suppose to prevent them from slipping out of your hand and breaking stuff. Probably to prevent lawsuits. Thought you could maybe use them. All you have to do is go to www.nintendo.com,then click on -Wii remote jacket accessory offer. Its free so why not?

nice to get back in touch with the computer world, even if it's only one handed! i love the pocket rule. i'm going to implement it for the hubbie...i also like the idea of sewing them shut. but that seems like more work for me... take care!

Sewing them shut is a good idea but Sarah is right it would be a lot of work. And besides I think they would find a way to open them up again.

And I actually haven't found any lipstick or gum yet, just gum wrappers. They will both show up, eventually however.

Josh, I ordered 2 wii remote jackets. You are right, if they are gonna send them free we might as well.
