My Dependents

In honor of April 15, tax day here in the good ol' USofA,
I thought I'd trot out one of my dependents.
Aside from an annual tax deduction,
the offspring sometimes make good blog fodder.
The Bird is a shopping girl.
I don't understand where it comes from.
Speaking of dependents,
can you imagine what OctoMommy's tax returns must look like?
14 children and very little earned income?
I want her refund check.
But she can keep the rest of her life.
Especially all those babies....
I have this one.
And this one.
Plus?
We have this new store.
The Bird and I have decided it is okay.
We actually left empty-handed.
And The Aug-Man?
It's a rare store that he'll shop in.
(Thank you very much.)

Tread lightly my friends.
I hope your wait at the Post Office is a short one.

Hubby finally got ours paid today & was in quite *the mood* when he came home. I told him I will NOT ride the city bus to & from the grocery store or he'll live to regret it, lol. Or my bike.

And can you see me w/ my golf clubs on the bus? I don't think so! That's why I got rid of the big suburban & went Toyota. Duh.

Bird looks adorable!

Oh I love her dresses....she is just so darn cute. I just can not believe he would wear shoes like that. I find that so funny. He is a good guy with a good spirit it appears!! But why not, look at his momma! You have done a great job with those two beautiful kids! Congratulations! You should be proud.

I'm with ya on the Octomom thing! I would NOT want to be her. Bleh. I mean, I like kids and all, generally speaking...as long as they are drugged up with cold medicine and go to sleep at 7pm! ;o)

Just kidding...kinda. :::snort:::

WE have Marshalls about an hour from here, and I agree: OK. However, those shoes are very impressive.

In fact, they might go well with a powder blue tux.

I'm leaning toward loving his self-confidence (and I suspect the girls love him.) Which dress did your girl get? She ought to be a model. Yes, she is that pretty.

Beautiful Kids!
Love the shoes.
Mailed my taxes Monday!

imom said...

Thank goodness for dependents! Yours look like a lot of fun. My daughter would flip over those sundresses! And yes my son has shoes very similar to Augie's!

Debbie said...

I'm so lucky to have met your dependents in real life! They are wonderful babies...

How can she choose which dress? They both look beautiful.

May Augie continue to be Augie...

You done good.

Mango Girl said...

Love the pink dresses!

Augie has some style...Love that he dares to be different!

The Ocotomom thing ~ just 1/10th of her refund check and I could get some new shoes...

Unknown said...

I love Lilly and Lilly loves me...what glorious dresses she picked out!!!

Of course, Pink and Green happen to be MY colors!!! LOL

Country Girl said...

Bird is beautiful.

abb said...

One of my most unfavorite days, for sure.

Keetha said...

The Bird is adorable! Love those dresses.

The shoes...words fail me. :-)

Trisha said...

Those shoes . . .

Your dependents are lovely!

Driftwood and Pumpkin said...

WOW! Did he buy a pair of shades to go with the shoes? My taxes were paid back in Feb, thank goodness!

Sassy said...

Augie...I love you! What great shoes!!!!! I have a son that owuld really dig those for sure...Your little bird looks beautiful...I love the second one...but then I love everything pink!!! Happy Tax day to you all as well!

Daryl said...

Its almost a pleasure to pay when you have dependents as good looking as yours.

Husband admitted he stalled about pulling the papers together for the accountant cause he was sure we'd have to pay ... NOT SO . refund is due us .. YES!!!!!!!!!!

I just found my new favorite store!

Magpie said...

My eyes! Those shoes are...unspeakable?

Big Hair Envy said...

Marshall's is hit or miss. Last year, I found an awesome Michael Kors trench coat (short & lined) for $30.00!! SCORE!!

I love your kids...

Decadent Housewife said...

Cute, cute dress. So jealous you have a Bird! - all Crocs here.

Your daughter's a beauty. With your son's sense of style I'm surprised he wants a powder blue tux and not something brighter, say like canary yellow or lime green!

Ellen said...

Enjoy them while they are still deductible!

Is it me or are Bird and Augie polar opposites (well, besides the obvious gender difference). Bird looks so sweet and quiet and Augie looks like the life of the party. What beautiful children.

noble pig said...

My CPA just called and said he's done...nothing like the last minute over here.

shara said...

the Bird is lovely! i filed and had everything spent months ago- so i am actually enjoying today!

Suz Broughton said...

I'm not going to say anything. My son likes to wear his t-shirts with on arm in and one arm out the neck hole...I have no idea where that's going...

Joanie said...

Too fun! Just makes me smile...thanks for that!
