Underwear Radius?

So we were watching one of our favorite sitcoms the other night and they were discussing the "underwear radius". The question is, how large is your underwear radius? Meaning, how far will you comfortably go in your skivies? According to the show, the more pitiful your life is, the larger your underwear radius is. So, if you're hanging out on your front porch in your tighty-whities, you might want to take a long, hard look at the state of your life.

That led to a discussion in our household. Jeff's radius extends from the closet to the laundry room. My radius extends from the closet to, well, the closet.

That got me started thinking about our kids. You see, from the day they got home, I have refused to let them leave the nursery without pants on. Okay, once when they had their Colts jerseys on - they have a cute little football printed on the butt, and a few times when Haley was broken out with a rash. But only those times. I see lots of babies out and about with only a onesie on, but for some reason I just can't do that (besides, they make the CUTEST little pants for babies). It has to go back to my small underwear radius. I have already pushed my weird aversion to semi-nakedness onto our poor children! Oh, and running around in just a diaper? Forget it. Not an option.

Now, our "barefoot radius" is another story. This radius is HUGE. As a matter of fact, it crosses state lines. Weird? Probably. Redneck? Definitely!

So...how big is your radius?





P.S. By the looks of these pictures, the Colts weren't having a good day!

They have gotten so big! I took care of them in the NICU and I can't believe how different they look! I am glad to hear that they are doing so well.

Jen, you are hysterical! I laugh out loud so many times when I read your posts. You have a great humor about you, which is probably greatly needed when raising three kids of the same age :).

The babies are beautiful!

Take care,
