My 3 Boyz.. I am soooo happy to have this photo. Its been years since I have managed to get a shot of my 3 sons together. They refuse point blank to pose for a shot with the 3 of them in it. How did I manage this so ?? We were out tonight to celebrate son no 2's ( Eoghan's ) birthday. Sweet 16. Unsure how the conversation veered to the topic of my laundry expertise, but all 3 of them rounded on me during the meal complaining about their crunchy socks. Nervous that I had raised a family of wusses, son number 1 put things in perspective when he said that he would probably kill someone if he hit them with one of his socks. No2 and No3 were in full agreement. Never one to miss an opportunity, I promised a trip to the supermarket first thing in the morning for some fabric softener ( which has never been seen in our house before) if they posed for a photo together after the meal. Mr Dubious ( no 1 ) was not impressed and told no 2 and no 3 that I was pulling a fast one on them, that I would have the photo I longed for, and would not keep my promise and get the fabric softener. So they decided no photo for mum. Needless to say mum was upset , and assured them that they could look forward to a lifetime of crunchy socks...or at least until they found girlfriends/wives to do their laundry for them. Thankfully good sense prevailed, and they saw the light and agreed to pose for a photo..... Mum bundled them off into the sunset and got this snap before the sun went down. Soft socks all round tomorrow !! Love you to bits Nicholas , Eoghan and Annraoi xxx
