Meet Wapley & Gum

I'm sure most people are confused by our blog name. Let me explain. Out of sheer curiosity, I asked the kids a few months ago if they could pick any name for themselves, what name they would pick. My sweet little daughter came back fairly quickly with Mutant Gum. My son contemplated for a few minutes and finally decided on Wapley Underpants. Huh?

While putting together this blog, I decided to use nicknames for them instead of their real names. That is when I remembered the names they had previously chosen. I just couldn't bring myself to call my sweet little girl Mutant, so she will defer to her last name of Gum. Wapley and Gum it is!



Meet Wapley Underpants





Wapley is 5. One of the first things he will ask you when you meet him is "Where is your tickle spot?" It takes hours for me to get any shopping done when he is with me because he has to stop and talk to every single person he sees. He asks a question every 5 seconds (literally). Wapley is full of crazy ideas, and is usually up to something full of trouble every day. He is obsessed with Star Wars and Legos. Every day he makes me laugh. I am so lucky to be his Mommy.


Meet Mutant Gum




Gum is 3. She is the sweetest little thing you will ever meet, but is also tough as nails. She loves kitties, dresses, My Little Pony, and the color purple. She falls asleep in the most random places. She believes that she is a ninja and yells "hiyah!" often. Gum loves to be goofy with her big brother, and the two of them are inseparable. I am so blessed by this little girl.



Life with Wapley and Gum is crazy, exhausting, hilarious, and full of surprises. Follow me on our adventure!
