Your kids need a bath and it’s not even 9 am yet.
One minute they’re kissing up to you and the next minute they’re terrorizing you.
You turn your back on your make up bag for a second and discover this.
Underpants are regularly re-purposed as super hero masks.
Your husband often gets this look on his face.
Bath time turns into a bubble bath massacre of epic proportions.
Look familiar? Welcome to the M.O.B!
We’ve even got our own site – launching tomorrow –
The MOB Society: For mothers of boys, by mothers of boys.
It’s gonna be cracka-lackin! (Name that movie?)
And to kick things off, there’s a twitter come-one-come-all party tonight at 9.30pm EST/ 8.30pm CST and there will be prizes. Oh, boy will there be prizes!
We are the M.O.B. – Hear us roar!
{Apparently designer Lisa Leonard did, because check out what she cooked up for us!}
And it’s up for grabs at the twitter-palooza tonight!!
So, scrub your boys, wrestle them to bed and come kick off your fatigues and hang with the M.O.B. This little piece of feminine loveliness could be yours.
And goodness knows a M.O.B. mama can use all the extra girly she can get her hands on!
Meet you at the corner of @themobsociety and the hashtag #MOBSociety? I’ll be the one wearing whatever my boys ate for dinner!
Lisa-Jo, these pics are priceless!! And I love the fact that you have a third “boy” so ready to play in the game of life! :) So excited for the MOB crew today!
HA! That’s so true – he is like a third kid when it comes to wrestling and playing and teasing my other boys ;)
A little Madagascar action this morning? Do I win something for getting that crack-a-lackin answer right? Oh wait…I get to be a part of the M.O.B. and believe be, THAT’S enough!
Great post Lisa-Jo!
You get the jo of me yelling – “WINNER!!” ;) Can’t wait for the party you guys are hosting tonight – it’s gonna be a blast!
Although my boy is in heaven I love Reading about what your boys are up to. It makes me smile. Maybe if we foster another little boy I will join MOB but until that I am find enjoying your boys and being a MOG lol xxx
Oh I bet we could learn a lot from you. At the end of the day we are all in this together – and I know my share of girls who can wreak similar levels of destruction ;)
I love this!!! Mob Society- WOOT WOOT!! I want that necklace too! I’m so glad you’re doing this, Lisa Jo!
Dude, I’m just along for the ride and so happy to have been invited ;)
I loved this so much I stole it…ok maybe recycled. Just being green {not the envy kind, just the environmental}…ok nevermind, you get the point.
My List: You know you are a Member of MOB when…

So love this! I’ll be joining the MOD Squad soon, but I am loving this front row seat in watching God work in the lives of the M.O.B. Society!
I bet there’s a lot of cross-over with the crazy! ;)
that’s hilarious! We have the same underwear masks – and bath time ALWAYS usually looks that way.
stef
Do yours do the luge in the tub too? Mine have that down to a terrifying art form!
Love this! I think I have enough pictures of my boys in their underwear masks to fill a couple of albums, lol. I do miss those days when a drawer fill of underwear could entertain them for at least 30 minutes.
Seriously, what is it with boys and their drawers, eh? ;)
Madagascar! And I LOVE the pictures! So true, especially the underwear. Underwear Man shows up around here too. Oh these BOYS! :) This is going to be so much fun!
Underoos are sooo versatile, aren’t they?
so…as a MOBx1 and MOGx1, I’m now even *more* nervous to find out the gender of the twins I’m carrying (due early Nov.).
In fact, my husband and I were just talking the other day about what we would “prefer” (not that we have a choice :)). My least preferred option? Twin boys, making me a MOBx3 and MOGx1. Why? I honestly don’t know if I could adapt / learn to be a MOB to *that* degree!
But then again, if that’s what the Lord has in store, He’ll give me the grace and ability to handle it…
…and I’ll be able to turn to the M.O.B. Society for help and advice, right? :)
Girlfriend – as a mother to twins!! – you’re already my hero either way!!
I can’t wait for the MOB society launch!!! And I was thrilled when I saw that you are a writer for the group. Good things will be happening, for sure!
The one thing I love about my boys: They like to be fully dressed. No undies have ever been anything but undies. I definitely identify with the rest of your pictures, especially the bathtime destruction! =)
It always sends chills down my back when I hear giggles coming from the bathroom!
for the past 6 months, my 2yr old boy has done nothing but SCREAM in the bath. he hates it! I’m looking forward to when I hear giggles from the tub again!
Great pictures and I can relate to a lot of what you said! My boys are still young so I haven’t experienced the underwear part but I know all about the bath before 9am part all to well….
And sometimes Mommy needs a bath at that time as well thanks to her yunguns!
Being a mama of five boys, ahem, I mean four (probably shouldn’t include my hubby)…I can’t wait for the MOB kick off!! I’m sure there will never be a dull moment!
Ahhh, off to wrestle one in for a nap!
Thanks for stopping by our Table today!

FOUR BOYS? You are my HERO!
I’m so excited about this! I have been a MOB for a grand total of 44 days now! We waited until he was born to find out boy/girl so I’m definitely still getting in the mindset. There is so much stuff out there for girls in blogland, etc. I am so excited for the MOB society! Yippee. Kelly
Me too! We really need a place where folks won’t be surprised to hear that a baseball got flushed down the toilet or that our kids thought it would be funny to pee in the toy tractor ;) (And congrats!)
So funny!!! Love this post! Thanks for sharing. I am mother of 2 boys and 1 girl in the middle who is the messiest marvin of all of them! Enjoy your MOB club – fun!
Come enjoy with us! We’d love a tail or two about how girls can survive their brothers (or vice versa! :)
Oh I think I need to join the MOB!
Do it! Asseblief! ;)
Love this!!! lol!! So proud to be a part of this awesome group!!=)
Oh there’s nothing like hanging with moms who don’t raise their eyebrows when they hear what your son did/said/caused!
This is hilarious, Lisa-Jo! And well timed. We just found out that I will, in fact, be the mother of boys (yup, another brother) come fall. I’ll be needing all the help I can get!
WHOOT WHOOT! Congratulations!
You know how much I love this?
To quote someone I love (YOU) – BUCKET LOADS!
So excited to be on this team with you.
Much Love,
Quatro
You say it perfectly.
The dangerous business of raising boys.
There it is.
lovelovelove and so happy to get to be a part of this with you:)
Sara Sophia
Let the games begin, eh? ;)
So happy to share this space with you too, sweet friend!
Lisa Jo,
These are so great!! I especially can relate to the phrase “kick off your fatigues”! I now know where the phrase “your mama wears combat boots” comes from!!!
LOL
Hugs to ya!
Tara
Indeed!!
Oh, girl, this post had me rollin’! My boy is only 18 months old, but I’m already getting glimpses into the craziness of being in the MOB club! And I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Me either! Not one crazy, loud, chaotic second of it!
love it!! Can’t wait to see the blogs as they get older.
Laughing out loud, at work, over the underpants.
It was totally their idea too. I am now always finding pants with tape all over them that were turned into masks!
I just. Um. Hmmm…
Can’t even imagine.
I’ll leave the boyz patrol to you :)
Some days I can hardly imagine myself!!
wow! there are more of us (mobsters) than I realized! I have my own boymob (5 boys)
and then was blessed with a princess (#6..but don;t think those crazy boys haven’t already influenced her! ) and she is loved by those boys! Moms who have boys are strong people with enough material for a 1 year stand comedy tour! Don’t think I don’t feel the need to take my act on the road at times! Great blog! Love it! I have always referred to my 5 boys as my Boymob….I love knowing there are more mobsters surviving! bless you!
