Living with Boys

The top 10 things I have learned living with boys

1. There are three volumes...loud, louder, and loudest.  And the further into the day you get, the louder the noise level gets.  There is no use fighting the noise level. 
2. They make messes everywhere they go...on their hands, on their faces, on the floor in every room of the house
3. There is dirt in places I didn't even know existed. 
4. In the bathroom, there is pee in places that I don't even want to think about how it got there
5. They go from 0-60 mph in 2 seconds flat and they need LOTS of room to run and jump and climb and explore and even still they will NEVER get all their energy out
6.  They eat A LOT.  I think for most of their lives I did not feed my boys enough.  I just had no idea until I realized that the first thing out of their mouths in the morning was not "Good morning, mommy"  or even "Let's go play!" but "Can we eat breakfast now?"
7. BUT they love their mommy
8. And they give real hugs. the kind that make the world a better place and they always seem to know when their mommy needs one
9. They crave love and attention and boundaries

10. And lastly out the their mouths come the sweetest words you will ever here...."mommy, will you be my best friend, forever."

I love my boys!!
