Our home is overflowing with boys! 7 boys 11 years and younger to be exact! Yes, we have 4 girls but my boys are leaving their mark/marks all over! I say and do some things during the day that when I sit down at night I CANNOT believe I have done and said! Here are a few:
- "NO!!! PLEASE stop throwing your wet pull-up against the dresser! Now go pick up all the pieces!"
- Speaking of pull-ups, it is NOT fun to cleaning up the contents of them after they have gone through the wash cycle in the washing machine!
- "Why do you have your brother's pants down?"
- Speaking of pants down, I have now changed a diaper in every place imaginable! From the living room floor to a car floor and I have even changed one while they are sitting up in a stroller! (Although I don't recommend it!)
- While we are on that subject, I NEVER understand why I don't just wash a pair of boy's underwear when I am in doubt if they are dirty! Smelling them first is just not the best idea!
- "NO you cannot ride on that dog!"
- "Get your feet out of your baby's sister's face! She does NOT want to kiss your toes!"
- Speaking of toes, I will never figure out how we are always looking for a "pair" of shoes as we are racing out the door and usually the match is not even located in the home when it is found! It's usually outside, in the car, a mud puddle or possibly hanging on the basketball rim!
- "No, I don't know what will happen if you throw that spaghetti noodle up to the ceiling fan! No, I don't WANT to know! Yes, you might think it would be fun but I don't!"
- It is always a mystery to me how a boy can be in a shower for a VERY long time and get out with knees, ankles and face still caked with dirt!
- Speaking of showering, how is it that I can shower for months, possibly years, and the shower curtain NEVER falls down, but when 2 brother's are in together, the curtain falls EVERY time!
- There are times when I have bought a brand new bottle of shampoo only to find it totally empty the next day with a HUGE soap scum ring up to the top of the tub! Gives a new meaning to bubble bath!
- I have picked up the bar of soap at the bottom of the tub and start to soap off only to realize that it was COVERED in sand!! Good for exfoliating I guess!
- "It is not kind to tell that man that his hair is messed up and a good thing he does not have much!"
- "We DO NOT hold each other down until they scream! Why? Because it is just not nice!"
- I am soooo thankful I do have 7 boys around! We have on occasion, bats in our house and they are ALWAYS willing to slay them for me with a tennis racket! For that I am VERY thankful!
- "Why is there underwear in the ceiling light?"
- "Get off the garage roof and get that ladder back NOW!!!"
