The Joys of having all Boys

There are so many great things about having all boys. Let me share a a few of them with you.

1) We have enough trains and train tracks, cars, and trucks to fill a real truck. I get to have them spread out all over my floors constantly. Lots of toe stubbing and stepping on wheels going on at our house. Lots of "beep - beep, vroom - vroom, choo -choo, and
watch out buddy" going on. Why we feel like we need to clean it up every night I'm not sure, maybe it makes me feel like I have some control over all of the chaos. However, it's all (if not more of it) right back out on the floor the next morning! I know many of you can relate!

2.) We can all take a bath together and not have to worry about having any talks about "body parts" that aren't in the tub! For now at least.......! Lots of splashing and laughing going on in that tub.

3.) We get to read lovely gross books about bugs. We've been doing a page a night in this book. It's like an I Spy book sort of, but extremely difficult. Matt and I joke about our eyes going "buggy" with it. Connor loves these type of books.

4.) I have a house full of balls. HA - I just realized how funny that sounded, but is true! Connor and Jacob love bouncing around on these Spiderman bouncy balls. We have so many basketballs, footballs, baseballs, and balls from Gopher, we don't even know what to do with them all. Dolls? Princesses? What are they? I know what Spiderman, Dinosaurs, Batman, and Captain America are though!

These are some of the joys of having all boys! Gotta love it. I am already envisioning our life when the boys are older - the grocery bill, the loads of dirty and smelly laundry and uniforms, and the burping and everything else that comes with being around boys. ;)

Connor went on a field trip to the fire station on Friday for school. He was so excited about it. They've been talking about fires and tornadoes and Connor comes home all excited about it. He showed us how to "stop, drop, and roll" and told us how important it is to get outside. Thursday night he came out of bed because of the thunder and asked a million questions about tornadoes -if one was coming, if they were real, how we stay safe, and on and on.

Connor's newest joke: What is louder than a dinosaur? Two dinosaurs. He says he made it up himself, but who knows.
