being a mom to boys means...

that the slide will inevitably end up upside down or on it's side and used improperly.

{a}


that i will find random things all day...such as a cut hose with sewing pins sticking out of it, on the kitchen island.

{a}



that quiet will sometimes mean that you walk into a room and find a boy sitting on the table playing with pez dispensers {which were, curiously, put up very high?}.  because apparently the table is the only suitable place for pez play.


{t}

that the butterfly habitat is now home to an assortment of...bees.

{a}


that shoes are spread hither and yon.
no matter how much nagging they have been subjected to.

{a}


that cleaned out pockets will mean bullets, a carved soapstone, grass, a hair band {probably used for a rubberband}, and a football mouth guard will be placed on my hutch shelves.

{a}



that bar graphs are what the chalk is for.

{c}



all in a days work.
x three.
it means working from son up til son down for sure.
and i enjoy {most every}  minute of it.

blessings,
mandy
