Life with Boys

Many times when I am out with my crew, I meet other women who stare in wonder. "I can't imagine what it's like living with all those boys!" Another comment I hear way too often is, "Oh, I feel soooooo sorry for you. It must be horrible to be outnumbered by all boys."

Please do not have pity for me. I love my life surrounded by boys. Don't misunderstand. I would have loved to have had a daughter, but that hasn't been God's plan for me. This is my life and I'm thankful for it.

For those of you who are curious what it's like, I'll give you a little sneak peek.

-My younger boys scream whenever their Daddy & I kiss.
-My older boys think I am way to strict when it comes to video game choices.
-They look forward to date night with Mommy:)
-They love to show me their latest Lego creations.
-They dig holes in my yard with shovels in order to plant the maple tree seedlings they found in the gutter.
-They sometimes decide to climb on the roof and chase each other (I guess they didn't think I'd hear the footsteps on the roof.)
-They like to see who can climb the highest in our pine tree.
-They play war for hours with the neighbor boys with very convincing dialogue.
-When they are hurt or sick, they always want me:)
-They are very low maintenence. You can fix their hair just by rubbing their head.
-They have all gone through an "I will marry Mommy" phase. One of them actually had a pretend ceremony for me in my Mom's bathroom.

How could you not enjoy a life like mine??? Feel free to add your boy stories in the comments. I'd love to hear them!
