Dirt

The "dirt shirt" has long been a favorite article of clothing in our house. BooBear has the only remaining one. Apparently he took it literally today......
The most annoying part is that my last load of darks was already in the washer. Another load for another day.

Happy Easter!



Many hands ....

I have been reading a great book about youth entitlement and was struck by how much I do for our boys. Mainly it is faster and easier for me to just do things around the house. Often, I don't want to listen to the complaints. But I realized I am doing them, future roommates and future wives a huge disservice.
Here we go ....
Together we tackled the upstairs. BigBoy helped the younger two make the beds. He then picked up toys (Legos) and vacuumed. Curly picked up his room then cleaned both bathrooms. BooBear was on clean floor duty. We all put away laundry.

Here's the kicker.... They did it with happy hearts and practically beamed when I bragged on their great work and good attitudes to daddy. They also earned some screen time. Wins all around!!!

Merry Christmas

Waiting patiently for little brothers to wake up. They are sleeping much later than normal AND there is a loud thunderstorm happening outside. How are they still sleeping??? :)

Merry Christmas!
Love, BigBoy, Curly and BooBear

Curly

This morning, Curly asked me if when he's 6, if his hair won't be curly anymore. When I told him that his hair would always be curly, he cried. He doesn't want curly hair any more. Break my curly-hair loving' heart.

His hair is beautiful. We're talking great ringlets. Great natural highlights.

He's the only one of our boys that has curly hair. My curly hair. I remember hating my hair as a kid. I'll be honest.... Last week I hated my hair in the humidity.

I knew this day would come. I didn't expect it from our barely-5-year old.

Break my momma heart!!!

Building

We are building a new house. It has been such a long time coming, but things are going and progress is finally happening. Some proof.....
