You know you have boys when....


When you find yourself quoting Mrs. Brady from the Brady Bunch when she said "no throwing balls in the house". She knew what she was talking about.  A light fixture was broken thanks to a wondering ball.

When there are knobs missing from each dresser set.


You know you have boys when you have a huge gap that is missing ornaments on your Christmas tree.  Ornaments are better used as baseballs, soccer balls, and even bracelets (I'll let you figure out who likes the bracelets).  


When the underneath part of your ottoman is ripped from too much (un-allowed) jumping occurs.


When end tables are empty of picture frames, plants, or any sort of decor due to the fact that it would last about 5 seconds before it is knocked off or broken.


When there are so many scratches and peeled off paint on your walls, you give up trying to cover them up.


You know you have boys when it's not uncommon to have mud all over.


When kitchen utensils are used to build things not to actually cook.



You know you have boys and love them when they are last to make you smile at night and the first little people you want to see in the morning-mud and all!

Ahhhh. Good thing they're cute, huh?? My brother was just saying how quickly stuff gets messed up at their house with four kids, now ages 5 to 8. That was a very sweet ending thought. :)
