Boys, Boys, Boys


Sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the boy paraphernalia in our house. It seems like it's all about trucks, tractors, transformers and pirates ALL THE TIME. Yesterday we cracked open their tool kits and they had so much fun together pretending to finish the basement.

I love having boys. I love their intensity. I love to see the joy they find in something like a tool kit. I can't imagine life without all that crazy boy stuff!

I'm so glad that there are people out there who really love having boys. Personally, they intimidate me. . . I think I'll stick to the girls. I honestly don't know what I'd do if we ever have a boy.

After all of our girl toys I welcome the cool boy suff. They look so cute with the tool belts. That is fun!!

I hear ya with all of the boy stuff, but you have it times 2! I agree that boys are the greatest. Having Maddie with her little attitude makes me realized how mellow Tag is. Don't get me wrong, he can still terrorize a place, but at least I don't have to deal with attitude! Do you feel the same about your little Lola? Maybe it is just me???

DITTO DITTO! Having boys is the greatest and I'm so glad I'm having another one for Austin! Girl stuff might be fun, and I'm sure it's a nice change after 2 rowdy, destructive boys, but man, I really don't want teenager girls and those moods, they start early! No thanks! :)

By the way, Austin has the same tool belt, he loves it and everytime Eric needs to fix something in the house, Austin is right there with him with his tools doing the same thing!

Unlike you, Mandy, and Christina, we are just getting "BOY" stuff around our house, it is kind of a nice change.... However, you can mostly find Keaton playing kitchen or dollhouse, by playing I mean tearing everthing apart. I am learning about the intensity too, Yes boys are great, but I love having a girl to balance it all out!!

The thing that worries me about having a boy is that I don't know how to be a man. Right or wrong, I know what it takes to be a good woman and I know what I need to teach my girls. But boys! I have no idea!

OH how would it be? Boys seem fun, and your's are especially dear to my heart!! but for me it was never meant to be! All I will ever experience will be dolls, bows, drama and weddings times 4 for this girl. I'm OK with that, as long as your boys are willing to be married off to my girls..somehow we're destined to be related!!

They are so cute--and it looks like they are actually getting along in this picture! Maybe hammering walls in will be like extinguish--something destructive they can do together.
