Life with Two Boys at Home




I still can't believe that in addition to being a mother to
three stunningly beautiful girls, 
I am also the mother of two very handsome boys!

What a blessed life!

This realization hit me the hardest when the school year started
and we saw the girls off to school. 
Then it was just me and the boys
looking at each other thinking, 

"Now what?"

Here's what I discovered:

Boys are very different then girls. 

Though I can't really explain how. 
It's not that they rough-house more-you should see our girls! 
Or that their personalities are different-
you should see the range in our daughters-it's like night & day. 

See.  Unexplainable.
 
Yet, very different. 

But, in a good way.

Like girls, however, they love being "helpers".

Where else is the process of unloading a dishwasher
a main event that causes you to drop what you're doing and come running?

More kisses than I ever expected.

Maybe it's the latin-blood in them,
but these boys love to smooch! 

Kisses are aplenty in this household,
and who could resist their outstreched arms and "mmmmm..."-ing?

In a nutshell,
life with two boys at home is...

Wonderful!

And the only thing that makes it even better,
is hearing the girls barreling down the hall after a full day at school,
and Samuel's keys jingling as he walks in the backdoor. 

That, is home.

Period.
