You know you are a Mom of 5 boys when....con't

.......while playing the game Zoo Tycoon where the objective is to make the zoo animals and those visiting the zoo happy, my kids take part of the fence for the lions away and laugh hysterically while the lions eat everyone. ( Do I need to pray harder for my kids?)

......... 3 entire boxes of cereal are considered one breakfast for the gang. Any wonder why nothing gets bought unless it is on sale, I have a coupon and it is double coupon day.


......... a typical visit to Sam's consists of one flat bed full and one shopping cart full of food. On the ride home all the boxes fall on the kids heads and we get to hear them complain all the way home. It is a fun experience!

......... finding a dead critter on the farm fascinates them and they will take any chance they get to gawk and it and usually poke it with sticks.

....... At the end of the day they always smell like they found something dead and were poking sticks at it.


........ Showers and bathes at the end of the day are a necessity!


........Any game, no matter what it is, ends up as a full contact sport. Riding bikes turns into bumper cars or see who can chase down the kids without a bike the fastest. A matching game turns into an all-out war with cards flying. We don't let them play twister anymore ;)

....... Life is never dull and as the Mom I usually get treated like a queen.

........The time-out chair is the most used chair in the house (except maybe the throne)


........ No one(except Mom) can ever find anything. I can give out precise, detailed directions, but it is nowhere to be found. It just amazingly appears when I go to look for it. It is funny how that works.


........ At bath-time you don't know what is suntan and what is dirt.

.........Life is good and full of energy and laughter.

Been there, done that! All of it!!
Only difference is I had 3 instead of 5. I can't imagine what might have happened if I had had 5. I do have 4 grandsons and that 1 grandaughter who no doubt will be able to hold her own with all those boys! (She better be able to, that is)
I think you are amazing and I just love all your kids! You do an amazing job!
Love you!

Boys will be boys they say. I am glad I have a girl-lol. She is somewhat of a tomboy as I was growing up. She holds her own with just about everyone-is that a good thing at times-lol. I enjoy your blog. You are an amazing lady. Traci H.
