You know you have 5 boys when............

.......At Wal-mart you get looks of pity from other Mother's.

......You have 2 boys in the cart, 2 hanging off of the cart and one trailing behind complaining about wanting to look at video games.

........There is more dirt and sand dumped on the bathroom floor than is left outside.

........ The dryer lint trap has more sand in it than lint.

........ There is no safe place to hide from the nerf and pellet wars. ( Not even the bathroom!)

......... Finding a kid tied to a chair is not an unusual find.

........ Brotherly love is shown more in a punch or kick than a hug or kiss.

........ Hosing a kid down, to remove the layers of dirt, before they can enter the house is pretty common.

......... having, bugs, toads, frogs, snakes and worms given to you as loving gifts throughout the day.

......... you have a vase of weeds on the kitchen table.

........ " Stop that, you're going to get hurt" gets repeated over and over.

....... You get showered with hugs and kisses

........You find the youngest peeing in the dirt to make "mud"

........ More to come, when time permits!
