out numbered.

we do a lot of boy things in this household.

each morning we wake up to a shower where dump trucks and cars fill the shower floor. they all stumble in the steamy bathroom and head right to the shower drain and go pee pee. they think the drain is so much better than the toilet that is 3 feet away.

after breakfast the boys race off on their bikes in search of giant centipede worms. they find the worms, hold the worms, throw the worms (at each other), run over the worms, put the worms on their shirts, carry the worms...you get the idea. this goes all for a good portion of our day. then they usually find a hose, turn it on and start a water/mud fight. after things get out of control, i intervene and they track their little muddy feet back into the shower. this time with dinosours and bubbles.

at some point during the day they will find a pack of little monkeys and sit a watch them. today henry went into the kitchen, got a banana and threw it to a monkey. within minutes we had a whole pack of little monkeys on our porch eating bananas. our backyard has so many monkeys! they will also gather leafs and feed the goats. because goats like leaves.

somehow after dinner but before bedtime is when they have the most energy, it gets a little nuts. this is usually when they wrestle with a little bit of hide n seek in the mix as well. during family scripture study is when they quietly play cars. ahem.

during their scriptures, they always insist that we read something that has swords, animals or boats in the story. scattered throughout days are 568 underwear changes, chocolate milks, carrot swords, car/animal books, bike rides, snuggles, laughs and if we are lucky... one nap ;)
