Surrounded by Boys!

These are tales from a mom who is surrounded by boys everyday. My name is Marie, a WAHM (work-at-home mom) to three boys, ages 5, 3, and 6 months. It seemed like it was only yesterday when I went in for my 20 week sonogram with Boy #3 and heard those words again...."It's ANOTHER boy....(notice no exclamation mark from technician)."

If I could get a dollar for every time someone says, "WOW! All boys??!! Good luck!!" or "Wow!! You must have your hands full!!" to me I'd probably me a millionaire right now and don't feel the need to blog. LOL.

Needless to say, I am very blessed to have 3 healthy beautiful boys. Yes, they are active. Yes, can drive me nuts. Yes, they (Boy #1 and #2) fight a lot. Yes, when they fight they are physical. But....

....my boys are very affectionate, giving me lots of hugs and kisses everyday. They surprise me with dandelions and draw me pictures. They behave like little gentlemen when we're at someone else's house. They help me load and unload groceries. They help me with their baby brother. They give me big hugs after I scold them and then move on (no grudges). They love to cuddle.

So I wanted to share some tales about raising boys.....the joys, triumphs, tears, frustrations, confusion, desperation, exasperation, exhaustion....and most importantly, show that having all boys at home is....well, not so bad.....
