The boys have been home...
a lot...
Which I love!
Usually!
I love seeing them and talking to them!
I love all the giggling from the little kids!
I love all the smiles, the happiness and the bonding that goes on between bigs and littles!
BUT often things can get a bit too loud and a bit too crazy and then I have to break it up...
That's not my favorite part...
I banish the big boys to the basement and the littles to the fresh air outside!
But somehow they find each other again!
Soon college will start- that works for me!
He's not going far away!
Grad school will start! Jobs will start!
Research projects will start and they will be BUSY ;-)
I know I should just enjoy this special time ;- /
We have had to set some guidelines in the house.
cuz the bigs can be sillier than the littles!
I like routine, schedule, predictability, known expectations and feelings of success!
I know I may be asking for way too much...
That sounds like expectations for a much much smaller family!
Oops!
Above is chaos and mayhem...
Below is peace and joy...
Although I am not pickin favorites in this house IF I were to...
well, I'll just stop there!
Look very closely!
There is a stowaway in back of the seats!
Welcome to my life!
