You Never Know

Getting the boys out of the shower this morning it occurred to me as I watched my 2 precious little boys parade around the house with their "capes" on. My little girls never made a big deal (standing screaming, stomping, refusing to move) until I put their "cape" on. It really kills me when they start freaking out, I turn and look to see what body part has been pulled off by his brother and all that has happened.....his "hood" fell off!
I so remember the days when the girls were little (well Ramie still is) and they would just be happy with a pair of my shoes. Cecilia used to be my make up buddy I had an old blush brush that I would give her and she would put her make up on to.
I always heard boys were easier.......but I aint so sure about that lol. Right now as I am typing this my boys are trying to shoot each other with the vacuum cleaner hose. Kids do make life exciting, just a few minutes ago as I was sitting here I heard the boys talking (they have their own twin communication we call it) so I got up to see what was going on. As Kamryn left for school I guess she didn't fully shut the front door. Turner being the daring one ran outside (naked) and was standing outside the door, Taylor was on the inside. As he turns and sees me coming he joins his brother outside and they both take a mad dash towards the driveway, to make matters worse I look at the house across the street, yes, the woman who lives there is standing with her front door open just dieing laughing. So I continue to chase the streakers they are now headed to the side of the house, I look up......you know it...... my neighbors who have had family visiting all week are ALL standing in the driveway watching the demise of my existence on this post. Finally I just picked them up and brought them in. I am telling you, girls would think more of them selves even at the age of 2 than to run outside naked in front of a neighborhood of people embarrassing there mother. I think LOL
So this post started out as the difference between boys and girls and just shifted. But you never know what is gonna happen and that is what is great about being a mommy, a wife, a cook, a maid, a nurse, and all the other many hats that us woman wear. I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Waking up is Hard to do

So As I go along in this journey of raising kids I think I have seen it all. Then something happens that just completely catches me off guard or cracks me up.
I couldn't sleep well last night. I  heard Jeff's alarm going off at 5am and them him never getting up. So at 5:30 I got him up and off. He usually sets an alarm for me to wake Kamryn up at 7am I told him there was no need this morning I just couldn't sleep. Seven O'clock rolls around, I wake Kamryn up, go lay back down, and as I am laying there this overwhelming feeling of "being watched" comes over me. I open my eyes and both boys are standing over me (one on each side). They stood there for a second staring at me then Turner grabs the left tab of his diaper and jerks it open like pulling a gun out of a holster, then shakes his leg to get his diaper off. He has no emotion on his face he doesn't take his eyes off me at all! I then look at Taylor he does the same exact thing, grabbing the left tab of diaper and jerking it open as if to open fire on me to finish his brothers job, then shaking his leg to get the diaper off like there....done! I thought I was finished! Kamryn was in the shower by this time and Turner had ran to get in with her. Taylor and I were laying there in the bed snuggling I had covered him up and squeeeeezed him tight.....a little to tight I guess because he squeezed out a fart, of  course them being boys he laughed then pulled back the covers spread his legs put his finger down there then looked at it. I guess he thought he did more than fart! After that I WAS done! Once again it never seems to amaze me what amazes me LOL
