Life's Little Surprises

I've heard it said, "Trouble follows him wherever he goes."  
For me it is true.
Trouble LITERALLY follows me wherever I go.




But, it doesn't just follow me.

It also goes before me,



along side me,



you name it...trouble is all around me.

Living with a pack of trouble boys is the most interesting thing.


The other day I got into my husbands car & found unwrapped tampons in his cup holder, 
just the cotton parts, 
"Hmmm...I'm not sure I want to know."
He replied, "Oh it's a good one,
the boys were shoving them up their noses,
they were telling me these are nose cleaners." 

And yesterday when I told the boys to vacuum up their mess,
 they walked right past my vacuum and hauled 
this baby in from the garage.  


Life is full of little surprises.

When I got home the other day I had to burst out laughing...
...my husband was patching the walls to paint:



but hey...it got me a much needed makeover...



Now if I could just get them to break my entry way light.  
(I'm actually not kidding)


Then, last week my washer was not spinning out.  I had to manually turn it to spin & drain after each load.  We started looking at new washers.  At the end of the week one night I told the kids, "Go put your shoes on."  I got to the back door & there was Bo...standing in my washer!  You can imagine I was not very happy.  The boy is too old to be doing stuff like that.  But you know....after that my washer worked, he fixed it!!!   Sometimes their shenanigans come in handy.  I almost put him back in it to take a picture!  But I didn't think it would be good to encourage him.


These little surprises are what just one little week of my life is like.

It'll sure be interesting to see what this babe I'm carrying is.
I just realized I might have 5 sons 7 & under...
...I'm not gonna lie....little freaky :)
