Let me get that bug off of you.

"Really? really? come on." That is what I say hoping that maybe God can hear me right now. Maybe he could just give me a break just this once and make the boys all of a sudden ready to settle down and go to bed. I know it's still early for them but, no one told me that my three little boys goals right now would be to see who can hurt the others the most. I honestly wish that you could see them right at this moment. Yes telling you that they are acting like gorillas is only putting it lightly. Ten minutes ago the trailer for the new transformer movie came on. You can only guess what happened yes, right in front of me three boys turned into a transformer's and had a battle. Who would have guessed that I would get to vacuum not twice today but three times. I really hope that my couch will last until the new ones get here. Hopefully someday I won't have one on time out, or have one crying that the other two hurt him, and maybe I can go a day without them ruining something.

So Dougie has three days of school left. I bet you can tell I'm excited about that. I am already trying to figure out what adventures we can have this summer. Dougie is excited for summer but I do believe that he's going to miss his friends that he's made this year. In fact one little girl wouldn't let Dougie leave the other day until she gave him a hug. Apparently the story is that they where playing a battle ship game in gym and Dougie sunk everyone else ship but, the little girls. Ah cute my little boys is a hero.

Daxton, I never know where to begin when it comes to him. Lately he's got this thing where he hits. He hits everyone and when he gets into trouble for hitting he says "I was just getting that bug off you." I can honestly say I didn't teach him that one. Besides dusting everyone off for bugs, Daxton will be having his fourth birthday this week. Man he's getting bigger and coming up with more and more. Never a dull moment with him around.

Connor has taken on the role of the family dog. Apparently since we don't have a dog the boys have decided that Connor will fit that role nicely. Friday night I built the boys a tent/fort, that they could sleep in. Well they put a blanket in it and proclaimed it to be the dog's bed. Then they turned him lose and told me that they had to pay a fine because their dog got lose. Yes it went like that for hours that night, Connor running by barking, and Daxton and Dougie telling their dog to get in the tent. I finally had to put a stop to it when I realized that it was eleven thirty.

I would like to tell you that my plea might have been answered when Doug told them that they had to each get a book and settle down. However I would be lying if I told you that's exactly what happened. No, no the books weren't for reading. Silly me their just another weapon for them to use against each other. Great.

First cookout of the summer.

Paging Dr. Boobear.

Is there anything better than a slap to the face when your in the middle of sleeping? I'd like to think that maybe there is. It's only the middle of the week and I'm already wishing that hopefully next week will be a better one. Monday we learned that the couches that we've had to order not once but twice were not ordered. Apparently it's our bad because we expected too much like maybe someone doing their actual job they are being paid to do. hmm I don't sound mad do I? Any way after getting our money back from that forage, we started the process over on looking for new couches. Let me just say it's not my favorite pass time dragging little boys with tons amount of energy through furniture stores. However we have found some other couches we like and are taking the chance that this other company will be able to do their job.

So after spending last week with a messed up neck causing me headaches, Daxton AKA Dr. Boobear, has proclaimed me fixed. Even though my neck is a little sore still, I'm going to have to agree with him. It's that or spend my time having him treating me. Let me just say that's not an enjoyable experience. Not that I don't mind having the little kiss to the cheek. It's the pulling of the hair, the pokes to the eyes, the jumping on my stomach, the yelling in the ear. I could go on but I'm not. I know that I should have set him straight after the first day when he informed me that he was indeed Dr. Boobear. I do have to admit that he did good getting me the cold wash cloths to the head, maybe not so much when he would squeeze the water all over my face but, still it's the thought that counts.

Dougie's school year is starting to wined down. I think he has enjoyed it. I know that he's learned more from the other kids in his class on "how to torture your younger siblings." He's also come to the point where he figures that he knows so much that he needs to tell me how life is. Hmm can anyone one say early case of preteens?

Connor has really grown. One thing I have noticed is that he actually talks pretty clear and says more than the kids around his age that we've been around. Connor some days he talks better than his own brothers. He's gotten so big that he almost had the neighbor's mother crying over him getting so big, when she saw him yesterday. It's sad but I knew these days would come when my baby wasn't going to be such a little baby anymore. All I can say is thanks to these three I'm totally baby cured.

I will admit to the fact that I am in a very good mood today and that is thanks to getting some sleep and drinking a monster. It's almost scary, I know Doug doesn't know what to think.. Maybe sleep is a good thing.

Ambitions for the future.

I love the fact that from day to day, I will never know what to expect to from my three boys. Each morning they bring something new to the plate. It has made me realize that not everything needs to be stress, and that a good dose of laughter is better than anything.

This week the boys have decided to think about their futures. Personally I believe that they have a few years to think about what they want to grow up and become. However I have been quit entertained listening to them tell me what they are going to be. I even like the fact that it changes from different things.

Dougie is always telling me that he's going to be a firefighter, this week he's changed his mind. He's going to be a super villain. I know just what every mother wants to hear. Who knows maybe next week he'll be back to the firefighting thing.

Daxton, well I don't even know where to begin with him he's changed his mind so many times. My favorite two this week is one that he's planning on being a professional camper. Yes you heard me a camper.. Hm don't really know what to think about that, at least it will be a grand adventure. The second thing is that he thought about being a wizard. I caught him with a cape and a spoon (which he was using for a wand) and a cup of cold water. He told me that Connor (who happened to be also in a cape but with goggles) was his assistant and he was "making cold potion." Apparently it had something to do with coyettes. To be honest I didn't try to get any further into that with him.

Connor I am believing might turn out to be like his father and fly airplanes. He's always talking about airplanes and helicopters. I know they all love the airplanes. However he's always watching the skies, and carrying a toy airplane. Some nights he falls asleep hugging the Dinco toy helicopter.

I have been really busy with the boys lately. I actually believed that by now I might have a moment to relax. No they fight more, and fight a little more. Oh yeah then they fight again. Yes we have hit that stage where they get banned from playing with each other. I can only say that is what happens with three very strong minded boys.
