Reality with Four Sons

As you know I have four boys in this house plus a husband. Let me tell you one thing that comes with this territory is a mess! They do help clean on what I call ‘cleaning days’ but of course they are boys so their idea of clean and mine can be much different. They lack organization skills and my little guy likes to get every single toy out and then not play with them. But it is what it is, right. This is the phase of life we are in right now.

These boys are constantly eating and constantly moving. Therefore, I am constantly cooking and following behind them picking things up. Like socks, for some reason every single one them takes their socks off at any random moment and leaves them where they lay. For example the garage, yard, basement, my bedroom, the couch, they have been located every where and occasionally they actually put them in their hamper… I think, or maybe I just move them there…

Even though I like a neat and clean home, that’s hardly the case right now, and that is okay! What’s important right now is loving them, spending time with them and creating happy memories with them. I am well aware at how fast these days fly bye! Next thing I know I will be waking up to an empty house as my boys are sent off to college, buying their own homes and living their own lives and dreams. I want to make certain that when they come back to visit we talk and laugh about the remember when’s. When this house was always a mess, never calm and very loud.

So at times when the house is a mess and things are in commotion, take a break and enjoy the kids and cherish those ever lasting memories, because one day the house will be clean and I will miss my full and messy house days!

With Love,
