What To Expect When Coming To Our Boy Filled Home

One of the reasons Joel and I have worked so hard on fixing up our home is that we love having people over. We love hosting Indian dinners with our friends and welcoming new people in.However, I’m always quickly reminded how crazy our family is. We all have a little crazy in our family, but let me tell you... I have three boys under 7 years old. Crazy doesn’t begin to cover it.When people come over I feel like I need to warn them. Especially if they "A" don’t have kids or "B" only have girls. They need to be ready for it all because things will get crazy and you’ll never want to leave.

our life with boys

If you come over to our house be ready for.....

A full on Nerf gun battle.

You better be able to hold your own because they can smell weakness. You also have to have eyes in the back of your head so you can see when they switch out the nice nerf bullets for sharp and hard items. True story.

The kids to take it to far.

If you give in and play with our kids be ready for them to take it to far or never want to stop. You’re working them up so you better expect it! Be the boss and find your voice when you’re done.

Non stop snacking.

Little boys are never full. They snack all day long and it only gets worse as they get bigger. Even if you come to our house for dinner, you're going to see our kids eat fist, second, and third dinner. All little boys have an inner hobbit that they have to feed.

Huge imaginations.

There isn't anything like a little boy's imagination. It's never ending and it can take you to places you never imagined. You will get to see our kids turning their forks into planes, their bedrooms into lava filled caves, and the couch into a boat that's taking them to safety. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

A lot of noise.

It’s never quiet in our home. Our kids have one voice inside and outside. We remind them about five dozen times a day but even their whispers are freaking loud. If it does get quiet you better run because they’re getting into something!

Bathroom mysteries.

Okay, it's not really a mystery. Boys simply don't flush. It doesn't matter that I've asked them hundreds of times. It doesn't matter that it's disgusting. They're simply in such a hurry that they "don't have time" to flush the toilet when they're finished using it.

Best friends.

Our kids don’t just like having people over. They love it. If you play your cards right you’ll become auntie and uncle status before you know it and they’ll become your little buddy. They’ll have your back forever and never forget all the times you played with them.

To sum it up, you will never get bored when you come to our house...
