As I sat down, Anjeny's 4 boys came and sat in our row- happy to greet our new son.
I looked down the row and had a small panic attack. Just a glimpse of what life with 4 boys REALLY means.
I turned to my husband and whispered, "We don't just have 4 boys... we have 8." He looked at me and didn't get it.
But I knew- our house will never just hold 4 boys. If each of my sons invites a friend over- we have 8 boys with us. The road from 4-8 happened so fast! And it really has been that way.
When our family was younger, my first two boys... played together so well. Then as the oldest got older... #2 and #3 played well and #1 would invite a friend. Well now.. it's all about bringing a friend along- so no one feels left out.
Just a gentle warning to those mom's thinking about trying "one more time" for a girl.
Not that I regret in any way...
but
yeah...
8 BOYS
On a side note no one is happier tonight than me.
The kids were back in school and I was able to get a handle on the house today! It has been grand central station these last few weeks with 8 - 12 kids in my house at any given moment.
It was nice to just kick around with son #4 and get some chores done. ( without listening to Rock Band.)
( Like cleaning the dust off the ceiling fan! Talk about gross!)

I think I would take 8 boys over 8 girls, anyday.
Hillarious! My heart goes out to you sister! Read my blog and you'll understand!
ceiling fan dust amazes me... how does it cling so well to something that is spinning around constantly?
"fratsub"... is that like the FHE groups at BYU...
I am always so glad when the kids go back to school. I love the peace and quiet it brings!
Why is it I only notice the ceiling fan dust when I have guests, and we notice it simultaneously?
Boys are so much fun! Although today it feels like I have a girl! Stinkin hormones!!!
