being a boys mommy...

today was a beautiful, crisp, sunny day. i sat outside and read my bible and did my Esther study (by beth moore). when i was done, i put my bible and book on the kitchen table. a little later, i came back into the kitchen, and for some reason, this struck me as so funny that i laughed out loud.


i don't know what it was, but it reminded me of how fun it is to be a boys mommy. i'm sure that i have seen things that were a little more humorous than this, and things a little grosser, but it just cracked me up. you know like when you are digging in your purse to find your phone (that is not in the little side pouch built specifically FOR your phone, because apparently you did not have the 2.3 extra seconds to put it there!) and you find peanut butter and cracker packages, goldfish...not in a package anymore, matchbox cars and everything else imaginable?!?! it just reminds you that you that you are a mommy through and through. don't you love it? look around your house, i'm sure you will find some funny combinations...like esther and a gun! :)

  1. being a mommy of boys is VERY fun! I always laugh at my friends who only have girls when they watch my boys play. . . they almost have a heart attack when my boys are climbing some big tree and I'm standing there thinking, "um, they're really o.k. . . . you should see what they've done before!" LOL

    Thanks for commenting on my blog. It is a really awesome adventure!

  2. great post and great comment from the other Jen...i laugh at my girl-mommy-friends,too, when they cringe at the activity level over here!
    Love the gun on the Esther study. I've smiled before at the "army guys" laying on the bathroom counter or going up the stairs...or little boys dirty socks that were peeled off and left in various spots.
    I love being a boys Mommy, too, can't imagine anything else.

  3. Shell, I think you need to send that post in to Beth Moore. She would love to hear something like that! :)

  4. A little bit late, but my favorite is pulling socks out of my jacket pocket when I'm looking for gloves, and getting strange looks from people.

    Ruthie said I should check out your blog, so I poked around a little tonight.
