I recently wrote something for a friend's friend's husband (got that?) . This guys wife is a writer and he is collecting letters from a variety of moms reflecting on motherhood. He's going to put them all in a book to give to his wife for Christmas! Anyways, this is one of the things I wrote for him. (They have all boys so I thought they may be able to relate to this!) My boys bring me so much joy and laughter! (oh yeah, and exhaustion too!) (I posted some older pics of the boys all together!)

As the dad of the boys mentioned...I vouch that she's telling the truth! It's funny how stuff that get's on your nerves at the moment (licking the rusty ball-hitch on my truck / running up to people & punching them / licking the banister on escalators / drawing on each other / seeing how far you can jump from the automan (sp?) to the couch / peeing on the floor / etc) can seem so funny when your wife writes about them! We have some hilarious kids...
I loved the Halloween pic. The boys were Batman & Superman last year, and I'm hoping they'll fit into their costumes again this year!
As for boys- they are full of energy and never stop! I'm amazed at the things they come up with. I love your blog!!
