IT NEVER - EVER STOPS !!

 

During chores- meals- church- and sleep……

              BOYS WILL BE BOYS!

When all the kids are lined up wanting to show me “something” …..I make sure I bring the camera !

While I play along …….. I snap pictures too

“ Whatever do you mean ?  It is just a garbage can "

“OH MY WORD !!! …….IT”S MOVING !!! “

IS IT A GOAT ?! A CAT  ?! NO !!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is MR. KINDERGARTEN  !

OH brother !!

As in  which brother put you up to this !?

Maybe the biggest ?

At our house because of the huge audience that lines up to watch these pranks unfold… they are becoming a regular part of our days ….

YEP those boys sure keep me on my toes  !!

 

God knew I needed all these boys to get all of that ridiculous perfectionism out of me  ….I have come soo far ……and still have far to go…..

AND HE still got stripped and Purelled from head to toe !

Our LOVELY Little Lady !!

 

IT WAS ………

a glorious afternoon…. the sun was FINALLY shining and out came the hose to water the plants….and the kids:)

{ Why go to the beach when you can make your own! }

 

The end result !

 

 

Mr. Funny decided to have his shower outside

{ and I was hiding behind the post getting pictures}

 

Can you see the wet mud water running down the wall ?! Yep …ahhh BOYS they sure help us keep the house clean ! :)

 

Mike and I had a great laugh about it as we followed the slop trail of muddy water along the walls …

I came back with cloth and bucket { and my camera in hand }  to find my little lady doing THIS !! …without being asked by anyone !!!

 

She had mopped the whole entrance to surprise us!!

I had come to get pics of the muddy floor -that was no more!

 

What a little blessing she {& her servants heart} is to her Mommy and her Daddy !

Who new !

AT  6 1/2 she has learnt to use a mop  JUST  by watching her big Brother, big Sister, and her Mom…BUT she is also learning how to be a blessing to others:)

~ FANTASTIC !!

AND here HE is again !!!

 

With fresh puffy nap eyes and all :)

 

The twins are obsessed with roller blades ~ they put their little hot wheels in one each and  push the roller blade around like a big bus.

That morphed into figuring out they go on your feet, and hopping around with one on each of  their feet……Until this day !

“Mr. Photo op kid”  figured out how to put both of them on!

 

I was hanging clothes up on the line and I hear this desperate “HELP” …the big kids were inside doing school so I knew it was one of the trips up from their nap.

I go running over to answer “the cry for help”  and find ..

 

 

THIS!

 

 

NOW before you think of me as the WORST mother in the world for taking this picture >>>>>let me explain !!

 

I got him off the post he was hanging on to like a wet cat and had him back sitting safe on the ground  *BEFORE* I went in to grab my camera.

He is in his “FANCY PANTS ” as  we call em’ - they wear at nap time { just incase }

To this day the twins have both had one roller blade each BUT this guy, woke before his twin and being the smart boy that he is- he put both on and got to the white post :)

 

AS  I was running in to get my camera the determined little guy decided not to wait for me and as I walked out the door he was in full attempt at number two try to get back up !….and I got the most hilarious pictures of him doing it !!

{ which is where all the pics above come from too –

*** see- ~good mommy ! }

 

The second round sequence went like this as I tippy- toed in behind him…..

 

 

 

OH he saw me !!

 

What a kid …waving at me for a perfect photo op again !

That Mr. Funny ~He is such a gift ! 

 

 

        I  am ALWAYS saying to Mike …..

{especially b/c I have just had another birthday and  “my clock” is a ticking- which is why I stopped counting how old I turn back at 30 } 

 

“ What IF ?!” ….you had gotten  “that” operation before God could give them to us !!

 

Neither of us can imagine life without our icing and cherry on the top “twin-i-gans” { as we call them } - they really are SUCH a blessing.

Our family has litterally been turned down an ENTIRELY different path as a result of having to figure out how to     “ do it all  “  and- in so many wonderful ways~ WE Abbeys are ALL better people as a result of God giving those little blessings to us -exactly when HE did.

 

SO ---we do ask ourselves why we are resisting more of these precious gifts ….. obviously God knows what HE is doing in this area…..

My Photo OP Child

 

My  MR. FUNNY  was at it again !!

THIS is our foot washing bucket where we soak & scrub our feet  before we come in the house….I have a hunch this boy of mine will be good at thinking outside the box !
