You might be a mom of many boys if......

It's been awhile so thought it was time for another one of these posts!


You might be a mom of many boys if.....


*You've heard yourself say, "Stop throwing brothers around."


*All of your boys are able to quote your 4 reasons for killing a creature.

"1.  You plan to eat it.

  2.  Your life (or someone you love) is in danger.

  3.  You are putting a creature out of its misery.

  4.  The creature is a pest.  (This one is open for interpretation.)"

*You were chosen by church cadet leaders to sample a new product for attaching badges.

*A relatively peaceful meal was interrupted by a possum walking by the window.  This then created a gladiator arena type atmosphere involving the 16 year old with a pellet gun, cheers and cameras!  (In case you are wondering see point #4 from above.  We are a farm, and possum's droppings turn poisonous on our hay which we need to sell to horse farmers.  Besides the fact that possums are SO ugly, we think this is a good reason to consider them pests!)

*You recently witnessed the 16 year old and friend discuss various cooking techniques of how to prepare the squirrel they hunted.  (See point #1 from above).   And no.  I did NOT try it.

*The two year old still talks about "Mouse dead! Mouse dead!"

*You have TWO boys planning to go to the international Camporee for cadets in Calgary.  (Ok...it helps that they are twins.  And all donations accepted.  :)

*The dentist asks you how the boy sitting in his chair got the small chip in his tooth.  You answer that you have no idea!  (And how could you possibly keep track of each "minor" injury in your house.)

*You are working at the church with another "MoMB" (mom of many boys), when a cadet counsellor (that has two small daugthers) comes is shaking his head at how quickly his bowl of popcorn vanished!  You and your friend only laugh (as moms of 11 sons combined)!!!


*Everyone is the house smiles when the term "happy, happy, happy" is used.


*Christmas presents included such things as a punching bag, nerf paraphernalia, and 3 seasons of Duck Dynasty.


*Nearly every time you empty the dryer some type of ammunition is left at the bottom.

Now.....saying all that we thoroughly enjoy all of the fun and adventure that God gave us with these six sons of ours.

ALSO we love that God gave us a lovely daughter to somewhat balance the amount of testosterone around here.  She is helpful, beautiful, creative and a wonderful part of our family!
