Funny Story

I have to share a funny story.  And it's not really the story that's so funny, but the picture that was taken.    Now, I want you to imagine this before you see the picture.  Imagine in your mind that you're at our house.  It's about 9:00pm and the household is settling down for the night.  Easton is in bed fast asleep and Tyler and I are working on getting Christian and Charlie down for the night.  Christian and Charlie have been fed but they're still awake, laying in their bed trying to get themselves to sleep.  Picture in your mind that Tyler and I are trying to pick up the house a bit before we go to bed.  Tyler is writing out some bills, I'm putting toys away, washing bottles, wiping off counters, etc.  Christian and Charlie are very tired and I know they'll fall asleep soon, but they just can't seem to settle in.  There's a lot of grunting and groaning going on and Charlie is fussing on and off.  Tyler and I continue what we're doing, trying to let the boys do their own thing and get themselves to sleep.  All of a sudden, Charlie lets out a high pitched wail/scream and continues to cry.  I'm thinking he must not be able to settle in on his own tonight.   Picture in your mind what you think must be going on in that crib....

I know having 3 boys is going to be an adventure.  I know as they grow together there will be some arguments, some pushing, shoving and fights.  I know there will be tears but also laughter.  Between brotherly arguments I'm hoping they'll find time to be friends and have fun together.  I can already see these boys of mine are mischievous....all 3 of them.  But it's always the quiet one you need to keep a close eye on..........

When I went to see what was going on I couldn't help but laugh.  Yes, it's the quiet one you need to watch out for.  And doesn't Christian look much too pleased with himself?  That's because he not only stole Charlie's nuk, but the blanket on the other side of Christian...yes, that's Charlie's too.  Christian thought this was so funny and laughed as I gave Charlie back his nuk and blanket.
Silly boys.
