we've been taken over....

....by boy stuff!

these little creatures find themselves in the most unusual spots......my favorite is under your foot in the middle of the dark night....ugh!

as i looked around my living room yesterday afternoon i couldn't help but snap these pictures....it is such tale through photography of all things boy.....from army men to dinosaurs, monster trucks, footballs, sippy cups, tools and more....i didn't even touch on the vast array of tonka trucks, matchbox cars, all things *Thomas* and the other 50 million treasures that fill his room....

give a girl a baby doll & dress up clothes and she will be happy for hours....boys need things....lots & lots of little things....they must erect it, fix it, admire it, tear it down & then do it all again....boy things must make noise and if for some reason they don't come with their own battery operated squeals, squeaks & vrooms ~ never fear, for boys will impromptu with their own vivacious sounds....usually better than the toy company could have ever imagined anyway! this also leads me to another profound thought that i am sure you have all heard before.....the only difference between men & boys is the price of their toys!.....such truth....


and as you see below.....sweet baby girl loves get thrown to the back....only to make room for home depot to inundate our home with enough *fix-ems* to make an amateur handyman look weak....ahhhh, the toils & tribulations of a boy....


one of the biggest joys though about these boys is their passion......grant has the same boisterous passion with his toys, tackling his daddy & being wide open as he does with loving me, cuddling us up & loving us unconditionally......and that my friends makes all those *things* above so less important.....as mad as i get & as WORN out as i become, it all gets washed away when he hugs me tight, plants a big kiss on my cheek & says in his precious voice ~ "i love you mom!"
