I Have Boys

At first, I was going to complain about what an awful Monday morning we had, but I've already complained to my mom and Kev so you all get the cliff notes version: 
it culminated in tears before 11am when I finally pulled the last string and yelled at Bennett for asking for again for the 18329748279347 time for a banana when I had already told him 1832979326 times that he could have one when we got home from the grocery store. 
I rarely truly yell so it scared the bageezus out of him and left him wailing, which in turn upset Wells and got him crying and then annoyed Cullen so he covered his ears and started screaming IT IS TOO LOUD IN HERE. 
And then I cried for the next 3 miles until we reached our house. 

Praying for patience and grace for the coming days.
 *****

So let's just end Monday and talk about 
Things I Never Expected to Say/Hear: I Have Boys Edition.

(Disclaimer: If you are terrified of having children, specifically a house full of boys, or are convinced that your future children 'would never do that', or don't like stories about poop, look away now. 
You've been warned.

But if you need a good laugh, then enjoy. 
And the pictures don't all match up with the quotes, some are just funny snaps from my phone.
Cullen is highlighted in green and Bennett in red)

Me: You cannot pee in the front yard.
Cullen: But we made a restroom so no one can see our bum-bums but us.

No picking your nose and eating it.

No picking your nose and trying to give it to the baby.

No picking your nose and wiping it on Mommy.

Me: Bennett, go upstairs and get dressed.
 {Bennett returns naked with a lacrosse helmet on}

Get that toy out of the baby's diaper....O STOP, out of your mouth!!

Me: Stop playing with your pee-pee 
Bennett: I'm not playing with it, just touching it a lot
Me: Undies on- now.

Do not burp in my face on purpose. 

Cullen: We squirted all your shampoo and your toothpaste into a bucket to do an experiment...is that okay?
You have to put clothes on before you go outside.

Bennett: At school, I was playing house with Natalie but then I eat dirt and she says bye.

Ehhh no pooping in the tub Wells!

Me: Separate toilets boys.
Cullen: But we are having a race to see how makes the most bubbles!

Get your helmet off the table and put pants on...we are having breakfast. 
Me: Don't lick Wells.
Bennett: But Frankie do's it. 
Me: Frankie is a dog, you are not.

Cullen: Mommy, I decided to wear undies today so I don't zip up my pee-pee like I did yesterday. 

B: What are you wearing Mommy?
Me: A dress. Do I look pretty?
B: Not really. 
 
Hockey stick or lacrosse stick, you can't bring both. Wait. We are going to the library, you can't bring either. 

Cullen: Mommy, maybe you should just look for my shoes before you go to bed so you don't have to get annoyed at me in the morning when I can't find them.

Me: You have to take a bath tonight.
Bennett: I smelled me and I'm not stinky.
Cullen: Bennett, we sweat so much today, but we could also just use our super soakers to get clean.

Never a dull moment around here my friends.
 Cheers to an easier Tuesday!

Are you sure Trenton and Cullen aren't Skyping behind our backs? Just a couple weeks ago Trenton squirted shampoo, toothpaste, and mouthwash into the bathtub to make a "bubble potion!" And ouch! Definitely wear undies, Cullen!

Erin said...

hahaha!! The restroom is amazing. Here's to a better tomorrow for you!

Katiern827 said...

It's official. I want to move in with you guys!

Jen said...

Haha oh man! What an adventure for sure.

Jessie said...

You're not the only one who loses it, mama! Motherhood is so hard sometimes. But these moments are priceless. I actually laughed out loud. How creative is their outhouse? Haha. I think I need to start writing more of this kind of stuff down too.

Kathryn said...

Rachel Ross said...

I LOVE THIS!! Never a dull moment at your house for sure!

Sheelah said...

These are fantastic. I laughed out loud many times :)

Meghan said...

Wow you're boys are hilarious! I love the outside bathroom they made! And Noah poops in the tub way more than any kid should! When you have boys you have to just laugh or else you'll go crazy huh?

Annette said...

Love it! This goes on in our house a lot too! Oh, it's the worst when little ones poop in the bathtub! I've survived three instances... Oh, and I'm glad I'm not the only one yelling directives to 'stop picking your nose and eating it.' Thanks for the laughs. Cheers!

This is my favorite yet! And maybe I'm crazy, but this kinda makes me hope I get to have sons someday even more… Maybe that's just the kind of crazy I'll need to be a boy mom. That and wine. Lots of wine. And trips to Austin to keep me sane ;)

Anonymous said...

HA! Boys are ridiculous! ;) Hopefully today is a better day.

Dee Stephens said...

Lots and lots and lots of vino!! ;-)

Stephanie said...

I love your posts like this! They are so cute and I'm sure a handful at times, but what fun (and funny) memories to look back on. Sorry your day started out rough, I hate days like that when my patience is gone and I end up yelling.

April said...

I love these kinds of posts! You will cherish them one day...well you probably already do. So neat to peak into life with 3 boys and with 2 of them talking. LOL

Shannon said...

I adore this series you do.

I have to say, though, Cullen does have a point, mom.

Cullen: Mommy, maybe you should just look for my shoes before you go to bed so you don't have to get annoyed at me in the morning when I can't find them.

Lauren said...

These definitely provided a great laugh...I love the fact that they recognize the need for undies to avoid zipping up their private parts! ha!

Heather said...

LOL! These are too funny. Sorry you had a rough Monday. I hope the rest of the week goes more smoothly for you.

The restroom picture/comment is priceless. :)

Unknown said...

Lol! Your boys crack me up! Sorry for the rough morning...we've all been there a time or two before and it stinks! I feel like most of the time the kids take turns crying but every so often there is a trifecta meltdown and it's a strong reminder to my uterus to shut down shop!

Marcella{The Life After "Trust Me"} said...

Hugs and laughter for you! :)

Amanda said...

Hahahaha oh geez!! Sending you tons of prayers and patience lady!

The outdoor bathroom is hilarious! I have 3 nephews who just pee in their yard in plain sight so at least your boys have some sense of decency?
