I know I’ve said this before on my blog, but I’ll say it again.

If you told me 7 years ago when I was pregnant with William (my first) that I would go on to have 3 more boys (in a row), I would have thought you were NUTS. Just plain NUTS.

But 7 years later… here I am with my 4 beautiful boys – William, Alexander, Benjamin and Henry – who literally keep me on my toes every single second, of every single day.

This morning I was “alerted” that someone farted on someone… so I thought it would be fun to share some things that my SONS SAY…

1) Yesterday I was dropping William off at school in the rain. I had all the teacher gifts with me, so I told him I’d walk in with him to help him out. I heard him exhale a little loudly so I said, “You don’t want me coming in with you?” William goes… “Didn’t you just get your hair done?” (I had.) “Do you really want to get it messed up in the rain, Mom?”
UM… OK.
*FYI – I did go in with him, even though he was a little embarrassed.

2) Alexander is my “sleeper.” The little guy loves to sleep late. On Thursday, Benjamin ran upstairs to “go to the bathroom” with Henry. I heard Alexander yell, “BEN!” (And then I heard Ben and Henry giggling.) So I called up and said, “Ben! Did you wake up Alex!?” Ben screamed back down (totally seriously), “No! I just pulled his pants down!”
YEAH… 🙂

3) “I think I peed my pants, Mom. Just a little. So it’s OK.” (Benjamin).

4) “Mom! Henry bit me!” (I’ve heard this from all of them). “Henry. Did you bite your brothers?” Henry starts to cry on cue and says, “But they bit me first.” (Which is ALWAYS a lie.)

5) “I’m not touching that cup if Ben touched it. He doesn’t wash his hands after he goes to the bathroom.” – William. (Which is true, so I can’t fault him on that one. I have to follow Ben back into the bathroom every time he goes to make sure he washes.)

6) “WOW! You have all boys!” from a cashier at Stop & Shop last week. William says to her, “I think she kept trying for a girl.” Nope… not true. 🙂

7) William to my mother-in-law, “Did you hate my mom when you first met her?”

8 ) I hear laughing from the bathroom with Alex, Ben and Henry – plus the door is shut. “What are you guys doing in there?” Alex calls out, “Going triple!” I kind-of-panic… “What does that mean?” Alex laughs, “All 3 of us are peeing at the same time!”
Oh, man…

9) “It was an accident.” Never something I like to hear out of Henry’s mouth.

10) And so, what started today’s idea for this post. I was innocently making coffee in the kitchen when Alex screamed up to me from the playroom, “MOM! Ben just farted IN my face! IN it!” And so… I hear words come out of my mouth that I never thought I’d say, “Ben… don’t fart on your brother!”

And you know, I wouldn’t trade my life for anything in the world.
