7) I am the Queen Bee
This goes along with number 6, but is slightly different. There are days when it’s very nice to be the only gal in town!
8) Sticks
Seriously, it doesn’t take much to entertain this crew. Throw a bunch of sticks in the backyard and I’ve got myself a free afternoon.
9) The chance to raise my boys into the kind of men I want to see in the world
When you look around the world, you can easily see how much damage a few bad men can do in the world. (Apparently, testosterone can have a negative effect on peacemaking.)
We have the chance to raise the kind of men who will build up the world instead of tearing it down. Men who will live with integrity and treat others with respect and kindness, men who love their families, and men who speak up for those who are less fortunate. I am honored to be given that duty in triplicate, and I can only pray that I will live up to the challenge.
How about you? What do you love most about the kids that you have?
Whether you have 1 or 10, biological or adopted or fostered or grandparented, they’re all special.
DISCLAIMER: This post isn’t intended to say that boys are better than girls or any of that silliness, but simply that having a house full of boys isn’t something to pity! If you enjoyed it, please pass it on!
