Boys! Boys! Boys!Wow! They are pretty tough, rambunctious creatures, ey? I have two that are! Our poor house is getting all torn up and beaten down by the little Tarzans!
Last week, Diego was playing at the table and fell backward in the chair and hit the wall leaving a 3 inch gash in the sheet rock!
Several months ago, Diego had been swinging on the drape hanging in the living room for it only to come crashing down on him after the curtain rod was pulled out of the wall leaving a huge hole above the facing! That still hasn't got fixed, and hopefully, the dry cleaners haven't sold our curtain!
Today, Andrew is hanging on the bathroom towel rod, and yanks it out of the wall as he tried to swing on it! "I sorry, Mami." "Go get your Papi." "I said I sorry." I begin to laugh. Ben was upset that I was laughing, but I couldn't cry, and I didn't want to be angry (in the back of my mind I could hear that old saying, "kids will be kids" and he didn't mean to do it...and he did say "sorry").
So, tonight, we have patches of white puddy in several places in the house including the kitchen-dining area, the bathroom, and the boys' room! I prayed for children, and God has blessed me with three jewels...and I have vowed to take the good, bad, ugly, and even messy... thank you, God, for these babies... help me to be patient and creative in discipline and finding opportunities to teach them godly character throughout each day!

LOL! Oh, my!!! You're a really good sport, Wendi! Sometimes it seems like when it rains, it pours, but you've got the right attitude. Thanks for this post...now I know my kids are not abnormal!
We have the same kind of things happen at our house! Why do they think of doing the things they do? :) We were going to buy some new furniture, but it seems kind of pointless at this stage!
Enjoying the wall-patching stage with you.

Thank you for this post! It's just another reminder that I need to let "kids be kids" and not worry so much about what happens. How important it is to find humor in those situations! I haven't been able to catch up on blogs much lately but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed seeing those pics of Tatiana. She is a BEAUTIFUL little girl who clearly offers so much love and happiness. And your two boys, how God has blessed them with creativity, curiosity and radiant smiles. What a gorgeous family God has blessed you with!

Thats hilarious. They always seem to be up to something. Noah had tied a rope on the upper level railing in our split level house and proceeded to swing like tarzan. I just new he was going to crash through the downstairs wall.
