a Beautiful mess

There is indeed a beautiful mess inside my head and inside my home. Which shall have my attention? I am never able to decide, and that is why my life continues to be beautiful and messy.

Rough Dancing

The boys danced so hard tonight. After the excitement had worn off and bedtime was in full swing Fynn came to me with rug burns all over his arms and legs.

lemme sing to ya baby

I have been practicing the mandolin a lot lately and I know I have gotten better than when I started, so I gathered the boys just before bedtime tonight and asked them to sit and listen to a song. They were really sweet for about 20 seconds, then they started wiggling then kicking and giggling and wrestling with each other. I asked them to be quiet and listen. They did. When I was all done Tucker said I need to work on my strumming but mostly my chords, Rollin said I need to work on my singing, Tucker disagreed (which I thought was sweet and probably to gain browny points) and Fynn made a face of some sort and simply stated "well I just hate that song".

handcuffs

Tucker pulled the toy handcuffs out from under his pillow and sadly explained: "I had these under my pillow so that when Fynn fell asleep I could handcuff him, but by the time he fell asleep I was already asleep."
