Boys vs. Dog (The Stink Challenge)

As you know, I have a house with ALL boys!  My Husband, three sons... and then, there is me... the lone girl; well except for the dog.  So, we all know that as boys get older they smell more, deodorant is a must. They think body hair is awesome, tooting is funny, and joking about bodily functions is part of their everyday life... or at least that's what I've been told and somewhat prepared myself for. Will's favorite line to say to me used to be, "Mom, I can't wait for this to be a stinky boy house." To which I would grimace my face and say "Oh, no! Gross"; and make him giggle.
 But I have to say, the stinkiest member of our family isn't a boy... and it's NOT me! It's this silly dog of ours. Doesn't she know how unlady like she is... talk about silent but deadly, Literally had to leave the room while writing this article because of her fatal stink bomb!!!

Yes... I did just said, fatal stink bomb;I learned it from my boys.  Do you have a stinky boy house? Or maybe just a stinky dog?

I think I need a bigger Kitchen...

Just 4 short years ago, we moved into this South Texas Home. At the time we had a 2 year old, and a newborn.  I can recall so many days, washing dishes, cooking dinner, and enjoying William playing at my feet, while Cade sat cooing away in his bouncy seat on the kitchen table.  Well... needless to say 4 years later, our dear two year old has grown into a 6 year old and with two more brothers right on his tail at 4 and 2 1/2, and a large furry family member, also known as, Sally, that same kitchen floor has been filled up!  Most of my time in the kitchen is spent chasing someone out, because there just isn't room for 5 warm bodies in this space... I have to admit, I love that they all love to spend time in the kitchen, and be near each other and me when I'm working!
