the problem with boys...

I said these words to J1 and J2 this morning as they were dilly dallying about trying to get dressed..."if I had girls, things would be a lot more efficient in this place!" Yes it is true! Routines would be stuck to. Orders would be answered. Clothes tidy. Teeth cleaned. Hair in pretty little piggies with matching ribbons. Socks up to the knees. Bed neat as a pin. And off to school we would march with Hello Kitty backpacks filled with homework completed and gourmet lunchboxes. But no. Instead i have, bed hair. Odd socks. Toothpaste smeared over cheeky grins. Beds, as they were, strewn. Orders answered back to. Homework half done. And half of the Transformers lunchboxes are filled with leftovers of yesterdays lunch, which will happen tomorrow, then the next day, then the next day, until they finally eat that apple!!!!! **sigh**

But alas, those cheeky toothpaste grins get me every time. I try to be cross. To put order into this so called morning routine. But every time I kiss those two goodbye at the school gates, my heart bursts with pride and love...

Actually there is one problem with boys, the inability never to be able to scrap in PINK! I will be forever scrapping in blue, red and green. And so it is! There IS a problem with boys.

Over at Scrappin Patch there is this fantastic wee comp starting tomorrow, might pay to check it out if you're that way inclined. I'll be posting. It will be fabulous...
