Is it only our kids who totally go nuts with company? We had a super nice family visit us tonight with their incredibly sweet, precious heart baby and the boys were so crazy! Embarrassing but funny at the same time. They really have skills when it comes to showing off, especially when they have a new audience...
Between Jace shooting himself with his toy gun (yes, maybe I shouldn't let him play with plastic guns, apparently he hasn't listened when I've lectured him on the DO NOT'S with play weaponry), Caden running between us and throwing a stuffed animal squirrel while giggling/yelling "squirrel" as we're trying to carry on a conversation, and Maddie crawling around with a little Hulk sound box thingy in hand that kept repeating in a rude, deep, obnoxious voice: "Rooaarrr, you're making me angry! You won't like me when I'm angry! Hulk Smaaaash!" while she's grinning ear to ear, it dawned on me that this is our new normal!!! Amidst all of the craziness, it felt good. Three healthy kids, excitement and giggles, tons of energy. Life.
It was great to meet our new heart friends and if they're brave enough to stop by again on their way through, maybe we can attempt another visit! It's pure entertainment with these three and I wouldn't change this craziness for anything...

Sounds familar...only my oldest girl would be standing on the fireplace singing Hannah Montana as loud as possible, with our younger daughter doing handstands & Josh jumping off the couch. Aww, good times!
I LOVE it when the kids are crazy!! Maybe not so much when I'm trying to converse with adults, but isn't it wonderful? I will sit back and just watch them interact, play, and thank HIM for every single MOMENT (good and bad). There's nothing more wonderful than being a Mother!

I'm sure they loved the "show" and can't wait for the next act. I'll send Sammi over, she is great at making routines to be performed at a moments notice. Plus if your kids aren't careful the adults might start thinking they can converse with friends, and then we adults get big heads and start thinking we are the bosses--it just spirals out of control without the kids there to reign us in.
Well, you know Jett so don't feel alone!!!! Hehe
Love,

I do love the craziness! It somehow makes things feel more "normal"...don't you think? I'm so happy to hear that Maddie has joined in with the chaos and craziness! She is going to have to keep your boys on their toes! Enjoy your chaos!
At least it's not your husband going nuts when you have company. Mine always gets out the toys and shows off. Honestly he's worse than the kids. Your kids are stars. I'm glad you checked my blog and approved. I am quite often here snooping into yours:) Thanks for sharing your story.
I can really relate to this. Our boys love to go into show boat mode... especially if it is a new family and if there aren't kids to play with that are their age. They HAVE to be involved and included so they "get on stage"
We have the hulk boxing gloves that say all of those lovely things!
I know some day when my kids are grown I will miss that noise. The noise of active, happy, nutty kids!
