Today's writing prompt over at Absolutely Bananas is 10 things I've learned from my children. I've learned more from my kids than any class I ever took in college so it's a little difficult to narrow it down to just 10... but I'll give it a try.
1. It's amazing what you can solve with a calm voice and a quiet room and a cuddle. Or an ice cream cone.
2. Whoopie cushions, legos, matchbox cars, and hair ties go through the washer and dryer beautifully. Crayons do not.
3. I am the worst mommy EVER for 10 minutes out of every day... but I'm the best for the rest of the time.
4. As much as my children drive me crazy, I always miss them when I'm away from them.
5. Some children will wear "armies" long after they've learned to swim.
6. Never leave a child unattended... ever... unless you want a great photo opportunity for your blog.
7. Always look before you sit down. Always.
8. Boredom is the catalyst for creativity.
9. Boys are gross.
10. I have an unending amount of love and forgiveness in my heart. So do my kids.

That was both funny and sweet. I loved it.
That made me smile! Especially the watering of the plants. :)
I believe that boys were made because moms would need blog fodder!!! LOVE the photos on this post :)
Aw, what a wonderful mixture of silly and sweet. :) Just like life with kids, I suppose.
Great list and awesome photos!
Boys ARE gross! I have two boys and my two-year old thinks that "tooting" is the funniest thing EVER.
I grew up in a house full of girls, so raising boys is teaching me A LOT!
Isn't #4 amazing. As much as I countdown the minutes until I can get away for a few hours, the second they're gone I'm missing them again.
Very sweet and funny... great list! I totally love those pictures.
