My children

My elsest son turned 13- 2 weeks ago. I littlest guy tells me that big bro has body maturing going on.
Littlest guy aka Fun Size Guy--doesn't want to hug or cuddle.
My middle guy started crying and didn't want comfort hugs.
What does all this add up to? Disfunctionality at least! But definitely growing up!!!
I sat in the library watching a mom with her 2-ish y.o. daughter and infant son interacting, and wanted to hold that baby so bad.
I see toddlers with frankenstein steps and want to scoop them up and give'em tummy zerbers.
Sound familiar? Oh, most days I'm happy that they are mostly self-sufficient, but with these latest events, I am feeling the days whizzing by.
We've had a rough week and I told them that they didn't earn a 'fun thing' today. I'm changing my mind, cause I need some fun too. And they are sweet, great guys and I want to spend FUN time with them!!!
So, we're going to The Farm today to get harvest pumpkins.
Remember to do something fun with your children , even when they haven't earned it. They are human, ya know and in need of your time and love MOSTLY!
Now where are my mucky-muck boots?
