He did...what?

My boys are definitely the epitome of the saying "boys will be boys". I feel like I am constantly yelling at them to 'pick up your toys', 'pick up your room', 'who peed on the toilet', etc. While I complain all the time sometimes, I couldn't imagine my world without them. My existence would be utterly boring.

Tavion is a sweet, sometimes shy, quiet, and reserved boy. He has the biggest heart and loves to help people. He constantly worries about everything. If I so much as say 'ouch' (and try not to let the profanities flow), he is right over me hovering excitedly saying "Mom, what happened, are you okay, let me help you...". Sometimes he gets rowdy and gets in trouble. Other times, he is hilarious! I think he gets his sarcasm from me, not to mention he is theatrical. The other day we had just gotten home and I had the house key in my hand. As I went to put it in the door, he said "Mom, you shouldn't have to do that". I said "I shouldn't have to do what? Open the door?" HE came back with "You shouldn't have to do everything. You know, you are 30." WTF? Really? Thank you to my snot-nosed dweeble sweet, adorable son for POINTING OUT HOW EFFIN OLD I AM! Of course he thought it was funny and took off running. I think he could tell by the dumb-founded look on my face that I was getting ready to sit on him and tickle him until he couldn't breath and begged for mercy.

Now on to Jaiden. Oh Jaiden. I don't even know where to begin about Jaiden. It's something every night with him. He has the most energy of any kid I have ever seen and he does not hesitate to say or do what he thinks. This has gotten him in more trouble than I can count and it has also provided more laughs than I can count. Jaiden has an obsession with Michael Jackson. (Thanks for that Eugene.) Jaiden loves walking around wearing his Michael Jackson t-shirt and watching his shadow on the wall as he tries all of the Michael Jackson moves. Jaiden also loves to walk around naked with nothing but his underwear on. Can you see where this is going? We live across the street from a nursing home and the public pool. All I can say is that I am glad it's winter and that the pool is closed. I had the inside door open on one of our nice days to air out the house while I was cleaning. I walked into the room and Jaiden was standing right inside the door, looking at his reflection in the glass with his hand cupping his private parts, wearing nothing but his underwear, doing Michael Jackson's hip thrusts. OMG! It was the funniest thing I had ever seen but I had to keep myself composed while I yelled at him to get out from in front of the door doing that.

Wow, I'm sure the little old ladies across the street got an eye full that day!
