The Boys

Today the boys thought that playing superheros was a great idea. What starts out as a good idea in the Payn house usually ends with someone getting hurt. Owen decided that he wanted to be Batman with a Light Saber, which left Seth to be Spiderman with a Light Saber. Superheros had taken over the house and then Seth started crying. It seems that Batman was bigger, stronger, and more skilled with his Light Saber then Spiderman, which in turn upset him. It is hard to be the younger brother.

It is funny to see the two boys interact and many times I have found myself wondering why God has blessed me with boys. Really, I don't know much about boys since I grew up with my younger sister. We spent most of our time playing with dolls, cooking or playing grocery store. I did not like wrestling, or even playing superheros. I find that the boys just enjoy being boys. I don't know that I fully understand them yet, but I know that they are the best of friends. I am learning to let our house be filled with superheros, sword fighting, wrestling and noise.

I am truly thankful for my two little boys. Right now I am listening to them sleep. Owen is sleeping on the couch and Seth is upstairs. And yes I can hear Seth breathing loudly, as he does each day, from downstairs.

I am not sure what I am going to blog, but I hope that each time that I do you will find some laughter. We are so thankful for each person that God has blessed us with in life. May your day be filled with small glimpses of him.
