The Surprises of Motherhood

My boys surprise me on a daily basis.  I always get a chuckle out of the things that they do because really....who would've ever thought that...

1.  hand vacs could be so entertaining for a three year old?

2.  or that it would be my responsibility to carry all of their stuff in what seemed like a roomy diaper bag, until you have to shove a cloth diaper and wipes, three sippy cups, snacks, and a big toy truck in it...

After the boys go to bed is when I find the really big surprises....like toy snakes in my bedroom floor or Lightning McQueen in my bathtub.  But who would've guessed that I would ever find...

a harmonica next to my toothpaste?

or Daddy's old Ninja Turtle there to greet me in the bathroom when I wake up?

It's the little things that make me chuckle.  Like how the Captain thought the towel ring looked better like this, with the towel likely on the floor:

Oh, kids.  They keep me guessing, laughing, and stepping on random things in the night.  How about your kids?
