Why we don't need or want 6 kids!

This is for my sister, Cindy. In her last comment she mentioned something about us needing to have 6 more kids so that we'd have one kid per bike in the garage. Well, here's just a little glimpse into WHY that will never happen.

I've been wanting to share this...because it makes me laugh. This is the perfect opportunity. See, when you leave me comments, it inspires me to share more. I'm telling you.

Now, some people may be embarrased to admit that their children behave in this manner. I'm not. This isn't an every day occurrance or anything. Just both of them having a breakdown at the same time. I shouldn't think it's funny, but I couldn't seem to get mad about it. Maybe Larry and I are a little too laid back. Who knows?

Here's the story...the boys had both "earned" a trip to the skate park for being good. (I don't remember the details) We loaded the bikes and went to the skate park and there were several kids already there. We wouldn't let them go out there due to the fact that while both of them are great riders, they think of themselves only. There's no watching out for others, slowing down so other people can do their tricks. They (especially Maddox) just go....everywhere. So, after a while it started to clear out and there were only 3 other people left. So, we decided to give it a try and gave them their guidelines. Well, after about 30 seconds of riding, we loaded the bikes up and headed home. Neither of them are ready to ride there while there are other people using the skate park. This was the reaction that we got from both of them on the way home.

Actually, Larry took them yesterday evening and he said they both did excellent. See, it was a learning experience for them!

Deann! SO Great to hear from you! Of course i remember you how could I forget one of the best babysitters ever?!?! I know it is hard to believe how old (well not old, just older) we are, even I don't like to admit it. Erica is turning 22 on October 9th, I cannot even believe that!
Where are you guys living now?
Your two little boys are adorable!

I loved Maddox's view. All he would have had to say was "stupid" yet and that would have topped it off.

I will have to say that is a very mild tantrum by both of them. I'll have to get Addisen on video ... she'll blow them away! I always wanted five kids ... we'll be staying with three.
