these boys

i have been sick. my hubby has been out of town. (waaaaaaaaah!) it was just me and the boys this past weekend. i mostly laid on the couch and slept while the boys did who knows what. lol. they were really good most of the time. at some random times, they would totally bounce off the walls. maybe it was because i had kept them inside all weekend. maybe it was because they had resorted to eating peanut butter out of the jar because i couldn’t get up to make them something. lol- ok that only happened a few times. my sweet father in law had us over for steaks saturday night, thank God for that meal. 🙂 anyways, so of course the boys were rugrats, fighting every now and then.. being totally, incredibly loud at times..etc, etc. but then–as i hop online to check my email, cam comes to me, ‘come here, mom’. he takes me by the hand to the kids’ room, to my bedroom and the downstairs area. they picked up all the toys. they made my bed. they cleaned off the dining table. they folded the blankets and fluffed the pillows on the couch. it was beautiful. i was speechless. what did i do to deserve these lovebugs? i totally smile and laugh as cam says, "let’s try and keep it like this, ok?"
