Hi there! Yes, Andy is still married – I realized today that it’s been over a year and a half since I did a post. My second son is a little over a year and a half…..coincidence? I think not.
So, here’s a post from me! I thought that since I’ve done observations and random facts about me and the boys, I would do one on random facts about us, The Boxes, as a whole. So here goes:

1. You will NEVER find our house gracing the pages of a decor magazine. We’re always in a state of chaos, made even more crazy with the addition of children. Fortunately, you will also NEVER find us on one of those hoarding shows. And no matter what, you are always welcome here. 🙂
2. A good date night for us usually means a glass of wine and a really violent video game. If it’s one that makes us say “wow, we probably won’t let the boys play this one” or “dude, what is she wearing?” that’s even better.
3. We watch Wipeout as a family. The boys cheer when someone falls in the water.
4. I have managed to attend 5 colleges in my lifetime – none of them had a football team. So we have adopted Andy’s Baylor Bears as our team and have been teaching the boys to do the Sic Em Bears swiping hand thing. Jonathan just yells and tries to slap someone. It’s a work in progress.
5. We are a family of two kids and three carseats.
6. We are trying to do more one on one things with each other and each kid. Andy is teaching Brenden to play tennis, and one morning when I told Brenden I was taking him to play tennis, he looked at me and said, “noooo, mommy. You don’t play tennis! Daddy does!” (How did he know?!?)
7. Brenden wants to be Superman when he grows up. Flying around and everything. Andy and I just say ok and figure he’ll figure that out later.
8. I think Pixar owns my children. Until they came along, I was always disgusted by all the marketing stuff – tshirts, games, sheets….now I see it and think how much the boys would like it.
9. Before we had kids, Andy and I talked about how we really wanted to have them close together and had a nice list of reasons why that was a good idea. Now when I hear people say that, I giggle evilly.
10. Every time I take the boys out somewhere, I vow to never do that again. But I end up doing it anyway. Andy just doesn’t go anywhere with them by himself. I don’t know how single parents do this!
11. We usually eat dinner together every night at the table. I hope we can keep this up even after the kids are grown – I like sitting and paying attention to each other. If we are all eating the same thing, then that’s just a bonus.
