Rough and Tumble

When people say about their son, "he is all boy!", I have to laugh.  Usually it is said after describing his love of dirt, trucks, wrestling and rough housing, and sports.  It can also be followed by the fact that their boy burps or farts like a champ, is stinky, and perhaps torments the pet dog.

I must have boys too!  

My girls do all of that and love it all.  The biggest difference that might not make them "all boy" is the fact that they are usually doing those things while wearing dress up high heels, lip gloss, and a cute bow in their hair.  

A most recent example of this is their wrestling habits with their pops.  Corky and the girls get into wrestling matches all the time and our girls are pretty ruthless!  

Here are a few more examples from over the past few years of my girls being not-so-dainty!

Gracey, August 2009, playing in dirt!

Gracey and Emily, 2009, really wanting to play with the lizard that was caught in our home.

Gracey, summer of 2011.  This shows her broken hand that happened when she was playing a little too rough at the park, and shows her tormenting the pup.  He's not safe, especially when he is sleeping!

With all that said, I do, with 1,000,000% of my being, love having girls.  Even though they can be stinky, sweaty, and hyper, they sure do make my heart happy!
